Yellow metal signs with the above lettering soon will be dotting the rural countryside throughout North Carolina. The signs, 9 1/2 by 12 inches in size, are being awarded to all farmers who have produced a yield of 100 or more bushels of corn on one acre. Dr. E.R. Collins says total membership in the State's 100-Bushel Club reached 1,200 last year and may go beyond the 2,000 mark for 1949. Eligible farmers should see their county agent to obtain the signs, which are being donated by the North Carolina Foundation Seed Producers, Inc.
