WALHALLA, March 8. — Paul Smith, of Madison, Oconee County' who won second prize in the Pied mont district of the State-wide five-acre com contest conducted by the Clemson College extension ser vice with a yield of 025.61 bushels bn his five-acre plot, an average of 125.12 bushels per acre, believes that a wind storm cut his yield several bushels per acre. He had left a total of approximately 20,000 stalks on his plot and had planned for a yield of 150 bushels per acre. The storm blew down his corn pret ty badly, he says. Mr. Smith believes that proper spacing is essential in producing high yields. Next in importance, he thinks, is feeding the corn with quick acting nitrogen : n sufficient amounts to mature the crop on the land. He thinks that the nitrogen which he used on his plot helped tc keep the corn green through c drought and carried it through the drought with a minimum of dam age. . . Planting Everett’s champion pro lific corn, Mr. Smith fertilized with 400 pounds per acre of 11-2-10 fertilizer at planting. He applied ! a total of 400 pounds of Chilean ! nitrate of soda and 30 pounds of i manure salts per acre as a side- ! dressing, put down in three appli- ! cations about 10 days apart, the j last being made when the corn was about waist high. The width of the rows in the plot was about 42 inches and he left an , average of three stalks for every two feet in the drill. ! Mr. Smith says he figures that he realized a handsome profit on his project. -1XX- Bethany H. D. Club Holds Meeting The Bethany H. D.
