McIver Wil- p Sliamson, of Dar-'e lington, S. C., has Soriginated a plan il of corn culture ft S which has been n -adopted by a n sgreat aumber of v farmers residing s; Sin the Coastal ci Plains of South s Carolina a n d i2 Georgia with ex- p cellent results. C j N HRPER, Since a number tJ Agronmistof ir.quiries have c come to the Farm Service Burean~ t4 about methcds of corn culture it is considered advisable to recommend the, Williamson method to farmers in the h coastal region or those who have sandy p loam soils. The following is an out- l line of the Irethod in Mr. Williamson'ss own words: y "Break the land broadcast during the sl winter, usin~g a two horse plow or, better, a disc plow. Bed with turn plow six-foot rows, leaving a five-inch ~ balk. When ready to plant, break s this out with a scooter. Plow deeply i: in the bottom of this furrow, using a te Dixie with wing taken off. Ridge then sa on this fierrow with same plow still le going deep. Run the corn planter on es this ridge, dropping one grain every e3 five or six inches. c "Plant early, as soon as frost dan- ra ger is past. Early planting is espe- on cily needful on very rich lands si where stalks can not otherwise be kept from growing too large. "Give the first wolking with a har- 1i: row or any plow that will not cover Io the plant. For second working use th ten or twelve inch sweep. Corn should p1 not be worked again until the growth al has been so retarded, and the stalk ki so hardened that it will never grow th too large. This is the most difficult hi point in the whole process. Enperi ence and judg:ment are required to know just how much the stalk should pl be stunted, and plenty of nerve is re- Sc quired to hold back your corn when a your neighbors, who fertilized at plant- fe ing time and cultivated rapidly, have ou corn twice the size of yours. be "When you are convinced that your fri corn has been sufficiently humiliated. ar row the school goes to the ninth grade. More teaching force has jeen added to the work school which makes the work lighter md better. The results have >een very encouraging. On Field Day this school stood head and fhoulders above the rest in nathematics and other class )tudies to show the ability they ;ook first prize in every event xcept one, and then the school vas not lower than second in mything. The school is better prepared ;han ever to do the wor k and he pupils coming under the nfluence of these prepared vorkers show their training Lmd are proving themselves to be raluable and useful wherever ,mployed. This school and co vorkers stand for the education f the head, hand and heart, vhich gives the boy and girl t trained mind to plan their vork, and a skilled hand to ex cute it and a pure heart "o give ionest labor for value received. The practical education is what ve are trying to place in Winns oro Colored Graded School. Chair-caning, basket makipg. huck-mats, and sewing are )eing taught in our school. By some aid we would be able n a short time to put in our vork Domestic Science Depart nent which would be of untold telp to this community. We tave the teacher but lack the unds to prepare a place. We take this opportunity to hank the friends for their liberal [onations on Field Day and on ther occasions to aid us in the vork. The annual commencement egins May 4-9.

"Put half your fertilizer (this being e first used at all) in the old sweep irrow on both sides of every other iddle and cover by breaking out this iiddle with turn plow. About one eek later treat the other middle the! ne way. Within a few days side ,rn in first middle with sixteenth-inch veep. Put all your nitrate of soda ithis furrow, if less than 150 >unds. *If more, use one-half of it. over with one furrow of tu~rn plow,' Ien sow peas in this middle broad tst at the rate of at least one bushel acre, and finish breaking out. "In a few days side corn in other' iddle with same sweep, put balanice nitrate of soda in this furrow, if it as been divided, cover with turn ow, sow peas, and break out. This .ys by your crop with a good bed and' enty of dirt around your stalk. This iould be from June 10th to 20th, un *ss the season is very late, and corn iould be hardly bunching for tassel. "Lay by early. More corn is ruined; r late plowing than by lack of plow .g. This is when the ear is hurt. "The stalks thus raised are very nall, and do not require anything e the moisture even in proportion size than is necessary for large, .ppy stalks. They may, therefore, be ft thicker in the row. Large stalks, en not make large yields except with :treely favorable seasons, for they nnct stand a lack of moisture. Corn sed by this method should not be -er seven feet high, and the ear tould be near the ground." For Piedmont Section. For the Piedmont section the WI!. tmson Plan can not be closely fol wed but must be modified. Half of e fertilizer should be applied before anting. The other half should be pled not later than when corn is Lee high. The nitrate of soda should en be applied when the corn is waist Raise Cc.en As War Measure In respon'e ... the call for food sup es, in view of war conditions, the uthern farmer should plant as large crop of corn as possible. He should rtilize liberally and cultivate thor ghly so that maximum crops may produced. It is recommended that! m 500 to 600 pounds of fertilizer be! plied on Piedmont soils and from! -and the Rayo Lamp makes old folks' eyes young again. Its restful glow is scien tifically correct.
