-had ever seen and believed he would make nothing. In July it was the sor- I riest thing he ever saw; four weeks later the same man said it was the ] finest thing he ever saw. Mr. W., B. McCown saidi he ha(d made 80 bushels on an average of six acres. Formerly he made about 10 bushels with 900 pounds of fertilizer. 'The plan is worth a' g'reat deal to and; he voild not, take $15 for fer tilizin material left on his land. He put $13 worth of ferdilizer to the acre. The plan needed no change. Mr. R. E. James. -lMr. I. E. James had followed the plea. li 1904, on 10 acres, he aver aged 40 bushels; inl 1905, on 12aeres, lie averageil 4:3 bushels. The (orn1 this season wvas sn thick lie had become il easy and hal consulted Mi. William son, who reassured hinn. Two wveeks after pttiig- oil the top-dressing, the cr)op showed results. In 1901, lie had averageI 43 bushels on 14 acres and had the higg-est. pile fr corn ne ever had in his life. If- he had followed the plan strictly he is satisfied he -would aiv made 60 bushels. Tt was a hafl year fmr eorni.

Th'le Will1iamuson plani left thle I landt ini betltr t'o.ndit ion. I w"as eas.. I ier to cultivate land under this meth- . Mr. Waynie Cl. King teli fied that lie had made 80) bushels on some ac~res. Uie hiatd ini all 21 at'rts'iand thle aver age was t6l bushels, withI $7.15 wto'th ' -of fertilizers to the acie. Tt wvas not so expensiv'e tto cui li'ate corni tIs wvay andt it was easier. This land was good average land that wouldi make ~ 500O poundlts of cottIon withl out fort ili v.er. 'The Wrill iamson plIan was all right in e'very particular. A Chesterfield Farmer. Mr. R1. S.Gran t of Chester''neld1 coun..1 ty had-.formerly matde 10 to 20 bush ols aver'age on good land. He had tri .'ed the plan for the first time andr Iiad mare 76 bushels on an average oni 109 neres. On one tract of 40 acres hie baa made by actual measurement 2,- t 200 1usls811 or more than 57 bushels * ~to the acre. Saves fully the amount aspent for 'fertilizer' for comIng crops. s 'On -the 10 acres on which he made 76 * 'bus els to the acre lhe had fotfmerly I 'nade 20 bushels, lie stunted corn by e keeping fertilizer and soil away from y it. To this remarkably conclusive testi. -mony I wish to add other that goes y straight to the anark and does not lack evactness of description. Mr. 0. 'Walter Abbott of Mont Clare. nar-.. ington county, said, when asked fo: iitestimony: "Oi two and one-thir< teres I made five and a half wagon oads of corn. The wagon body shell Id out 19 2-5 bushels and the tota iuount was 102 1-2 bushels or 44 >ushels to the acre. The land was v 4andy hillside witliout clay subsoi nd it was a first attempt. On thi. and I wouldl have made about si: mishels of corn this year with 20( )ounds of fertilizer. It would hav( >rought. 300 pounds of seed cottoi vithout fertilizer. I did not hold ofj ertilizer as long as the plan calleI or. Did not stunt enough and am sure would have made 12 bushels all tere more, if the plan had been strict. y followed. Cori planted in the olI vay -rew off fine arnd T got seared [mprovenent of the soil more thai 'xeeds value of fertilizer used. Ther< Ire about two tonls of stuff left to th( lere, mostly pea vine hay. I used fol. owing fertilizer: 200 poids kainit .00 pounds nitrate of soda, equal ii ralue to $7.60." A Vivid Contrast.
