South Carolina Better Farmin* WILLIAMSON PLAN I Has Proven Successful in Coastal E. Mciver Wil liamson, o? Dar lington, S. C., has originated a plan of wm culture which has been adopted by a great number of farmers residing in the Coastal Plains -pf ..--South, Carolina and Georgia with ex cellent results. Since a number t of inquiries have Service Bureau about methods of corn culture it is considered advisable to recommend the Williamson method to fanners in the coastal region or those who have sandy loam soils. The following is an out line of the method in Mr. Williamson's own words: "Break tho land broadcast during the .winter, using 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 this out with a scooter. Plow deeply in the bottom of this furrow, using a Dixie with wing taken off. Ridge then on this furrow with same plow still going deep. Run the corn planter on this ridge, dropping one grain every five or six inches. "Ph1-' early, a? soon as frost dan ger is past. Early planting is espe cially needful on very rich lands where stalks can not otherwise be kept from growing too large. "Give the first working with a har row or any plow that will not cover the plant. For second working use ten or twelve inch sweep. Corn should not be worked again until the growth has been so retarded, and the stalk so hardened that it will never grow too large. This is the most difficult point in the whole process. Experi ence and judgment are required to know just how much the stalk should be stunted, and plenty of nerve is re quired to hold back your corn when your neighbors, who fertilized at plant ing time and cultivated rapidly, have corn twice the size of yours. "When you are convinced that your corn has "been sufficiently humiliated, you may begin to make the ear. The SLOAN'S LINAMENT FOR RHEUMA MATISM.

Agronomist come to the Farm y in the South OF CORN CULTURE Plains And Sandy Loam Soils plants should now bo from twelve to eighteen inches high. "Put half your fertilizer (this being the first used at all) in the old sweep furrow on both sides of every other middle and cover by breaking out this middle with turn plow. About one week later treat the other middle the same way. Within a few days side corn in first middle with sixteenth-inch sweep.,. Put all your nitrate ot_soda in this fi..TOw, if less than T5? nounds. more, use one-half of it Cover with ne furrow of turn plow, tSen sow peas in this middle broad cast at the rate of at least one bushel to acre, and finish breaking out. "In a few days sido corn in other middle with same sweep, put balance of nitrate of soda in this furrow, if it has been divided, cover with turn plow, sow peas, and break out. This lays by your crop with a good bed and plenty of dirt around your stalk. Tins should he from June 10th to 20th, un less the season is von' late, and coin should be hardly hunching for tassel. "Lav hy early. More corn is ruined by lato plowing than by lack of plow ing. This is when thc ear is hurt. "The stalks thus raised aro very small, and do not require anything like the moisture even in proportion to size titan is necessary for large, sappy stalks. They may, therefore, he left thicker in the row. Large stalks can not make large yields except with extremely favorable seasons, for they cannot stand a lack of moisture. Corn raised by this me'hod should not he over seven f'.'et high, and the ear should be near tho ground." For Piedmont Section. For the Piedmont sec'ion the Wil liamson Plan can not be closely fol lowed but must be modified. Half of the fertilizer should be applied before planting. The other half should he applied not later than when corn is knee high. The nitrate of soda should thon be applied when the corn is waist high. Raise Corn As War Measure In response to the call for food sun plies in view of war conditions, the Southern fanner should plant as large a crop of corn as possible. He should fertilizo liberally and cultivate thor oughly so that maximum crops may be produced. It is recommended that frcm 500 to COO pounds of fertilizer he applied on Piedmont soils and from SOO to 1,000 to coastal plain soils.
