A Hundred Bushels an Acre
Without Fertilizer. ^eI,
And
The Progressive Farmer. wjtl
I rarely write to papers, but jn t|
alter reading in your paper sev- bum
eral weeks ago the letters from a Wlitc
number of farmers about their rp
crops of corn, all ending with so
much fertilizer used, etc., etc., t0 sj
it seemed to me that an attempt jrrov,
should be made to get them to mori
raise big crops with aids and noni
without this great expense of (]lov
commercial fertilizer. For in- jllirj
stance, a near neighbor of mine jie e
planted three acres in corn on gtall
the so-called Williamson plan. I 200The
commercial fertilizer usedj,.]lu
cost him 2Sc. per bushel of corn aruj
made besides the everlasting ^is
amount of work he had to do. lie
plowed it one side one time, j)e ?
then down the other side next
time, and soon and so on There is on ()
no telling what his com did cost ^red
him. Lie made enough to do him,
however, and is so happy that jnch
he ,v:ll try the same plan again. Iu.ft1
Now it seems !o be that very t0 ,
few of I he writers of those corn B^ajj
articles touched the heart of the fmiv
mailer. The object to be obtain seie,
ed should be to raise lig crops Kee(j
of coin without any commercial CFOp
fertilizer. Anybody can raise seeij
corn by using a big lot of commercial
fertilizer, nitrates and the 1
what not. the ,
But what we want is the man jizer
who can raise the big crops with- phia
out this great expense. The ban )JUt
ner crop of corn for 190G that I j$i<r
saw reported was raised by a j,, (|
Philadelphia lawyer on his farm \yPS
near that city, llis crop nyer- ||lQ ,
aged 130 bushels per acre on 00 |eri}
acres, and the land cultivated i0
had been in clover and was en cott
riched with barnyard manure, in or
He did not u~e an ounce of commercial
fertilizer. And we all I
know that Mr. Ciore, of Indiana,
who too< over $7,500 in prizes!
on his corn last year (one ear1 Ki?%'
selling lor $250), raised over 100 ,
bushels per acre on clover sod, h,U"1'
yon t
and with bornyard manure and ut ) l

On our own farm wo did not
have the clovor sod, by wo had
something(better in the pea a'.ub- ^
Lie. We planted 00 acres, 40 . ^
upland and 50 bottom. We fed jj
one hero of 300 Angus cattle on , .

was, thai land which eight years (l
ago made 15 or 20 bushels per j^.,
acre by the help of the usual mo-j|
dicum of commercial fertilizer,

last year made an average of
