A grand time is certainly in

School House tomorrow, and of
couis everybody is expected to
be there.
ac?es, anil tlie land is of average
quality only. The first thing he
did to the soil was to "break it
up" to the depth ot eighteen in
choB, using a two hor-o plough
drawn by a couple ot heavy,
stout mules. This was followed
by thorough harrowing. The
land was then prepared for planting,
the rows being made five
leet apart and the corn planted
a foot apart in the drill. A light
application ot commercial fertilizers
was made at the time of
planting, only about 100 pounds
to the acre. The corn was planted
on the 18th day ot May, and
in less than two months the crop i
was "laid by," the plant having
become too rank to admit of fur
iher cultivation. The corn was
ploughed or worked only three
times. Fertilizer was applied
during cultivation, but not ex
ceeding 300 pounds to the acre
wore used altogether, includingI
the application at the time of
planting.
The field now presents the appearance
of rich river bottom
loom. Tlie stalks contain from
two to lour larce, well-developed
ears, an unsually large per cent,
ot them hearing four ears each.
1 here are apparently more stalks
I with three ears than with two.
Caretul estimates place the prospective
yield at fifty bushels to
the acre."
