Albemarle, Oct. 4 (AP)—Twenty farmers in Stanly county will select their seed corn in the field this year, according to County Agent O.H. Phillips. These men attended a meeting last week and heard James C. Murray, one of their neighbors, tell about the difference in yield which he obtained in favor of field-selected seeds as compared with that picked from the crib. Mr. Murray was very enthusiastic, Mr. Phillips said, and was of the opinion that the field-selected seed is worth at least $5 a bushel, if not more.
