Rippers Defeat
Forest City BY
Score OF 1870

The Marion Rippers defeated
Forest City IS to 0 here last We'd
nesday night with Wilburn Ham
NETT showing the way by scoring
two touchdowns.
The teams battled scorelessly
through the first half, but early in
the third quarter Marion took a
Forest City punt on its own 40 and
marched 60 yards to score. Dan
Mccall passed to Carl McGalliard
in the end zone for the final 26
yards and the touchdown.
The Rippers scored twice in the
last period and Hammett made
both tallies. Marion took a punt
again on its 40 and spanned the
remaining distance with Mccall
and Hammett doing the carrying.
Hamnett scored from the Is.
Mccall intercepted Forest City
pass on the SO and ran it to the
two in the closing minutes of the
game. Hammett carried over.
Alvin RAIDER, Ken Green and Nc
Galliard were outstanding in the
line for Marion. Butler was Forest
City's big gun.

Haywood Farmer
/ axes Lead
In Corn Contest

An official yield of 1913 bush
els per acre has put a Haywood
county farmer out in front in the
race for the .1949 corn-growing
championship, DR. E. r. Collins a.
gronomist for the State College Ex-
tension Service, said today. Unless
higher yield is reported within
the next few weeks, Dwight Will
liams Of Waynesville will become
North Cardinals new corn cham
pion.
The Haywood county farmer
grew his high-yielding corn on rich
bottomland. He fertilized with two
tons of stable manure and 200
pounds of 7-7-7 per acre at plant
ing time. On May 6, he seeded Dixie
II hybrid in 42-inch rows, spacing
it ~ inches in the drill. He side
dressed twice with 100 pounds of
AMI per acre each time.
Runner-up in the statewide con-
test to date is Wayne county All
Club boy, Dale Gainey, whose
measured acre yielded 1898 bush
els, He used hybrid n. C.. 27, fer
tilizing with 2,105 pounds of 6-8-6
at planting and side-dressing with
942 pounds of soda.
DR.. Collins says this field was
obviously over-fertilized. But he
adds that even with excessive fer
tilizer the cost per bushel, includ-
ing labor, was only SO cents. 'This
again emphasizes that high yields
are generally the most profitable
yields,' he said.
The agronomist added that the
contest is still open. Farmers who
think they have exceptional yields,
should contact their county agent.
If the agent thinks the corn is
promising enough, he will arrange
for an official harvest. The North
Carolina Foundation Seed Produc-
ers offer 1O0-dollar savings bond
for the highest yielding fields in
each of three areas-mountains,
piedmont and coastal plain. A Sc
cond 1O0-dollar bond will be a.
warded the highest of the three as
the state winner.

for free .om from kim Cotton S
rule. and this tire its tn lowlv
soybean which is "musciing in on
The old sovereign's domain.
Manv a small cotton farmer has
been looking around for some
time now for a new and more de-
pen liable crop for his rich but
tricky land. AID the soybean al
ready is solving that problem for
an adventurous few.
In 194S. for instance. the Delta
harvested 1.463,750 bushels of
soybeans from "a 200 acres, de-
spite limited local markets.. But
interest in The bean has increased
with epidemic like speed and 1949
may witness the heaviest acreage
yet in this easy-to-raise. economi-
cal crop.
Optimism for the suybean's flu
ture has been most strongly mani
fest, however by group of citi-
zens in Humphreys county. where
an estimated $4,000 acres will he
planted with the legume in 1850.
The Humphreys group backed

is capable of processing about so
tons of soybeans per day Twenty
10000 bushel capacity elevators

about 100000 bushels of beans.
The mill expects to process around
100000 bushels annually.
Today the producer is paid on
the average of $50 per bushel.
right at the mill. for his crop, de-
pending on current prices.
In the first stage of processing
the bean is cracked and reduced
to flakes, which then pass through
hexane solvent, very similar to
cleaning fluid, which extracts all
but about one per cent of their oil.
Each bushel of soybeans passing
through the process will produce
about 10 pounds of oil, which
averages around az cents pound
The Belzoni mill furnishes the oil
to refining plants in Chattanooga,
Atlanta, Memphis and at other
points in the South.
Considered one of the best
edible oils. it Is used in the manu-
facture of soaps and paints and
varnishes, the latter because of its
quick drying qualities.
Agricultural authorities also
consider the residue after process
ing to be one of the best livestock
feeds available. being SO per cent

cent for cottOnseed. Soybean meal
also has a "A per cent protein con-
tent, compared with Al per cent
for cottonseed.
y, H., Gantz. a former Iowan
who is general manager of the Bel
zoni mill. says that already they
are shipping such feed to Texas

ing livestock
One of the biggest soybean pro-
ducers in Humphreys county to-
day is l.. S. Stoner of Holly Bluff,
vice-president Of the corporation,
who has been making a study of
the bean for the past 10 years and
who is considered an authority.
Storer, We ,eran cotton planter,
