I. Ground broken up in the previous fall is
better for corn than that broken up just pre-
vious to planting. Q Wheat does better
drilled IN the alleys of standing corn than
when the corn is cut off, the land broken up
and the wheat drilled as on other ground. 3.
The earlier in the season clover is broken up,
the better for the crop Of wheat or barley

seed

the exhibition they seized and carried off for
wives the Sabine maidens. This friendly

A Sosthcrn Corn Crop.

John Carmichael, of Habersham county,
Georgia, writes To- the COUhtry Gentleman: |
have recently seen an experiment in corn
planting which think may prove instructive
10 some OF my brother farmers of the south at
least One acre of land (rcd clay was taken
summer before last, after the wheat was cut
off, and sowG broad cast with Cow peas
When the vines had reached their growth
previous to Towering, sixty bushels OF slackcd
lime was applied to them. The whole was
then turned under with Il two horse plOw In
This state the lot remained until last spring,
when it was broken up and laid off 3l2 by
81 feet q think; the corn was planted, two
grains in "A check. 1t received the usual
cultivation of this seCtion--that is, three
plOwingS and two hOeings except that II was
not bcdded). The acre yielded 1851 bushels
by actual measurement. The seed used is
peculiar. TWAS selected by the gentleman
who made the experiment. several years ago
from volunteer stalk which had eleven ears
on it, all of which, however, did not come to
perfection. The yield from the stalk was five
poands of corn. This corn has become quite
celebrated and is one of the many proofs OF
the value of careful selection. This yield
IF 1881 bushels may not strike the northern
farmers as anything remarkable, but if they
will remember that our average Is only ten
bushels of corn per acre, they will at once
see the value of the foregoing to southern
agriculture One buShel OF peas will broad
cast the acre and costs 81; the lime, here
scattered, vii cost rifteen cents per bushcl
The lot is now in wheat, and its owner ex
poets it to produce twenty-five or thirty bush
els, which for this country will be a good
yield. The experiment will not cost much,
and | am sure will. repay any farmer. Glover
perhaps, will increase the yield OF both wheat
and corn. One acre of such land Is worth
more than eight cultivated as we generally
do
