0ORN RAI01G PLAN. Brief Presentation of the "William son Plan" by Mr. Rice. The "Williamson plan" of raising, corn has during the last few monthi received many favorable comments and the farmers in many seettoiis of the State are adopting the plan do vised by Mr. E. Melver Williamson, of Darlington. . The method is said to work wonders in the way of increas ing the output of corn per aere and promises to sonie extent to revolution ize South Carolina.. A condensed formula of the mbthod has been prepared by Mr. James Hen ry Rice, 'Jr., the well known writer and it is as follows: Break land in winter one-fourth deeper than common; lay off in six foot rows, leaving five-inch balk. When time to plant break out balk with scooter, following in same fur row on this ridge. Ridge then with same- plow, g6ing deeper; run coin planter with Dixie plow, with wing. taken off. Plant as early as possible, usually about the inddle of March. Drop corn grains every five or six inches. Use no fertilizer. Give first workin- \vith harrow or any plow that. will not cover plant. Second working with 10 or 12-inch sweep on both sides of plant. Thin after this working . Corn should not be worked again until suficiently stunted, so that it will iever g'row large. Wlenl it is about. 10 to 12 inches high put oin fertilizer. Mix 200 poun(ds cotton seed meal, 200 pounds acid p1josphate, 400 pounds kainit. Put half in old sweep furrow, on both sides of every other middle. Cover by breaking out middle with turn plow. One week later treat the 6ther middle in the same way, fertilizer and all. In a few days side e(Yrn in first middle with 16-inch sweep. Put all your -nitrate of soda in this furrow, if less than 150 pounds is used; if more, put half. Cover with one furrow or turn plow, then sow peas in middle broad cast. at rate of a bushel- to the acre, and finish breaking out. Lay by early. More corn is ruined by late plowiing than by lack of plowing. No hoeing is llecessary and middle may be k1ept clean unt.il fimie to break out by liar rowing. For 50 bushels to the aeie leave stalks 1( inches apart; for 75 bushels, 12 inches; for 100 bushels, 7 inhes apart. Do not pull fodder ; do not. but tops; let peas and pea vines (lie On land. J'alue' in fertilizer todland is .worth more than forage. Advertised Letters. Ltters remaining in the post office at Newberry for the week ending Dec. 22. A-Mr. WV. A. Anderson. B-Rev. F.
