Is a very good rule, as many can un.” : ■ ^ • ANOTHER CORN TALK. E ifi'Tver Williamson of Darlington county has found out. that there is more good money in raising corn than in making cotton. For years ho followed tho common plan of planting 8 by 3 feet, on or above the surface, with all the fertilis er under the corn. He made big high stalks with smail ears and had to buy corn every Spring. Then lie thought, lipw in tho corn ■tates of the North and West the stalks are small and the ears large and a Irtenty of them. Soho adopted anew plan which has worked well. The re sults of hi* experiments were, in 1904, with $11 worth of fertilizer to the acre, an average of HI bushels to the acre, aotne acres pYoducliig 125 bushel. Last year with only l inches of rain from Juno 12lh to .Iuly 12th he made, with $7.01 worth of fertilizer to the acre, an a v era go of. n;Uj y »bnt ^- This i* his plan: hreak the land thoroughly ami deenjy- fn the^tWliter, orio-foiirth «leeper*wtfiau It haa been broken beforo. Don’t turn up too nneh of Hie subsoil and never plow your land when it is wet If you ever •xpect to have any use for it again. , . U«d wuh umo plow iTr siTr fwrt fOWs, leaving tlca tmihc* balk. When ready to plant hreak the balk wltli a scooter, following in hotlom of thla furrow Re«4t> \vttji Dlxio |ilow, wing taken off. Jtidge—on this furrow,with same plow still golng dcep. Knit corn plantor on thU ridge, dropping one grain every live or six Inches. IMant early, as soon as danger of frost U past. aay drst sCa- aonahle spoil after Siarch 15tb. Give lirst working with harrow' or any plow that will not" coyer the plant*. For second working use 10 or 12 Inch scra per f on both sides when the corn Is about S Inehrs high. , Com should not he worked again un til the growth haa been so retarded nn<! the sulk so hardened that it (tho stalk) will neveijgiow loo large. Ex- periemie ami judgment are reijuired to show just how much the stalk should t»e stunted, and 1‘i.KNTr or nervk is required to hohl hack yo tr corn when your neighbors who fertilized at plant ing time have corn twice the size of yours. This is the most particular point in the whole process. . ;tyh«» satisfied mat your com has t>eou stunted enough you may begin to make the bar. The cogli should then * 1mm 12 to IS Inches high. 1'ui half your mixed fertilizer (tills being the ilrst used at all) in the old sweep fur row on both sides of every other die and cover by breaking out this middle with turn plows. About a week later treat the other middle the same way. Within a few days aide the corn in first middle w ith 111 inch sweep. Rut all your nitrate of soda, if less than 150 pound* to the acre, in this furrow. jf,mprn u»w half of it now. Cover with one furrow of turn plow, then sow peas broadcast, at least a bushel to the acre and finish breaking out. In a few days side corn in the other middle with same sweep, tint balance **4 t«*r*to otaoda in same furrow, if It ha* beer, divided, and hreak out. Lay by early; mote corn Is ruined by late plowing than by lack of plow ing. Lay by from June 10th to 20th, unless the sea-on is very late. He recommends the use of £00 pounds of fertilizers to the sere, oon- >4*Unti «f 200 pounds ol cotton seed -loeal, 2<K)-ponfids of acidpliosphatc and dOO pounds of kuiult mixed, and 125 pounds of nitrate of soda. Corn should be planted from 4 to 8 Inches below the level and laid by Irom 4 to.6 inches above. He advNes only a few acres tried on this plan the first year, until one learn* how. In 1904 his hills wore 11 inches apart, in 1905 they wore 18. The pea vines, eon stalks ite. lelt ,on each aero are worth in fertilizing vain® from 10 to $12, In 1901, tho banner cotton year, the county producing the largest quantity of cotton was J£lli* county, Texas, which produced 125,844 bales. The next largest yield by any county was 87,991 bales; and that was by Orange burg county, South Carolina. Bolivar enmity, Mississippi, came third, with 82,123 bulbs.
