Dear Sirs / have your letter of
June 4th, and in reply will say that
my experience in side dressing corn
last year was as follows In II field
of about Is acres which I planted in
corn 1 side dressed 10 acres and left
five acres not side-dressed. On the 10
acres which I s~ide-dressed l made IS
bushels TO the acre. On the five acres
not side-dressed the yield was not over
10 bushels to the acre. 1t cost me
about $50 to side dress the 10 acres ;
about So per acre. 1t increased the
yield at least Is bushels of corn per
acre. I Intended side dressing the
whole Is acres but rain came on and
continued so long until the corn was
too far advanced before I could get to
it to side dress it. 1t will pay any one
handsomely to side dress corn.
Yours truly,

done for Wade Drake and Jim Steven
son. 1t will pay you as we'll as it did
them if you will do the needful. Side
dressing will pay you better than any
fertilizer you put in the ground. We

Dear Strive have heard that by a
liberal use of fertilizers, principally in
side dressing, you made seventy bales
of cotton on sixty acres of land last
year. We will appreciate it if you
will give us your method of prepare
ton, fertilization and cultivation
which resulted in this crop. We wish
to give the public the benefit of your
experience as we think it will be an
inducement to farmers to side dress
their crops.
