The ridge, atd the bslance brosdeas'. His
ridges we're iprr and y half feet spart. and
immediaiely after The planting n his cane
be planted his corn on the cane ridges. by
liberal mtpnriog the corn IL forced into
early gro 9Th aud eprly maturity, being
the Adams Early variety. and by tho lime
HE cane wes sbont three feet high he bad
gathered q crop OF oorn vslued u about
$40 per acre, which remuperated him for
the large amount III fertilizer used. IL
does not change the result that Mr. Dono-
van has been the lucky receiver OF the
$1,000 premium SGT apart by the Manager
OF the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company
for the best crop OF zane on ten acres,
along the line OF their track, but snch
stimulsnts will help to develop our re.
sources wonderfully.
Another experiment made by an intel
ligent ~neighbor OF mine. Mr.. Fl. Conner,
at Fernlsnd, Mobile County. Ala, shows
MS the following result: Two acres Of
ground we're MANFRED with rongh stable
manure, one small cart load of it used TO
a row or acre in length. Some ridges
we're only mannred with last years bar
grass, The sugar CAM stock after the juice
has been pressed out.l The planting was
dooe on ridges four feet apart. A part OF
the crop measuring in the field two hun
dred and ninety-ive by twenty eight feet,
was gathered and covered into syrup,
which yielded eighty five gallons, or On
averrge of four hundred and fifty three
gallons per acre. The total product OF the
two acres was fifteen barrels OF forty-tvo
gallons, or Fix hundred and thirty gallons
of syrup. The falling off from his fl
trial was caused by temporary iudispts
ton OF the owner at the time of grinding,
which caused firing OF the cine in the pile
aud consequent severe loss in product. II
we add to the above proceeds seven thou
sand seed canes reserved from the two
acres for planting, valued at least at SIS
per thousand in the field, we may safely
that an average OF fonr hundred gal
Ions of syrup per acre conld be taken as a
normal crop. A ready sale of syrnp from
sixty to seventy five cents per gallon, will
give to the farmer a return for his labor
md ingenuity never dreamt Of before. and
as yet by but a few. For the use
Of those who should doubt the v~eracity OF
the above statements, 1 give the p~ostofice
OF the parties, who have ensravsn
their names as ~benefactors to their neigh.
borhood by their valuable experiments.
