CORN RAISING. PLAN.
Brief Presentation Of the William
l# son Plan" by Mr.. Rice.

The "Williamson plan' of raising
corn has during the last few months
received many favorable comments
and the farmers in many sections of
the State are adopting the plan de-
! vised by Mr.. Il. McIver Williamson, of
Darlington. The method is said to
work wonders in the way Of increas-
ing the output of corn per acre and
promises to some extent to revolution
ize South Carolina.
A condensed formula of the method
has been prepared by Mr.. James He'll
ry Rice, Jr., the we'll known writer
and it is as follows:
Break land in winter one-fourth
deeper than common; lay off in six
foot rows, leaving five-inch balk.
When time to plant break out balk
with scooter, following in same fur
row Oh this ridge. Ridge then with
same plow, going deeper; run corn
planter with Dixie plow, with wing
taken off. Plant rs early as possible,
usually about the middle Of March.
Drop corn grains every five or six
inches. Use no fertilizer. Give first
working with harrow or any plow
that will not cover plant. Second
working with 10 or l2-inch sweep on
both sides Of plant. Thin after this
working
Corn should not be worked again
until sufficiently stuntcd, so that it
will never grow large. When it is
about 10 to II inches high put on
fertilizer. Mix 200 pounds cotton
seed meal, 200 pounds acid phosphate,
400 pounds kainit. Put half in old
sweep furrow, on both sides Of every
other middle. Cover by breaking out
middle with turn plow. One week
later treat, the other middle in the
same way, fertilizer and all. In a
few days side can in first middle
with l6-inch sweep. Put all your
nitrate Of soda in this furrow, if less
than $50 pounds is used; if more, put
half. Cover with one furrow or turn
plow, then SOW peas in middle broad
cast, at rate Of bushel to the acre,
and finish breaking out. Lay by early
More corn is ruined by late blowing
than by lack of plowing. No hoeine
is necessary and middle may be kept
clean until time to break out by har-
rowing.
For so bushels to the acre leave
stalks 16 inches apart; for rs bushels,
II inches; for 100 bushels, 7 inches
apart.
Do not pull fodder do not cut
tops; let peas and pea vines die on
land. Value in fertilizer to Land is
worth more than forage.

what shining scalp tresses it would

Platteyille was at one time the
county seat of Weld county. The
legal county seat was Latham, but
as a matter Of convenience the busi-
ness Of the county was transacted at
Platteville for period Of two years.
This is the oldest part nf the
county IN settlement. The name of
the postoffice was originally ST
Vrain, named for the stream by that
name, and this postofflce was estab-
lished probably in 1859; the only
postoff1ce any where in this section of
country at that time outside of Den
yer.
The town of Platteville, named
for the river, was made by the rail-
road which was finished to Evans in
1869. and to Denver the next year.

Among the pioneers still residents
of the neighborhood are: David
Birkle, who owns large farm near
town; David Hodgson, VIM. Birkle
and w. D. Egner. The latter was
brought here by his parents in 1860,
the date when most of the settlers
named came to the country. David
Hodgson settled in California Gulch,
now Leadville, in 1860, coming to
Platteville in 1868, winteriDg with
the Indians. Deer and antelope

that time and the Indians made an

has been tried for number OF years
and found fruitful in variety Of
experimental as we'll as substantial
crops. Alfalfa and the grains. pota-
toes and beets, cucumbers and toma-
toes grow prolific crops and hundreds
of carloads of the products OF the
soil are shipped out each season.
Tine soil varies from light sand to
a heavy black loan on the bottoms.
The Platte river runs few rods
from town and an inexhaustible
stream of good drinking water under
lies the whole district. This is
subterranean river which may be
tapped in town at a depth OF from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. The vein
of water seems to have depth Of
ninety feet, hence the water supply
is assured for Platteville far into the
future.
The scenery in the vicinity Of
Platteville is unsurpassed. The
timber along the river, the trees of
mature growth elsewhere, the hun
dred- mile stretch Of snowy range
with the wonderful blue sky rarely
obscured make q combination ad.
miratl lie indeed.
Irrigation facilities are first. class
throughout the section and land
values range from $50 to 500 per
acre. Some of the recent transfers
are: The Pease and Keehn ranches
which contain 1900 acres, which sold
for ss5 an acre. This land lies four
to five miles from Platteville; and 4
24O-acre tract three miles south,
which brought sl5, 100 cash. This
latter investment was made by q
resident of the country, who has
tested the possibilities Of the soil in
this part OF Colorado.
As to the factors which have made
good, growing town of Platteville,
we will suggest first the: Board OF
Trade as prime factor in the pres
ent substantial growth.
The town is not undergoing =
buom, forced by land owners Wishing
to dispose of their holdings, but the
growth is a natural, healthy advance
compelled by the development of the
country. The Board Of Trade Is
