this street is so bad that the fire de-

attempt to use it in case of fire in
that section of the city for fear OF
demolishing the fire apparatus and

southern Corn GrOW1ng-lne Will
hanson Method"
Mr.. E. M. Williamson of South
Carolina, writes to the American Ag-
riculturist of his method of growing
corn. This has been the weakest point
in southern farming. His plan is
new, yet it may be better than the
old way. The only way to decide the
matter is to test it in actual practice,
on a small scale, by the side of thor
ough cultivation. The article is as
follows:
For number of years after I be-
gan to farm, I fo1lwed the o1d-time
method of putting the fertilizer all
under the corn, planting on a level
or higher, 6 to feet, pushing the
plant from the start and making a big
stalk, but the ears were few and fire.
quently small. I planted much corn
in the spring, and bought much more
corn the next spring, until finally I
was driven to the conclusion that corn
could not be made on up1ands in this
section, certainly not by the old meth
cd, except at a loss.
| did not give up, however, for [
knew that the farmer who did not
make his own corn never had succeed
ed, and never would, so I began to ex-
pertinent. First, I planted lower, and
the yield was better, but the stalk was
still too large, so I discontinued alto
gether the application Of fertilizer be-
fore planting, and knowing that all
crops should be fortified at some
time, I used mixed fertilizer as a side
application and applied the more solu-
bic nitrate Of soda later, being guided
in this by the excellent results OBJ
tanned from it's use as a top dressing
for oats. Still the yield, thugh regu-
lar, was not large, and the smallness
Of the stalk itself now suggested that
they should be planted thicker in the
drill 3ua "
That was done the next year, with
results SO satisfactory that continued
from year to year to increase the
number of stalks and the fertilizer,
with which to sustain them, also to ap-
ply nitrate of soda at last blowing,
and to lay by early, sowing peas broad
cast. This method steadily increased
the yield, until year before last, with
corn II inches apart in 6-foot rows,
and SII worth of fertilizer to the
acre, several of my best acres made
as much as IFS bushels
Last year [ followed up the same
method, planting the first week in
April 70 acres, which had produced
the year before 1000 pounds seed cot
ton per acre This land is sandy up
land, somewhat rolling. Seasons were
very unfavorable, owing to the ire
mendous rains in May, and the dry
and extremely hot weather later.
From June II to July II, the time
when it most needed moisture, there
was only So inches of rainfall here,
yet with $7.oI cost of fertilizer, my
yield was 81 bushels per acre. Rows

PECAN CULTURE PROFITABLE.
4. Has Most Promising Future.

1t promising industry. Bel1eV1ng
however, that it will be difficult to
learn too much about the art of grow
ing pecans, we this week copy an ar
ticle from the Tribune Farmer, writ
ten by-Prof. John Craig, of Cornell
University:
1t is astonishing how few people
there are who know what pecan
nut is, and still more surprising to
realize that there are very few who
recognize differences in quality or
varieties, and who really know that
there is nearly as much difference in
the flavor of pecans as there is in the
flavor Of different varieties of apples.
The wild seedlings may be thick
shelled, bitter and astringent, whereas
the cultivated forms are thin-she1led,
rich, and delicate in flavor and tex
ture. For many years the markets
consumed considerable quantities of
the seeding nuts of Florida, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Texas and other re-
gions where the pecan is indigenous.
These nuts range from good to very
Indifferent and poor They all pre-
sent the same polished brown exter-
ior in the grocer's window, but vary
greatly in the quality of their meaty
contents.
The United States is good deal of
nut eating country. Something over
100000 worth Of nuts are imported
annually. On the other hand, we only
export about 100000 worth. This ex-
port quantity is largely made up of
English walnuts grown on the Pacific
Coast, and perhaps few pecans from
the South 1t is interesting to note
that as the pecan has become known
in the East its consumption has in
creased, and with increasing consump-
ton have come also higher prices
Less than ten years ago ordinary nuts
could be bought for 5 or 6 cents
pound. These nuts, which were then
used by nurserymen for growing seed
ling stocks, now bring from to II
cents a pound. There is still great
er advance in the price of the really
: edible varieties Where formerly they
were sold for 10 cents, they now bring
20 and 80 cents, while the propagated
varieties sell up to so and 60 cents,
when private and personal trade is
established. There is no question at
all that the pecan is one of the com
ing nuts, and is bound to be leader
among the orchard fruits of the flu
ture.
AS fruit it possesses the important
quality of being non-perishab1e within
reasonable limits. Cold storage is not
factor, and transportation facilities
are of relatively small Importance.
This tree, which belongs to the
walnut family and is known technical
~ by the name Of Carya olivaeformis,
or, more lately, Nicoria pecan has
quite wide distribution in the Unit
ed States. Naturally, it is distributed
more abundantly on the rich, alluvial
bottoms Of the streams than on the
higher lands Roughly speaking, we
may say that it occupies practically
the same area as the cotton plant, al
though it can be grown further north.
When growing in the open it makes

is IN the form Of catk1n, while the
pistillate flower is an inconspicuous
floral organ, which finally develops
the nut with its four-valved covering
or husk. The pecan depends upon
the wind to set its flowers. The pol
len is scattered and drifted and car
ried by the wind, and nature does the
rest. Unfavorab1e pollination periods,
then, may lessen the set of the fruit,
but, aside from this, the weak points
are remarkably few
AS intimated in an earlier part of
this paper, the nuts vary greatly in
size. Some Of them weigh as much as
an ounce, while others weigh less than
an eighth of an ounce. Then there is
an extraordinary difference in the
thickness of the shell, the improved
varieties being veritab1e "paper
shells"
Propagation at the present time
differs little from the method prac-
tlsed in propagating stone fruits.
Seedlings are grown from cheap nuts,
and these are grated or budded. Diff
ferent growers have their preference
in regard to methods of propagation
One man who practises cleft grating
says that this is the method for him.
while another man who is AN adept
at whip grating c1ings to this method,
while another says that patch or ring
budding, which means the transfer
of strip of bark from the scion with
the bud to the stock, is the only. plan
worth practising
A good deal of top working is now
going on where seeding trees of sat-
lsfactory vigor but Of poor quality of
fruit are grown. These, with care and
good judgment may be changed over
to profitable varieties, and this work
is being done by some of the ski11ful
propagators of Georgia and Florida.
The pecan is, as noted above,
large growing, long lived tree. It
needs therefore plenty of space in the
orchard Growers are now setting
them at forty to fifty feet apart. IF
one sets forty by forty, twenty-seven
trees to the acre are required. Forty
by forty-fve calls for twenty-four
trees. while fifty by fifty requires on
ly seventeen trees to the acre.
The reader will ask, How soon do
they come into bearing? How long
must man wait for his investment
to begin to yield a dividend? Well,
this is not altogether difficult CUES
ton to answer, although results will
vary in different parts of the country
1t may be said that in general the
pecan orchard will bear as early as
an apple orchard and remain in bear
ing twice as long. Plants as far apart
as has been suggested gives oppor-
tun1ty for utilizing the ground with
other crops during the unproductive
period. Some of the best growers in
Florida and Georgia are planting
peaches between their pecans, and
then tor the first two or three wears
growing cotton in the interspaces.
This method is all right if it is prose-
cuted with good judgment and skill.
but there is danger of over-workiug
the ground, and some danger of in
Jurlously crowding the pecans.
Among the varieties now generally

drill.
With this method, on land that will
ordinarily produce 1000 pounds of
seed cotton with 300 pounds of fer
ti1izer, so bushels of corn should be
made per acre by using 200 pounds of
seed meal, 200 pounds of acid phos
plate, and 400 pounds of kainit mixed,
or their equivalent in other fertilizer,
and IFS pounds of nitrate of soda, all
to be used as side application as di-
rected below.
On land that will make II bales
of cotton per acre when we'll fer
tilted, 100 bushels of corn should be
produced by doubling the amount of
fertilizer above, except that 900
pounds of nitrate of soda should be
used.
In each case, there should be left
on the land in cornstalks, peas, vines
and roots, from $I2 to $40 worth of
fertilizing material per acre, besides
the great benefit to the land from so
large an amount of vegetable matter.
The place Of this in the permanent i'm
provement of land can never be taken
by commercial fertilizer for it is abso-
lutely impossible to make lands rich
so long as they are lacking in vege-
table matter
Land should be thoroughly and
deeply broken for corn, and this is
the time in a system of rotation to
deepen the soil Cotton requires a
more compact soil than corn, and
while deep soil is essential to it's
best development, it will not produce
as we'll on loose, open land, while
corn does best on land thoroughly
broken. A deep soil will not only
produce more heavily than shallow
soil with good seasons, but it will
stand more wet, as we'll as more dry
weather.
In preparing for the corn crop, land
should be broken broadcast during
the winter, one-fourth deeper than it
has been plowed before, or if much
more vegetable matter is being turned
under it may be broken one-third
deeper. This is as much deepening as
land will usually stand in one year
and produce well, though it may be
continued each year so long as much
dead vegetable matter is being turned
under
