It is a very Btrotig case against the Williamson plan that is presented by The Progressive Farmer. There Is no doubl thai the Williamson plan will produce more corn, it Beems, but the expense for fertilizing is so great that the profit is not Increased. And a hi? crop is no better than a small crop i! the profit be the same The question, says tin* Progressive Partner, Is would not the sann' amount af fertilizer make as much or more coi n if cultivated by ordinary methods instead of the Williamson method? This question the Progressive Farmer endeavors to answer by tin* results of actual tests, made side by side. Ol Hie new and old methods. The tests cited are as follows: 'I he first BUCh test we heard of was made by Mr. J. C. Strlbling, Pendle ton. S. ('. Mr. Strlbling is one q| the !>est farmers in the stat and his trial showed a loss of six bushels per acte by following the Williamson plan I b !0 in pa red With the same amount Of fertilizer and the ordinary plan of t ni;Ivatlon. Next came the Alabama station tests for I90C. Result: one bushel more per aero by Williamson plan. Then came the South Carolina ex periment station tests for 1007, the mosi exhaustive, searching and thor oughgoing over made, the results be ing as follows: t'l In it test of nineteen different plots under all soi ts of conditions ami experiments, the average yield per ..ce on Williamson plan plots was 4.28 bushels less than oil other plots. (2) A variety test was made with a number Of different kinds of corn, and the result here was that tiro Wil liamson plan plots averaged t).t> bush els less per acre than ordinary CUl. i Ivntion. (.") A test was made using -ten pounds of fertilizer with ordinary cul tlvation and 1,425 pounds with the Williamson plan. The result here was Hint the increased yield by the extra fertilizer was only fj.tjH bushels per acre?-?">?"> per cent, increase In fertil ize! expense ami only ;17."> per cent, increase in corn yiotd. i ?!) Going further.a test was made -?Ii another kind of land a worn-out Held. Using no fertilizer in either :ase, the ordinary plan made one-tlftll bushel more than the Williamson plan; using 900 pounds of fertilizer jn each case, the ordinary plan made 4.fi bushels more per acre than the Williamson plan. r ? xt in order to be absolutely fair. Jot us give the Charleston station t.iists. 1907, Here the experiments were not properly made for compari son, as the Williamson plan had II, oila stalks per acre ami the ordinary plan 2.-I?0, The results showed that it took 158 Williamson stalks to make a bushel and only ill ordinary stalks 1.0 make a bushel, but the corn being so thinly planted on the ordinary plot caused the yield to be twenty-nine bushels greater for Williamson plan. Fifthly we have the Alabama sta tion tests. I!UI7. concerning Which 1)1 rector Dllggar writes as follows: "The Williamson plait in its pure ami original form made a much smaller yield than was made through an equal application of fertilizer by the com mon method. Indeed, every varia tion from the Williamson method af forded a larger yield than did the Williamson method Itself." The sixth ami lasts tests to COlUC to our attention are those reported by Mr. w. u. 101 Holt, demonstration tigont, Winnsboro. S. C. in this week's Progressive Farmer, these being as follows: (!) I). Ii, Stevenson lest. IPOS; Wil liamson plan, "7 bushels per acre; Knapp plan. Mi bushels. Loss by Williamson plan, three bushels, CO I-'. It, McMoekln ,\ IJro. test, I00S; Williamson plan. 30 bushels: Knapp plan. 3fj bushels Loss by Williamson plan, live bushels. WHY NOT TRY THIS?

Mr. Williamson may have the satisfaction of knowing he has boon instrumental in arousing among the farmers of the South a re newed Interest in the cultivation of corn, the effect of which is bound to be beneficial. Whether by the new method or the obi. the farmers of the South should, ami can. raise enough corn for their own use. ami raise it at a profit. Columbia Record, TIIK I'.11 KYI KW STOCK SHOW.
