Dear Sirs I have your letter OF
June 4th, and in reply will say that
my experience in side dressing corr
last year was as follows: In one field
of about Is acres which I planted in
corr 1 side dressed 10 acres and left
five acres not side-dressed. On the IL
acres which 1 side-dressed I made 35
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. L Intended side dressing the
whole Is acres but ain came on and
continued 20 long until the corn was
too far advanced before I could get to
it to side dress it. It will pay any one
handsomely to side dress corn.
Yours truly,
J. E. Stevenson.
