of corn, the yield of which is variously esti-
mated at from thirty to fifty bushels per
acre. The yield per acre of the Cheatham
cotton is estimated at from three to five
thousand pounds of seed cotton. These are
examples of progressive farming which our
people would do well to initiate. Good
seed, thorough cultivation, and a liberal use
OF fertilizers is the secret of their success.
