Corn Raising in the South.


BY JOS. 4. Wne, in Breeders Csxete. Sept. II. 1912.
am in receipt of the following letter:
81 belong to a boys corn club in Iowa. How do the boys
in the South grow 200 bushels Of corn on an acre7 Can we do
the same here II we know howp"
TO reply to this one must 60 deeply into the
subject of plant growth. Plants feed in the soil
in part; it is that part of their food we can and do
control more or less by soil enrichment and cult
walton, However, only a very small per cent of
the plants substance comes from the soil after all.
It's carbon comes from the air and most of its SUBJ
stance is carbon and water. The leaves gather the
carbon from the atmosphere, Moisture in the soil,
heat and especially sunlight are necessary to enable
the plant to do this marvellous building of tissue.
From the air comes carbon, but plant cells must
be built of a proper assortment of elements: thus
there is phosphorus in each cell of the plant, so
the corn can not go on gathering carbon unless
it has at the same time furnished to its roots
supplies of nitrogen and phosphorus and potash
and all other ingredients, happily seldom lacking
in soils.
do not think that Iowa will ever be able to
grow the enormous corn plants that can be grown
in Georgia and the other gulf states, the reason
being that these southern states have both so
much heat and such intensity of light. Thus very
thick corn in Georgia or Mississippi gets nearly as
much sunlight to each plant as does corr, iiinsIowa
planted much wider apart. Then the gulf States
have often enormous summer rainfall. When the
corn is on well drained soil this helps.
Briefly, the way the southern boys grow more
than 200 bushels of corn to the acre is to heavily
enrich the soil with manure, to plant very thick,
often as close as 2 feet by 2 feet, to cultivate well,
to further enrich the soil by heavy use of phos-
phatic fertilizers and two or more times as growth
progresses to use nitrate of soda, perhaps 80
pounds to the acre in three or four applications,
the last as the ears are making. We can learn
from the southern boys, but we can hardly hope
in our cooler climate and with our shorter seasons
to equal their yields. They also plant prolific"
corns that mature two or more ears to the stalk.
In north Georgia | saw recently a boys acre that
had been planted l 1-2 feet by l 1-2 feet, each way
nearly two stalks to a hill, enriched as | have de-
scribed and we'll cultivated. It's mass of growth is
almost incredible. Unhappilv a small tornado has
laid it flat so that boy will probably fall short of
his hopes for 300 bushels.
In the South, it is my opinion that to plant corn
about 30 inch by 80 inches would probably give
the best results, or at closest not closer than "a
inches by "a inches. In Iowa l would try 80 inches
by 80 inches and also in drills 3 feet apart. The
foundation principle must be drainage, then heavy
manuring, deep blowing and frequent shallow cul-
~tlvatlon, With later frequent feeding of the plants
as they develop. JOSEPH E. Wing.
