MAKING LAND PRODUCE CORN
A South Carolina Farmer Gets
POL 1-2 Bushels of Corn OF An
Acre of Ground.

Right in this connection we want to
tell our readers how Mr. John D. Sulli-
van, of Honea Path, South Carolina,
made 201H bushels of corn upon an
acre; and had seven acres nearly as
good. We do not want our readers to
get their heart set upon the maximum
yield in cotton alone, but set upon the
maximum of all the staple crops, cot
ton, corn and grain; then we will be
farmers worthy of the name. For our
part it gave us more pleasure to set
our feet upon the acre that had pro-
duced 200 bushels of corn, than upon
the one that had produced the three
bales of cotton. For the simple rea-
son, that if we will follow Mr.. Sulli-
vans example in raising such yield
Of corn, it will mean more for the
genuine prosperity of the south. When
we have raised our 200 bushels of corn,
our three bales of cotton is much near
er clear money and can go to buy this
real comforts that will make our hons
life upon the farm all that it ought to
be. Now for the corn growing. The
acre was one of seven-acre branch
bottom; good land Of course, but not
extra until it was made SO by the labor
and manure put upon it by Mr.. Sulli-
van. This land was turned deep i9 the
fall with a two-horse Chattanooga disc
plow, then followed with bull.tongue
as deep as mule could pull ii, twice,
cross plowing it. Then twas broad
casted with stable manure and har-
rowed in with Torrent harrow. In
the spring the rows were laid off four
feet with two-horse plow. and mixture
of $50 pounds of acid, meal and kainit
were drilled III this furrow, which was
mixed with the soil by running bull.
tongue in the bottom of the furroW.
The corn was then planted with a
corn-planter. When this corn came
up it was first run over with weeder.
The second time it was plowed with a
short sweep and bull-tongue, and
hoed to the stand, leaving one or two
stalks every twelve inches. Third and
fourth time plowed with larger sweep
and layed by. The variety of corn
planted was the Albermarle Prolific,
and while the cob and ears are small
you certainly have the number of them.
while the stalks stood SO thick many
had from three to five ears, and all av-
eraged two good ears to the stalk.
Here we have the same lessons of deep
and thorough preparation, high manur-
ing and rapid cultivation The seasons,
have to be propitious for this maxi
mum yield, bnt the seasons, which are
God operating, never help a man who
has not first done the right kind of
work; and the rigns kind of work al
ways pays, no matter what kind of sea-
sons we have, though of course it pays
best with good seasons.-southern Gull
