Official Facts of Drake's Won?
derful Yield of Corn.
Tt e acre entered by Z J. Drake was
a sandy soil io Marlboro County, South
Carolina. The origiual growth was
oak, hickory and long leaf pine. Three
years ago, before the laud was im?
proved, eight dollars per acre was a fair
valuation, while thirty years ago, the
plantation of which this acre is an aver?
age specimen was called by its owner
.'Starvation's Empire.*' It had a gen?
tle slope, with northern exposure, and
was naturally well drained. The acre
was a fair specimen of much of the j
poor -.and of tbe South, and its improve?
ment and productiveness affords an
instructive lessoo. As late as 1S85,
wheo il was in corn, it made a poor
crop-practically nothing In 18S6
the acre yielded about three hundred
pouods of seed cotton, two dollars
worth of amrooniated fertilizers being
used in the way common to cotton cul?
ture. The fertility was so reduced
that ia 1887 the yield of corn was not
aver five bushels per acre. But now
Mr. Drake undertook to improve it. i
To provide the vegetable matter or (
humus go-much needed, the land was j
liberally covered with rakiogs of leaves,
straw, etc., from the neighboring
woods On top of this, twenty five
horse toads of stable manure were even?
ly spread broadcast ; also. 75 bushels of
cotton seed 500 pounds of Wilcox.
Gibbs & (Vs manipulated guano, 250
pounds cotton seed meal and 250
pounds kanit. The heavy dressing was
all Roughed under with Starke's Dixie
turning plough. It was laid off in rows
with the same plough, two furrows to
the ro*?, four feet apart : 100 pounds
of guano were applied in the furrows,
and t.'-en each pair of furrows were
thrown into a ridge with the same
plough. The Peterkin cotton was
planted with a Leytch cotton planter,
and tua.d.e the crop of 917 poutsds of
lint cotton on the acre, showing con?
clusively the result of the improvement
PREPARING FOR TUB BIGGEST CROP OX
RECORD.
Mr. Drake decided that this acre
was the one for him to enter in the
corn oonttst;t and be determined to
make the biggest crop on record, season
permitting. The last of February,
therefore, he hauled upon the contest
acre 50 one horse wagon loads of stable
manure, averaging 20 bushels to the
load, ot ?.OOO bushels of manure ia all.
worth ?50, to which should be added
$4 for hauling and spreading. This
was the droppings of hoses and mules i
fed on coro and fodder and was not
moved until hauled to the acre. At the
same time 5,000 pounds each of manip?
ulated guano, cotton seed meal and
kainit were also broadcasted, and the ;
whole was theo ploughed under .
Following the plough whole cotton ;
seed was liberally strewed io each fur- ?
row, 600 bushels being applied to the <
acre. A subsoil plough came after, ? !
breaking the soil to a total depth of i
12 inches and also burying the whole i
cotton se ed deeper than the other ma- ?
nure. Thus the decaying seed would '
back up the erop later io the reason, <
when tts roots had penetrated below the <
first laver of manure. One horse and i
a man did the plough-og, also the sub?
soiling : both jobs being completed in j
one day, (March 1 ) at a total expense j.
$2. The acre was harrowed on the
fame d%y with a Thomas smoothing
barrow, one man and two horses doing
the work ?a about one hour. The next
day. March 2. the acre was laid off with
the Stark plough in two furrows to the
row. followed by ?he subsoil plough in
each row. The rows were alternately
three and six feet apnrt-that is. there
were sis feet between two rows, theo
three feet, then six feet, and so on.
TBS VARIETY AND CT LT CEE
The seed plauted was one bushel of ? 1
the common gourd variety of the <
Southern white Dent corn, but it was a 1
strain ?hat had been improved by
twenty years of careful selection from
the best of corn grown on this planta- ?
tioo. The planting was done in half j
a day by f<?or hands, on March 2nd, (
the weather being war?i and the land j
moist. Five or six kernels were drop [
ped to each foot of the row. The 1
latter we^e five ioches deep, but the j
seed was only covered lightly an inch
deep by 'akuig in the side of the fur
row. Kain, the next day, washed iu '
more soil and cohered the seed rather
deeply. There were good rains March
10 and 1;>. the plants b^gan to ?now on
the 16th, and by the 25fh, there was a '
tolerably good stand. On April 8'h '
the crop was hoed for the first time,
thinned to * ne st>Ik ev; ry five or six
inches, a d the f-w misniog places re j
planted O'? the 20th the wide spaces
(??ix feet) between the alternate rows
were ploughed out with the subsoil ! ?
plough. Then a mixture composed of
200 pounds eae*? of manipulated guano, :
kainit. cotton seed meal, acid phosphate j
and anima! bone, was evenly applied J
by sowin g in ea;?h " furrow (rhos con- j
fining thU application of plant food to
tbe wide spice-; sf-er which the
whole a .e ws" gone ov?-r wirh a ;
Th'-mas barrow There was min on !
thc 24th, and two d*ys iaftr the crop j
was again horrow*;d with the Thomas ?
harrow Now, on May 15, the nar- j
row or three foot rows werf ploughed }
OU* with the subsoiler, aro! SOO pounds j
of nitrate of soda wa? sowed in these j
rows, and worked wiih a hand harrow 1
or cul'ivat'-r On the 2-r>?h, the Thomas '
harrow WMS ruo through ?he wide rows
to break the crust. It will be seen thar |
by this time the soil was not on!y well
filled with pla nt-food, bot had b^en
thoroughly cultivated on the surface,
asd also well worked uoderoea'h by the
subsoil pl >ogh. so that the whole soi!
was not only fall of fertility, bot W:JS
in that light and open condition thnt
beat facilitates root growth.
ROOT DEVELOPMENT.
To stimulate a still further root d*>- i
veloiment, especially in the wide space.?
btrtweee the alternate rows, where there j
wa? more room for this purpose, three
farrow* wre tun side by side, in the j
Oi'dd'e of the wide? row* with the sub- j
soil pl "igh ;.?id 2(l<> pounds of maoipu- i
la-ed guar o w;<s applied in these fur
' i
rows, the row? being then worktd by a
Thomas harrow The next d;jy there
was about an iti"h of rain, about six
?oches of rain fell four days h'er. and ;
OP June 2. tire Und w.?s I ghtly stirred I
with a hoe. A little ea* th w:is hoed to
t the corn, making the lam! about j
!.? el. Th^re wa*? more rain June 4th
and 5th and on the 8'h. three furrow?
wore again tunned in the m?dd!e of tin*
wide r>w*, this rime with ? 20-ioch |
Campbell sweep. Now 500 pounds of
a mixture composed of equal parts of
manipulated guano, cotton seed meal
and katnit was strewn in the wide space
and tbe corn on the entire field was
hoed. Raio came the next day, but on
June 11th, 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda was sowed in the narrow rows and
hoed in.
TUE WONDERS OF THE CROP.
The crop was now a wonderful sight,
lt soon became necessary to put up
posts and nail slats to them, on both
sides of each row, to prevent the corn
falling. No hilling was done, but the
whole acre was kept perfectly level.
Arrangements for irrigating had been
made, but the season was early and
wet. as compared with other years; rain
falling frequently and no irrigation was
necessary. In fact, as Mr. Drake says,
"the season was the most favorable for
corn I ever saw." The fame of the j
contest acre spread far and wide, and
farmers aod plauters came from ail
parts of Marlboro and adjoining coun
ties to behold it. P. L. Breeden, a
great cotton planter, and one of the
most progressive farmers io the State,
says it was ' a wooder to behold." S
A. Brown, editor of the Marlboro
Democrat, writes : **The harvest was
indeed a curiosity. One laborer told j
us that the coro, when pulled, was
knee deep on the ground The yield
was not much of a surprise to those
who visited the crop while growing,
and some Marion fanners put the esti?
mate at SOO bushels."
THE HARVEST A2HJ> ITS CORRECTNESS.
The acre was suiveyed June 29th,
by Wm. B. Alford, a legal surveyor,
and also a trial justice, who takes oath
that the plot, was measured by an
accurate Gunter's chain, and was
296 48 147 feet long and 147 feet wide,
containing 43.560 feet, or precisely one
acre. The boundaries were marked by
stakes firmly driven in the ground,
but this precaution was hardly neces?
sary as no other corn was grown in
the vicinity, the acre standing alone by
itself. The harvesting was done in
the preseuce of a large number of
gentlemen-representative farmers
including J. C. Campbell, as the
official representative of the American
Agriculturist. Mr. Campbell supervised
the whole affair. IQ addition to all
these preaautions, the number and
character of the witnesses made any
cheating impossible, had it been thought
of, and the fact that no other corn
grew :n the neighborhood rendered
impossible the addition of any grown
outside the contest acre Mr. Drake
and his witnesses certified before Justice
Alford that the crop a? harvested
November 25, was 17.407 pounds of
corn in the ear. of which 140 pounds
was soft or poor corn. Each witness
selected from different parts of the
field an average lot of ears, and from
100 pounds of ears so gathered Mr.
Tart obtained 80? pounds of kernels
and 19i pounds of cobs. Mr Reynolds
i)btaioed 82 pounds of kernels and 18
pounds of cobs, and Mr. Dunn got 83?
pounds of kernels and 16J- pounds ot
cobs. Averaging these tests shows that
82 per cent of the total crop was ker
aels, or 14 273 pounds of shelled com
?qual to 254 bushels, 49 pounds of
shelled corn at 56 pounds to the bushel.
This if kiln-dried until it contained
DH ly 10 per cent, of water, would
?hrink to 239 bushels, and if the water '
is all allowed for, the crop would be
217 bushels of actual dry matter in the
?helled corn grown on one acre.

There is Dot much doubt of the pas?
sage of the bill to refund the direct Und
tax to the States which paid it, for the
principal reason that a very large pro?
portion of the $17,000,000 paid out of
the g20.000.000 levied will go to the
Northern States. If the bill should
not be passed, however, the next move
would be to enforce the collection in
those States where it had not been paid,
which would take about $3,000,000
out of the South. As a matter of pol?
icy, leaving out of consideration the
question of the constitutional power to
refund the tax, in which there seems to
be a difference of opinion, it is better
for the Southern States, which have
not paid the tax, that this ?17,000,000
should be refunded than that they
should be called upon to pay the unpsii
?3.000,000. The tax was collected in
1806 io about one-third of the counties
of North Carolina when the collection
was suspended by order of President
Johnson- Wilmington Star.

Col. R \V. Simpson and Capt. D
Iv. Norris returned last Thursday from
Starkeville, Miss., where they had gone
as a committee from the trustees of the
Clemson College to investigate the
workings of the Mississippi Agricultural
College. Col. R. E Bowen, of Pick
ens, was also one of the committee, but
he returned home ahead of the others.
Colonel Simpson informs us that be
made a thorough examination, and
found the system of training more thor?
ough and of greater value than he had
anticipated, and he is more strongly
impressed even than he was before of
the necessity of such a college in our
State. The visit of the committee will
oe of great advantage to the trustees in
organizing the Clemson College.-An
