Estimates Furnished HOW COLLETON’S YOUNG FARMERS HADE THEIR BIG YIELDS OF CORN. - i Perhaps It will not oe uninterest ing to publish the histoiy of some of the acres of corn grown this year by the members of the Boy’s corn club in Colleton county, as furnished by them and accompauying their ex hibits at the county fair. Just here it may b*' noted that there were com- paiatively few exhibits and only-a very few- t ketches of work done avail- hle for this purpose. The Press land Standard will be pleased to pub- i.sa any others if sent in by tha mem- hers. • i What these boys hive done may he duplicated, and will be suggestive to the olehu* farmers of the county. «l. Z. HarrifcOB, Jr. The largest yield was made by J. 7.. Harrison. Jr., of Smoaks. and was 122 bushels and 12 quarts. No his tory of his work was sent in by young Zach. but the following facts -.re gleaned from his report. This acre was planted on land which had been in corn the year be fore. and is described as being a san dy soil four inches deep. It has been planted 25 years. In October 1911 the land was broken to a depth of 14 laches, and at time of planting, whkh was M\r c h 27, the condition of the land is described as ’’good as could be.” The variety planted was Bait’s four-ear prolific and the rows were 3 feet 10 inches apart, and the corn was 12 inches in drill. Zach used 200 pounds of meal mixture, 400 pounds or potash and 400 pounds nitrate of soda. The rultlvatipn is giv<*n as follows “ran •vts another heavy ra:n. On the 28th of Mutch I planted' my corn with a drill La a deep tu:row run ojr an eight inch round point plow. The weather was warm and pleasant and stayed so until the 7th of April. Then there were two daya of- cool, weather. After tuts it turned s and on the 10th had light rain./Ott the 13th, there was a heavy rain and again on the 17th and 18th. / : On the 19th I rats a spring-tooth cultivator around the extra going twice to the row. Tae^e was rain on the 20th. 21st and a very heavy one on the 22nd. w.^h caused the corn to turn red. 'then there were no rains up to May «Ui. the weather being warm. April 30th I threw the dirt away from the corn with a half ahotpel plow. The next day i scattered 86 bushels of rotton seed in tMe far rows on each side of the corn. The furrows were about 10 inches from the torn. I covered the seed by sid ing the corn with s 14-inch sweep. As soon as the seed beg^u ;o sprout, I threw two furrow's ou them with a shovel plow and then the corn be gan to improve. Hau very heavy rains on the 6th and 7th. The weath er was very hot up to the 12th. There were thunder-showers on the 12th with light hail and then ihe.weather turned very cool and windy until the 21st. This caused the corn to stop growing. On the 20th i sided it with a 20- inch sweep. There were showers on 2<)th, I’W and 22nd. These / side with small plow to cut roots to ■ * lor o'°.^u. .i green and to stunt it; 4 times with different 1 S - *" vv ' eat her wj plows.” The same r.cre would have produced 10 bushels under ordinary cultivation.

The sere on which I made mv • lear and . hot. There v ere heavy rains on the 27th and 28th. On the •list 1 ran the middies out,with a 20-inch sweep going oae lurrow to each middle. The weaiaer was still very hot. June 2nd, we had a light rain. The corn'was then about waist high and had a very pretty color. On the 6th I sided the corn with a 20- imh sweep. Just as I finished plow ing it. we had a ver> ueavy, rain and another on the next day. Then there was a spell of cool, windy weather. On June 8th. 1 put A050 pounds of fertilizers arouna my corn. This was a mixture of 400 pounds 16 por cent acid, 300 pounds meal, 200 pqunda nitrate of soda, and 160 pounds mural* potash and then ran out the middies with a 20-inch swoop going two furrows vto the middle. During the week after,the rains ou Ihe 6th and 7th, there were verv cojP winds blowing from the Northeast. These caused the corn to turn red and stop growing. Then the next week there were hot winds blowing from the southwest, which caused ihe torn to lire. The weather was veiy hot and had a lign: ram on the 20th. The land go. very dry and the corn burnt badiy. On account of the hot dry winds, tue fertil.sers lid not seem to take any effect until 20 inches deep. On the 18th of Feb ruary. I broke my land with a two- horse turn plow, about 7 inches deep Then cut it on the 25th of March with a disc harrow. The rows were laid off 4 feet and 10 Inches apart and th<* corn was planted in a fur row below the level about 10 inch es apart in the drill, on the 2nd of April. After the corn was up‘about a week, some very heavy rains fell. All the rest of the month, the land kept so wet that I could not work the corn, until the first of May. Then I took a turnplow and barred off the dirt from the corn with two furrows After plowing, I worked the corn with a cultivator and flat sweep about every eight or ten days until I laid by. Hsd some more light showers until the 24th of May, on which day I manured my corn with- 200 pounds of 8 4-4, 200 pounds cotton seed meal 16 per cent acid, and 100 pounds kainit. which was put down on one •ide of the com and I ploughed the middles out dean with four furrows. The corn grew off very slowly un it the first of June on account of 'he land being too wet. Then it grew pretty until the 8th of June, on which we had some heavy rains fol lowed by a cold wind. Then 1 gave ihe corn another application of 700 pounds of the same kind of fertilizer Int I used before and also another v/orking which started it off to grow- <ng again. Then in about ten days I gave It another plowing and an ap plication of 100 pounds of NUrate of soda. Then we had some’light showers. About the 1st of July I laid my corn by, sowing about three perks A cowpeas in the middle of the rows and gave it another application of •<i pounds of nitrate of sods. The land got so dry that 1 did not get a good stand of peas. Just before the corn was matured, the blades began to rot. 1 did not know what.to do for it nor what was the - matter. A • >d deal of other corn in this neigh borhood was the same way. I made seventy-six bushels on my acre. « . ■ • dal value of crop $83.Go Lea* expenses 34.56 corn was a level, well drained piece of land with a dark loam soil about I the 23rd. when there "a's a niVe“ram the corn was shooting tnd began to tassel. There were light rains on July 2nd. Then the corn stopped burning and began to improve. 1 gave the corn thejast plowing this time with a 2f- inch sweep. I put tiiree furrows to the row, this time planting It In l*ea» . N The seasons were good up' to the 12th. Then there was a storm and a downpour of rain. Showers con tinued until the 16th. The corn look ed well then, but about the 20th, the fodder began to rot which damaged the corn \hxy much. Ernes: II. Polk, Izlandton, 8. C. SAVINGS OF FAMOUS MEN.
