Knrly applications of man U" '<> make I a rue stalks, which noii do not want, and the plant food is all thus used up before the ear. which you do want, is made.

I ?on.-.ider the final application of nitrate of soda an esnentiul point in this ear-making process. It should always be applied at last plowing ami unmixed with other fertilizers. T am satisfied with one ear to the ?'talk unless a prolific variety ig planted, and leave n hundred stalks for every bushel that I expect to make. I find the six-foot row easiest ' o cultivate without injuring fho corn. For fifty bushels to the aero I leave it sixteen inches apart; for seventy five bushels to the acre, twelve in ches apart, and for one hundred bush els, eight inches apart. Corn should be planted from four to six inches below the level and hid by from four to six inches above. No hoeing should he necessary, and middles may bo kept clean until time break out. by using harrow or by running one shovel furrow in centre of middle and bedding on that with one or more rounds of turn plow. I would advise only a few acres tried by this method the first yeor. 01 until you are familiar with its apoli cation. Especially is it hard at first to fully rarrv out the sfuntine process where a whole crop is involved, and this Is the absolutely essential part of ?he process. This method I have applied, o* seen applied successfully to al' kinds of land in thl* section, excep' wet lands and moist bottoms, and 1 am confident it can be made of greal benefit throughout the entire South In the middel West, where com i: so prolific and profitable, and where unfortunately for us, so much of our? has been produced, the stalk does no! ?Naturally grow large. As we com< South its size increases, at the ex nense of the ear, until in Cuba, and Mexico, it is nearly all stalk (witnes* Mexican varieties.^ The purpose of this method is t< eliminate this tendency of corn t< overgrowth at the expense of yield ii ''lis Southern climate. Hy this method I have made m> corn crop more profitable than im cotton crop, nnd mv neighbors an?; friends who have adopted it have without exception, derived great ben efit therefrom. Plant your own poo d. T would not advise n change of seed and method the same year, ns you will not then know from which you have derived the benefit. I have used three va fi tie* and all have done well. I have never used this method for Inte plant ing. In fact, I do not advise th< late planting of corn, unless it be necessary for cold lowlands. The increased cost of labor am , the high price of material and lanf nre rapidly making farming unprofi (able, except to those who axe getting from one acr^ \?hat tbey former!' got from two.
