EiYDE'S BIGGEST
SOYBEAN CROP is
BEING MARKETED
Said TO Be Greatest in Quality
and Quantity Ever Produced
in Area

A big grain season is on in
Hyde, and Beaufort Counties, and
farmers may be expected to get
on their feet this season. The soy
bean yield this year is declared to
be the best ever, both as to quality
and quantity, according to Harry
Latham, veteran Belhaven grain
dealer in Belhaven.
Average yield of soybeans is
estimated at 80 to 80 bushels per
acre where the usual average has
been 20 to 80 bushels. Favorable
weather at the right time of the
season has contributed to this
bumper, crop of soybeans. Hyde
County fortunately has a good
corn crop, not as heavy as in
some years but something to be
thankful for. The low, moist soils
of Hyde County enabled corn to
grow this year, while it parched
to death in most of eastern North
Carolina. But then, Hyde County
has been famed for its tall corn,
which often reaches a height 70 ID
feet and produces in excess of 100
bushels to the acre.
A tremendous amount of grain
is being shipped out through the
R. L. Gibbs terminal at Engelhard
which is one of the largest in the
whole area. This business is val
liable adjunct to this comparatively
small town. Belhaven has several
outlets, including Cargill's plant,
and Mr.. Latham's company. About
80 per cent of the grain shipped
out of Belhaven is estimated to go
to Norfolk, as much of it goes by
rail. But other shipments, by boat,
and out of Engelhard go largely
to Baltimore.
The current market on corn is
$1.15 to $1.40 for yellow and $1.3O
to $3.50 for white corn.
It's good news to learn that
Hyde and Beaufort's farmers may
profit well by their bean and corn
