Jerry Mooro of Florence county, the champion corn grower *?r tue world, has written n story of how he pro duced over 22s bushels of corn on one acre of land. The yield Is sub stantiated h.v affidavits. Ho made a ; profit of $30.70 on the aero, it cos! j him $128.0*5 to secure the yield. The story gives u complete description land full accounts of the care of the corn. He Is a member of the boys' j corn dub and was under the direction 'of the United states farm demonstra tion work and A. H. Gasque, county ; superintendent of education of Flor, ence county. In a clear manner Jerry Moore t II the following story. Light gray, sandy upland; top soil about three or lour Inches deep, with yellow subsoil. Old laud nearly level, with just enough for the water to run off. Cotton was grown on the land In 1900. producing about 1,200 pounds of seed cotton. Preparation, During the first of .March. 1010 spread 300 one-horse wngotlloads of rich dirt on this acre. Followed this with f><) one-horse wagonlonds of sta ble manure scattered broadcast. On March 25, land was broken with Dixie plows. One l)ixir> following the furrow of the other, and with the two breaking about 10 or 12 inches deep. The soil was so well pulverized did not harrow; rebrokc like it was first time. March JO. harrowed and laid o'ff in rows three and on -i all feet wide, with Dixie plows. Distributed 500 pounds of guano containing 8 per cent, of phosphoric r.cid, per cent, of ammonia and 3 per cent, potash in Dixie furrow and covered with fur rows making a small ridge. March 30, open ridge with shovel plow and dropped three gallons of Date's Four-Ear prolific corn, drop ping by band and almost sewing, Cov ered corn with small Bbovel plow 2 1-2 inches deep. Fertilizer. Oil the same day sowed son pounds of acid phosphate on rows and har rowed surfi.ee all over, leaving it lev el. No lain since land wr.s broken and ground so dry and dusty corn did not come up readily. Replanted for fear I would not ?et a stand. stand good by April-20. April 20, weather continues dry. April 21. good rain. April 25, sowed 700 pounds kainit along rows and harrowed with Little ?Joe harrow and going twice to the row, Barred off with Dixie plow. May i made a mixture of ?'?"?i pounds of cotton Bced meal, "J"" pounds of acid phosphate anil 200 pounds ol kainit. and with a cold dis tributor sowed on each side of the rows, but four inches farther from the corn than the other application, and barro'.vcd with Little Joe harrow, go ing twice in the row. Also sowed 200 pound:- of nitrate of aodn along the rows. May it. harrowed, going twice to the row. thinned corn to six inches in row. May 24, harrowed, going twice to the row. June ?'? and 0, good rains. Juno 8, sowed 300 pounds of nitrate of soda ami harrowed twice to the row. Froqueal showers and corn growing rapidly. June 10, storm and coi n blown down .June ii, sci corn Up; corn about six feet high and beginning to silk. June 15, harowod very lightly with Little .IOC harrow, going twice to the row. June j.*. harrowed lightly; corn now in full silk: ground perfectly clean. Since June ?">. rains have been fre quent. Corn doing its best. No Sign of firing or failure of any kind. July 4, no lack of rain so far and corn almost matured. Almost every stalk has an car and many of them i?u or three. There Is on the acre about 24,000 stalks and more than 110,000 cars. Gathered fodder middle Of August . Corn at this time very ripe. tinthered Fodder, Gathered off the acre, L200 b?ndle? of fodder. Weighing 3,000 pounds worth |30. Corn Gathered. Five men?J. M.

The corn was weighed In the shucks and weighed 16,388 pounds, They took 200 pounds of corn from the acre, at sundown, shucked am: shelled nnd get 165 pounds of shelled corn and 45 pounds of cobs nnd shucks. This shows 77 1.2 per cent, of corn and 22 1-2 per cent, of cobs and shucks. Tills percentage makes a yield of 228 3-4 bushels. ' VulllO of Crop.

"The stable manure used was very trashy (muoh straw in it I and not1 worth more than 50 cents a load. As the dirt has no commercial value 1 did not count it in the list of ex penses and the land has been lm-. proved at least $50.00 by the dirt and stable manure. What ! have done has been more of an experiment than do-' lug what I knew to be wise. About October 1st. Mr. Williams, agent for the State: Mr. Willis, coun ty agent and Mr, Casque, county su perintendent of education, visited me. To them I am under obligations for helpful instruction and I greatly ap preciate the interest they have shown in my little enterprise. Moping to do better In the future. I am. yours truly. "Jerry Ii. .Moore." .lorry II. Moore. Is the champion corn grower of South Carolina and of tlie world. He is I" years of age ami has pro duced L'L's bushels and :'. pecks of corn on one acre of land. This is next to the highest yield of corn ever produced and is only ex ceeded by the Drake yield of 255 bushels. Jerry Moore is the son of a minis ter, and the great yield was seemed on the parsonage land. This announcement was made by Ira W, Williams, state agent of the United states farm demonstration work Young Moore is a member Of the Florence county Boys' Com club, lie will win a number of prizes in the county and state contests and at the South Atlantic States Corn exposi tion which is to be held in Columbia from December 5 to S. Some time ago It was reported j thai a boy In Marlboro county bad produced 258 bushels. This record' was investigated by Ira YV. Williams1 and he found that there was a mis take in measuring the corn. Tiie boy only produced 17!? bushels, which is far below the record of Jerry Moore. The following announcement was' made by Ira W. Williams: 'Alter Carefully investigating and' having the corn measured of the re ported 258 bushels per acre, I find thai the world's record has not boon broken, that the boy will be second so far as the reports now aland in the yield from the boys' corn clubs in the Slate. I will say however, that there was no intention on the part of the boys or the committee or the people of Marlboro county to give out, any statement that was not absolutely accurate, as all of them were anxious that the facts be known. Tin? mistake occurred In the method or measuring the corn. We do not accept any measurements in regard to the great est yield in the state except the ab solute weight of the corn. I think, however, that this production is the most remarkable in the history oi the State's corn production. It Is certainly more remarkable than the Drake yield, if the reports as to how the Drake yield was made are true; for. in cost of production, it is by far the least for the large yields produc ed and the methods ?>?? such thai any man could follow and expect the most profitable results. "There were several boys from this neighborhood in the contest. This boy la an orphan boy. his father hav ing died when he was small. He has two brothers about his age and size. He did not use but 2,400 pounds of commercial fertilizer and two loads of stable manure. "The spirit of this boy In regard to accurate measurement was the best I have ever seen."
