Mr.. High has noW for sale two filters
Of beautiful thoroughbred shoats and
old four last Saturday for IS apiece.
This county is especially adapted to
hog raising and our Columbus coun-
ty farmers ought to improve their
stock Of swine. and be exporting in
stead Of importing meat. Mr. High
kills 2, O pounds and upwards a year
raised around his lot, besides the pigs
he sells.
But what we want to tell our read
ers especially about is a twe-acre
patch Of prolific corn belonging to Mr..
High, and for h seed to plant which
he paid 81 per peck. While living IN
Georgia We saw an acre of corn in
RockdaIe county from which Col. G..
D. Peek claimed to have gathered
253 bushels and l peck of measured
corn. and was awarded the prize for
the largest yield offered by a fertilizer
company. And we will just here state
that Colonel Peck sen the editor a
bushel Of that corn, which we had a
lazy darcy to plant and work, and
our estimate was that the crop aver
aged from five to seven bushels per
acre, for the only part of that field
deeentIy worked was under the shade
of a trees.
But to return to Mr. Highs corn.
We have raveIed all over the great
plains or the est, ana don [ tAlnk we
ever saw as much grain of any kind
growing on a piece of land as has ma
tured on that two-acre patch Of corn.
The rows alternate 2 and 4 IL feet,
and the stalks stand bou as thick
in the row as m generally leave
cotton, and there being frequently
two stalks left to the hill. On each
stalk hangs from two to three fine
ears mot nubbins) and they are filled
out and rounded with sound grains at
each end; for Mr.. High does not prac-
tice the losing folly of pulling fodder.
To show the enormous amount Of
corn growing on this patch, MFR. High
measured off five square feet, and in
that contracted space int nine
large ears. Suppose some Of our
correspondents make a calculation of
how much corn an acre Of land wifi
produce, averaging one ear to every
six square inches, and allowing 100
ears to the busheI; and we believe
Mr.. Highs two acre corn patch will
mighty nigh come up to this average.
We old Mr.. High hat he ought not
to feed away Or grind a peck of that
fine corn, but let our farmers hav it
for seed. And what Mr.. D. p. High
has done on these little fields around
his house any and every farmer IN
Columbus county can also accomplish.

shine every day. from the time that
the seed is sown until the nurse crop
is removed.
The sunshine for the clover can be
secured by planting it with an early
oats, like the Early Champion. which
from ten days to two weeks
earlier than the late varieties.
The second help Is TO make a thin
seeding OF oats. not more than one
buShel per acre. This may seem a
very small amount of seed, but / have
found such a seeding a very good one
for the clover, n also that il pro-
duces a fair crop of oats.
The farmer is very particular TO get
a corn planter with which he can drop
exactly a certain unlbe of kernels
per hill knowing that too many stalks
will reduce the yield
But the farmer takes no such pains
with his oats seeding He uses an
end-gate seeder and usually sows three
or four bushels per acre, getting a
dense shade for the clover. a lot of
straw, and small heads of oats.
Many a farmer thinks more OF the
yield of oats than the catch of clover,
and spoils the chance for clover by
heavy seeding of eats.
If the drill is driven north and
south in sowing the seed. the sun
shines directly down on the young
clover in the middle of the day, when
il eXerts it's great power.
