a,s vIe,d - Corn.

Sac City. Iowa.--Mr. G. Keir stat
ed that his men had just finished
husking and cribbing the corn from
an eighteen acre field on his farm
one and one-hAif miles west OF the
Sac City canning factory and had OBJ
tanned no less than 1855 bushels. or
q yield Of almost ninety-one bushels
per acre.
Mr.. Keir says that the measure
ments are correct and that he II con.
fident that he might have obtained
100 bushels per acre II the corn had
been taken out before the severe
storms. !.
This splendid yield 10 not 10 hard
to understand after Mr.. Keir tells
how he proceeded In order to get It.
He began last fall by covering the
field with manure, scattered by, =
spreader, and then plowed the field
In the spring he gave the field light
top dressing Of manure and thorough
ly disked it into the soil.
The seed bed was carefully prepar-
ed BY disking and narrowing and the
corn was checked in ON the usual
plan. The seed was strong. the stand
perfect. He cultivated entirely with q
god cultivator and went over the
field ave times, twice after the fourth
OF July. As q result. he says that
nothing was grown in the field but
corn, and II Is now absolutely clean
SO far as weeds or grass are con-
cerned.
y 1t is probable that the average
farmer hereabout will be pleased this
year ii he obtains a yield Of thirty
bushels per acre. 1t is worth while
ascertaining whether the excess Of
sixty bushels per acre did not amply
compensate for the extra expenditure
Of labor. Smaller fields, better cult
waited. must become the motto Of
farmers on $150-an-acre land.
