How to Raise Corn. | fi
Clout inuod from P.ge Two. '
laving by should make you a good J
crop of corn, and it will certainly
make with much lens rain if ?
pushed and fertilized in the old
way.
The stalks thus raise;! are very
small, and do not require any- j.
th.ng like the moisture, even in
proportion to size, that is neces- j]
sary for large sappy stalks. They
may, therefore, be left much
thicker in the row. This is no
new process.
It has long been a custom to
cut back vines in order to increase
the yield and quality of fruit, and
so long as you do not hold back
your corn it will go, like mine so ?
long went, to all stalk. ^
Do not be discouraged by the ne
looks of your corn during a(;
the process of cultivation, it will ^1(
yield out of all propotiou to its fr
appearance. Large stalks cannot
make large yields, except with n(
extremely favorable seasons, for m
they cannot stand a lack of mois- w,
ture. Early applications of ma- y(
nure go to make larke stalks,
which you do not want, and the
plant food is thus used up before up
the ear, which you do want, is
made. Tall stalks not only will ja
not produce well themselves, but ne
will not allow you to make the
pea vines, so necessary to the im- ^
provemeut of land. Corn raised ja
by this method nhould never grow U(
over seven and one half feet high ar
and the ear should be near to the t|,
ground. ni
1 consider the final application pj
of nitrate of soda an essential ot
point in this ear making process. wj
It should always be applied at w|
last plowing and unmixed with re
other fertilizers. ve
1 am satisfied with one ear to R||
the stalk, unless a prolific variety ne
is planted, and leave 100 stalks g0
for every bushel that I expect to m(
make. 1 find the six foot row
easiest to cultivate without injuring
the corn. For 50 bushels to
the acre, I leave it 16 inches jn
apart ;for 75 bushels to the acre j)e
12 inches apart, and for 100 bushels
eight inches apart. Corn
should be planted from four to
six inches below the level, and laid *
by from four to six inches above. J
No hoeing should be necessary,and 1)1
middles may be kept clean until tlm
time to break out by using liar- wa
row or by running one shovel inn
furrow in center of middle and
bedding on that with one or more
rounds of turn plow.

tried by this method the first '''
year, or until you are familiar ?f
with its application. Especially m
is it hard, at first, ?to fully carry Ai
out the stunting process, where a
whole crop is involved, and this j
is the absolutely essential part of
the procese. ]
This method I have applied or
seen applied successfully to all w.
kinds of land in this poet ion excep:
river lands and moist t>?>t-' 11
torna, and I am confident it can ^
be made of great benefit throughout
the entire south. j So
In the middle wes?, where corn 1 ?
is so prolific and profitable, and j
where, unfortunately for us, so
much of ours has been produced,! ,

large. As we come south its sizei *
increases at the expense of the '
ear. until in Cuba and Mexico if
is nearly all stalk (witness Mexi l
can varieties). j n
The purpose ot this method is! [
to eliminate this tendency of! ,
corn to overgrowth at the expense
of yield in this southern climate, a
By this method I have made
my corn crop more profitable I

ive used three varieties, and all
ive done well. I have never
led this method for late plant
p. In fact, I do not advise the
te planting of corn, unless it he
icessary for cold lowlands.
The increased cost of lahor and I
e nign price or an material ana
lid are rapidly making farming
lprotitable, except to thone who
e getting from one acre what
at formerly got from two. VVe
ust make our lands richer by
owiug deep, planting peas and
her legumes, manuring them
ith acid phosphate and potash,
hieh are relatively cheap, arid
turning to the soil the resultant
getable matter rich in humus
id expensive nitrogen. The
eds of our soil are such that the
uth can never reap the full
ensure of prosperity that should
hers until this is done.
I gave this method as a farmer
the farmers of the south, trustg
that thereby they may be
nefited as I have been.
