Capt. Drake's Corn Record.
Capt. Drake was the world's chain
pion corin grower. His record, made
In 1889, in a corn growing contest
contest conducted by the American
Agriculturelst aid open to the world,
still stands. The "Book of Corn" thus
describes Capt. Drake's achievement:
"From a single ac'e Mr. Drake grew
255 bushels of shellcd corn or 230
bushels of crib-cured corn. Late in
February 1,000 bushels , of stable
manure and 500 pounds of ianipu
lated guano, cotton seed ieal and
kalnit were broadcasted on Ihe acre
and then ploughed under. Following
the plough 600 bushels of whole cot
tol seed were strewn in the In rrows.
A subsoil llough was run through a
depth o ftwelve inches. The land was
well harrowed and the rows plaintled
alternately March 2 three and six feet
apart. An iml)rove(l strain of the comn
mon ground variety of Southern white
dent corn was planted, five or six ker
nels being dropped to each foot of the
row. It was planted in the rows five
inches deep, but covered only one
inch. At the ilrst hoeing the plants
were thinned to one stalk. every fIve
or six inches, the missing spots re
planted. On April 20 the six-foot
spaces were ploughed and a mixtie
composed of 200 pounds each of guano.
kainit, cotton seed meal, acid phos
phate and bone was applied and hoed
in. On May 15 the three-foot spaces
were ploughed, 300 pouids of nitrate
of soda sown and worked In. On
May 25 200 pounds of guano were ap
plied in the wide spaces. Another ap
plication of 500 pounds of giano, vot
ton seedi meal and kanilt was put1 on
June 8, and 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda June It. The crop was harvest
ed November 25, before several repu
table witnesses. It yielded 17,107
pounds of corn in the ear, or wvhich
'40 pounds was soft (orin. Several
tests showed that 100 pounds of earp
corn yielded 82 pounds of shelled orn.
which made the yield 25.1 hushels, .19
pounds of sheleld corn at :',I; pouids
to the bushel, wieli, k iin-dried, to
contain only 10 per ceut of' water,
would contain 2:!) bushels."
To this Col. Watson's llandbook of
South Carolina adds: '('apt I)rahe's
cr'op contaied 82 ie. 1t) oI VheLled
corn, had 85 per' cent of dry mattfer
in the corn and 87 per cent of' dr(y
matter In the cob. TIhe green weight
in bushels9 of' shelled corn was 255
bushels, the crib-cu red weight. wasi
239 bushels anad the chienmicallIy died
weight 217 bushels. The total ex
plenses were $264 and t he value( of th1e
u nex hausted manur'e $1 58. Thie noi t
expenses, pe~r bushnel, amounted to'I (
