LARGE CORN CROPS.
Unique Methods That Have Brought
Fine Average Yields.


For several years we have called
special attention to the immense crops
of corn grown by |. S. Long of Leban-
ON county, Pa. 1t is doubtful If there
Is another corn grower in the eastern
United States w1o harvests larger
average crop per acre, remarks Amerl-
can Agriculturis1 On ninety acres
last season his yield was over 1870
bushels shelled corn per acre. In
some cases the average was over 135
bushels. This was particularly true
of one field CT twenty-elght acres.
From this field Mr.. Long selected one
ear which he considers the most per
feet ear of corn ever produced by him.
1t is twelve and half inches long and
very uniform throughout with an ex-
ceedingiy small cob The grains cover
the very tip and are well rounded.
A Valuable Ear.
The ear measures eight and three
fourths inches around II at the base,
eight and a half at the center, eight
inches two inches from the tip, seven
and half inches one inch from the
twenty rows around the cob. kernels
are very deep and uniform. 1t Is one
of the most perfect ears we have ever
seen. Mr.. Long said he would not
take 800 for the ear. The stalk upon
which it was borne was about eleven
feet high. with short. thick joints; very
broad. dense. green leaves. The ear
was borne about five and a half feet
from the ground. The grower consid-
ers that the stalk and ear represent
the most perfect type Of corn that be
has ever produced.
Selection of Seed Corn.
Mr. Long selected the seed corn he
desires to use this spring for his own
nlantinQ late last fall. handling each
ear himself He took out two or three
grains from the center Of each ear to
make sure that the type of grain ap-
preached the Ideal In size and uni

treetles The eHrs are three or -four
feet deep and piled regularly. like cord

apart. so there Is free circulation OF
air around the corn. The methods are
unique and well worth repeating at
this time.
Regular Rotation.
Regular rotation is practiced. Nc
fertilizers are applied directly to the
corn crop This, however. does not
mean that the grower does not provide
