Better Farming in the South
WILLIAMSON PLAN OF CORN CULTURE
H*> Proven Sucoessfut in Coastal Plains And Sandy Loam Soils
E. Melver Wil
liamson, of Dar
lington, 8. C., Jian
originated a plan
of corn culture*
which has b?e*
adopted by a
great number ef
farmers residing
in the Coastal
Plains of South
Carolina and
Georgia with ex
cellent rcevriU*.
Slnco a number
of Inquiries have
J. N. HARPER,
Agronomiat
yoroe Ktonn Service Bureau
about methods of corn culture it is
considered advisable to recommend the
Williamson method to farmers in tho
coastal region or those who have sandy
toeni soils. The following i? an out
rtne of tho method in Mr. Williamson's
wn words:
"Ilroak the land broadcast during tho
wiuUir, using a two horse plow of,
better, a disc plow. Bed with turn
plow six-foot rows, leaving a ftve-lneh
balk. When ready to plant, break
this out with a scooter. Plow deeply
in tho bottom of this furrow, using a
Dixie with wing taken off. Hidge then
?n this furrow with same plow skill
going deep. Run the corn planter on
this ridge, dropping one grain every
five or six inches.
"Plant early, as soon as frost dan
ger is past. Early planting is espe
cially needful on very rich lajuls
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 coiner
?he plant. For second working use
ten or twelve inch sweep. Corn should
not fie worked again until the growth
has been so retarded, and the sttrfh
so hardened that it will never grow
too largo. This is the most difficult
point in the whole process. Experi
ence judgment are required to
know just how much the stalk should
he stunted, and plenty of nerve Is *e
<iui?wil 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 yon are convinced that your
corn has been sufficiently humiliated,
you mar begin to make tho ear. The
plants should now be from twelve to j
eighteen incbes high. I
"Put half your fertilizer (this being
(,he (first used at all) in ths old sweep .
furrow on both side* of every other
middle and coyer by breaking out this
middle with turn plow. About on?
week later Meat the other middle the
halike way. Within a few duya aide
corn in first middle with sixteenth-inch
sweep. Put all your nitrate of soda
la this furrow, if less than 160
pouude. If mote, use one-half of it.
Oover with ont> furrow of burn plow,
then sow pea* in tills middle broad
cast at the rate of at least one bushel
;lo acre, and finish breaking out.
"In a few days side corn in other
middle with same sweep, put balance
of nitrate of soda in this furrow, if it
haa 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. This
should be from June 10th to 20th, un
less the season is very late, and corn
should be hardly hunching for tassel.
"I^ay bv early More com is ruined
by late plowing than by lack of plow
ing. This is when the ear is hurt.
"The stalks thus raised are very
small, and do uot require anything
like the moisture even in proportion
to size than is necessary for large,
sappy stalks. They may, therefore, be
left thicker in the row. Largo stalks
can not make large yields except with
extremely favorable seasons, for they
cannot stand a lack of moisture. Corn
raised by this met hod should uot be
over seven feet high, and the ear
should be near thr* ground."
For Piedmont Section.
For the Piedmont section the Wil
liamson Plan can not be closely fol- I
lowed but. must be modified. Half of I
the fertilizer should be applied before ,
planting. The other half should be j
applied not later than when corn is j
"knee high. Th*? nitrate of soda should j
then be applied when '.he corn is w aist |
high.
Raise Corn As War Measure
In response to the call for food sup- I
plies in view of war conditions, the i
Southern farmer should plant as large
a crop of corn as possible. He should, k
fertilize liberally and cultivate thor
onghly so that maximum crops may
bo produced. It is recommended that
from r.00 to f?no pounds of fertilizer be
applied on Piedmont soils and from
800 to 1.000 to coastal plain soilb.

FAREWELL TO TUT

"I don't think I hat I can ??vui curt*

girl spoke softly, and there wu* ? m
lulu wilfulness In her eyva. "Tfc?a see,
I'm different from moat Klr,M* hiuI

"Hut you can mill Iiave htm," Dick
Uarrett persisted. "lie can live with
us ami you can look out for hlw all
you want to."
"No, Dick !" Dorothy liayden ahook
her head. "1 think that I've given hliu
so much love and care that I haven't
any left lor other people/'
MuhIc sounded from the ballroom of
i he Country club. The man roue.
"Tin- orchestra is playing 'Aloha
Oc,' " he said. "l)o you mind dum-iug
11 II IUV I
"I should love to."
Together they made their way tutu
(he big ballroom. Dreamlike, the :??u
sic Honied across the floor. J)lck ami
Dorothy danced ulleuily, the glrl'i|t\\es
half closed, her left huud resting, with
? hint of u caress, on her partner's
arm. The weirdly sad music seemed
like a 11 vlay thing, ho subtly did it lit
in with the mood of the two dancers.
But finally the struloa died away, and
Pick, stepping buck, looked search
ing! y Into the girl's eyes. In their
depths lie discovered a light wiikli set
him heart to beating wildly^ Without a
word, he led her to the shadowed ter
race.
"Are you still sure'/" he asked aoftly.
For a moment Dorothy hesUuted.
The charm of the music had not jet
been lost, the swaying rhythm of the
dance luJf intuxlcuted her. JLlor glume
wandered to ihe clubhouse porch, light
ed by the mellow glow of iuuny lan
terns. As she looked, a gray-huired
rtfon framed himself iu the dOt#way,
his thin face silhouetted against the
brilliant background. The light died
from her eyes.
"I'm sure, Diek," she unsweNMl. "As
long as he lives, my father will always
be first."
"I'm not going to ask you again," he
said slowly, "because 1 bellevo tluit
you know your own mind. Bat 1 love
you. have loved you ever since i met
you live years ago. I had hoped?" ills
voice broke, and he shook Ma head
half angrily at the display of emotiou.
? But I'm not going lo say anything
about that. Tomorrow I'm going to ac
cept that position in I'umimu. A boat
sails iu ilu* afternoon, and I'll be en
it."
Ib< paused, and the girl cau&lU her
breath sharply. "'Aloha Do' means
'farewell to thee,' In English," Ik? con
tinued. "That dance was probably the
hist one we'll ever have together.- llut
I'll always remember it, and whenever
1 hear the music again I'll think of this
? ?n?? hi^ht with you." He held out his
baud. "So 1 guess it's good-by."
For a long time after he had gone,
Dorothy star??d with unseeing eyes in
to the darkness surrounding the fctoun
try club.
?She reviewed her frlemlsliip with
Diek Garrett. It seemed only yester
day that he had moved to Westwood,
a blond-haired, blue-eyed college boy.
She remembered his little acts ef kind
ness to her father, his consideration,
his unfailing loyalty. Suddenly she
realized that he meant more K> her
than anyone else in the world.
A shadow fell across the por?h mid
a figure stood before her. She looked
up half hopefully. It was her father.
"Where's Dick?" he asked.
"He's gone." Her voice was duM.
"lie?he leaves for Panama tomw
row!"
For a long two minutes the old man
was silent.
"Why?" he questioned finally.
"Because I wouldn't marry him."
She tried to spcuk bravely, but a sob
caught in her throat.
"Don't you love him?"
"I thought I didn't, but I do. Oh,
daddy, daddy!" Suddenly she burled
her face on his shoulder and Bokbed
quietly. He waited until the sobbing
had spent itself, and then he sppke
softly:
"Would you like to go homey
"Yes, any place where I oan be by
myself."
Her father smiled, a light of reminis
cence in his eyes.
"You'll have to wait for ten minutes,
or so," he said. "I must see n jnun on
business. But I'll be back Just as soon
as possible."
"I'll wait here for you."
The music began again. But Dorothy
did not hear ; she was thinking of other
things. She realized vaguely tha* an
automobile had drawn up belore tlie
club entrance. A man loomed out of
the darkness and stood before her.
"I>orothy!" he said.
Her heart leaped wildly. She sprang
to her feet.
"Dick !"
A strange mixture of wonder, imbe*
lief and happiness was In her voice.
The man smiled into her eyes.
"Your father phoned to me," he ex
plained. "He said that you wanted
me."
"Oh 1" She seemed unubb' to find
voice for the varied emotions which
surged within her.
"Do you?" he persisted gently.
She placed one hand on his arm,
timidly.
"Yea," she answered softly. "More
than all the world."

this is Its long winter sleep.
This sleep is one of the greatest mys

studying It lately, In different jmrt.s

some new things about It. It has ul

to sh?ep through the winter begin to
put on fat. Why Is that you may
ask. No one ran answer why. My

lean and scrawny, so it Is sup|x?.ist
the fat --applies energy to keep the
heart heating. although the priKX's.s

In the Ozark hills of Missouri Is a
huge eave wherein million of bats
hibernate each winter. In the fall
they i-tune flying in clouds from all

clusters until spring, when they go
forth again to their rummer haunts
to tVed and nest ant! multiply.
When the woodehuck cruwls into
his hole for Ills winter's sleep he
stops breathing, but his heart beats
on, tVsd>lv, and his blood circulates
slowly. Vou may pull him out when
he is thus hil>ernating und hold him

will not drown, beeause lie Is not
breathing and his lungs will not till

and his entire spinal cord, and his
heart will beat for 1'J hours. Vou

Unt it is i^ossiblo t<> frei*ze the
warm-blooded, hibernating animal to

will Ih'uIii to stir, and if it stays ti>o

as possible after they occur.
Subscribers are asked to report trouble
immediately, and to exercise a reasonable
patience while it is being cleared.
If you do not see a man actually
working on your telephone, it does not
mean that you are not receiving proper
