Evna, 9TH District.-As preparation for
corn planting is near at hand the aim should
be to not only plant but to plant for big yields,
notwithstanding so much has been said about
the well formed ear and the deep grains. 1t is
important to have barnyard manure, but when
that is not available in sufficient quantities
then commercial fertilizers can be used with
profit to the crop and the crops that follow.
Mr.. Erastus Thompson has been specially
interested in corn growing and last year plan
ted the Golden California variety with crafty
ing results. His first work was the sowing on
sod land 400 lbs. of South Carolina rock, with
a drill in March, and in April plowed the
ground. After thorough cultivation he drilled
the corn in 81 #. rows and one grain 20 inches
in the row. He was rewarded with 10S barrels
of large corn and 81 barrels of short corn-a
total yield of 1115 barrels on acres, or over Is
barrels per acre. He has finished sowing
better grade of fertilizer for this years crop
and will give the best cultivation hoping to
exceed last years product.
We give credit to Mr.. Thompson and others
who are or will make strenuous efforts in
corn-growing and obtain records that will at.
tract the attention of those who might do
better. FARMER.
