presumably, he was gradually build
ing up. his soil He developed va
riety of corn that averaged four good
ears per stalk. That development
represents six years Of patient work.
Cow peas followed wheat on the
competing acre, yielding three tons
of hay. The soil is stiff, dark, sandy
upland Top soil twelve inches deep,
underlaid with ten inches of clay.
On the 18th of March, 1909, pre-
parations for the corn was begun
by "a heavy application of COW ma
nure''. On the 18th, the land was
broken twelve inches deep, a one
horse pillow following and cutting six
inches deeper. The next day a
smoothing harrow was run over the
acre. On April /, the land was plow-
ed at right angles to first blowing,
and, on the 18th, 500 pounds of acid
phosphate and 200 pounds of cotton
meal was distributed broadcast over
the acre Nothing is said, but the
presumption is the fertilizer was
narrowed in.
Two days later the corn was plant
ed-three grains to a hill, three
inches deep. The hills were eight
inches apart.
No mention is made in the pub
lished interview as to the method
of cultivation pursued. 1t will be
taken for granted that the most ap-
proved method was observed
Mr.. Bats is an optimist on the
subject of corn production. He be-
lieves that 200 bushels of shelled
corn per acre can be made the rule
rather than the exception. 1t is
hoped that he will put that thought
to the test on ten to twenty acres,
and report in detail the result.
Meanwhile, let North Carolina farm
ers and farmers of the other cotton
States unite in long pull strong
pull and pull all together, in a per-
sistent effort to bring the general
average yield of corn up to 25 BUSH
els per acre. To do that will be to
inaugurate new era of prosperity
throughout the cotton States. Such
an achievement would itself consti-

Not long ago, l saw statement in

that a Wake county North Carolina,

reason that the dimensions of the
average acre are oftener than other

It required some time to obtain
even a moderately detailed statement
of the case reported. Mr.. John F.
Bats is the gentleman who made
the corn. The yield was 226 ga
bushels of shelled corn. Mr.. Bats
declares that, eight years ago, the
acre under consideration produced
only five bushels of corn, and, in
1908. only eight bushels of wheat.

The Importance of Attention to
Details.
Than the farmer, who is bust
ness man in the highest sense of that
term, no man should give closer per-
sonal attention to details. 1t is the
first step toward being systematic.
"Seest thou a man diligent in bust
ness?" We all know that success
crowns that mans undertakings.
Carlisle said that to be diligent is to
possess all the virtues necessary to
success. That is true of the student,
the lawyer, the machinist, the physi-
clan, the banker, the farmer.
diligent man never neglects details,
however annoying they may some
times be. If lawyer, such man be-
gins betimes to study in it's order
each case committed to his care. He
looks at each case from every posi-
BILE viewpoint. Then he takes up the
law. the authorities, the decisions of
the high courts of appeal. When he
appears in court, and any one of his
cases is called, he is ready without
the omission of fact or the absence
of a single witness on his side. So,
too, a diligent farmer notes every
item that goes to make up his broad
er case-date of preparation of his
land for each crop he proposes to
grow, the exact acreage given to this
and to that crop, the variety of seed

Another Phenomenal Yield
of Corn
By MARTIN v. CALVIN

tute PEACEFUL DEED OF HIGH
EMPRISE.
Another illustration of what can
be accomplished by high fertiliza-
ton and proper cultivation: Mr.. ].
M. Moss, of South Carolina, won the
first prize for the largest yield OF
corn on five acres, producing an
average of 100 bushels of shelled
corn per acre. Pity it is that, in
telling the story, he failed to give
his place of residence. A name, a
place and a date ought invariably go
hand in hand.
The soil was a sandy loan. 1t had
been treated to stable manure an
nually through series of years, and,
lust previous to this test, 1909,
Welded two 50O-pound bales of cot
ton per acre. That high result came
after an application of commercial
fertilizer in the sum of So to $40
per acre.
In February the land was broken
TO a. depth of eight inches with
three-horse sulky pillow. 1t was laid
off in rows five feet apart. Fertilizer
was applied as follows:
March "a, $50 pounds of IA per
cent. ulSSO1VSu UOAlCs Nv POohOO -
muriate of potash.
May 81, 800 pounds of dissolved
bone per acre, 500 pounds of kainit
per acre, 500 pounds of fish-scrap
per acre, 200 pounds of cotton meal
per acre.
June IA, 800 pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre.
A total of 1900 pounds per acre.
The liberality practiced in using
high-grade fertilizer is in accord with
the practice of the growers of Irish
potatoes in the Eastern States, and
vegetables, ETC., in the country round
about Norfolk. Va. The cultivation
was rapid, systematic and thorough.
The financial statement was as fol-

STRONG OPPOSITION
 10 WAREHOUSE CHAIN
Farmers in Session at Mont
 gomery Dislike Plan
BARRETT OPPOSES IDEA
National President Says the Farmer sbouId Never Surrender the Right That He Now Possesses.
 Morris Also Leary

Montgomery, August 17.-Strong oppo- sition to the proposed plan of John Hays Hammond Daniel J. Sully and other cot ton men to establish chain of cotton warehouses developed today at the open ing session of the Alabama Farmers Pro- gressive and co-Operative union.
 National President c. S. Barrett re- ferred to 1t in his address to the con- vention. He said: "A meeting was called, Atlanta being selected for it, to discuss the advsablity of gathering under one business organization the control of the union warehouses in Georgia. There were more than 1so such establishments at the time, the number being second only to those of Texas.
 '1t was proposed to have boss, a big man to run the business. to have it un- der the control of few men. It was pro- posed to the farmer to give up his rights and turn the control over to the boss. A year later another meeting was held and the plan failed to carry.
 .I advise that we never surrender our rights; never to surrender the rights our ancestors fought and died for. Hold what you nave
 The trouble with you farmers Is you want too much; you are never satisfied: rest a while when you get something and enjoy it; never give up your warehouses. They refused to in Georgia. Never sur render your rights"
 State President W. A. Morris, in an in terview, declared:
 ''The southern farmers realizing along what lines their best interests lie, will never affiliate with such movement. To block such a movement will be our strongest effort. Can anyone suppose the southern farmers will place the control of the cotton crop In the hands of other interests?
 T am convinced that the farmers of Alabama and the rest of the south will meet this plan with a cold shoulder
 More than TOO delegates are present. They were welcomed this morning by county, city and commercial leaders, and listened to addresses from their own of ficers They will be entertained tomor- row al barbecue. The next public meet ing of the union will be addressed tomor- row night by Senator John H. Bankhead.
