HOW TO INCREASE
CORN PRODUCTION
Farm Demonstration Agent Outlines
Plan for Building Up the Soils
of Brazos County.

In a former article / promised the
members of the Boys Corn Club and
farmers generally that in future arti.
Gle ! would tell them how | think the
49-bushel acre mentioned in my Boys
Corn Cub report can be made to in
crease its production from 40 to rs
bushels of corn. If were called upon
to make that particular acre or any
other upland acre in Brazos county
produce rs bushels of corn, would
carry it through the following process:
Just as soon as l could get in the
field would SOW it down in rye.
While know it is entirely too late to
SOW a winter cover crop, yet rye is
very hard to kill by cold and | would
risk it, and if it got killed, all right,
and if il grew, all right. | would let
the land lie till the following March
Is, then | would spread some barn
yard manure on the land-Now, hear
some say, suppose you don't have the
barnyard manure. | know If | were to
do like many farmers do | would not
have any, but if | kept livestock on
my farm | would have about ten
times as much as the average farmer
saves with the same number of live
stock After got this coat of manure
spread l would then break the land,
turning under the rye and manure, if
there were any rye, and If not, there
would be a good crop of green weeds
and grass which would make what we
call coat of green fertilizer Then
on or about April 10 l would, after
disking or narrowing the land, plant
it in lady peas in rows, say three feet
apart; / mean the kind that are good
and early bearers and have a long
vine AS soon as these peas matured
would gather them and sell them
at cents per pound, which would
amply pay me for my trouble and ex-
pense. The first rain that came after
gathering the peas would plough I'M
der these peavines, and let them lie
till the first rain in the fall, when
would put on another coat of fertilizer
from the barnyard and again SOW it
down in rye. Pasture on it during the
winter when the ground is not wet,
and let it remain until March 10.
Again turn under and wait till April
Is and then plant in Spanish peanuts,
using about $50 pounds of commercial
fertilizer to the acre. AS soon as they
matured l would take them off and
have the peanuts threshed and save
