Corn Growing Contest for the year 1879
was awarded David Glackin, who met the
detailed requirement. Of the contest and
took pains to guard every precaution in
modern corn growing. He met with un-
usual difficulties necessitating three plant
ings in parts Of the plot. He gives the
following data: Plowed on May 10, rolf
ed and narrowed twice, then rolled and
drilled 10 $50 lbs. special potash mixture,
narrowed with Meeker harrow and plant
ed May ~, cultivated June 4 with Bird
harrow. second cultivation June IL, third

Before planting the corn was given a

were used. The corn was cut October s
and gave i total yield Of 2.2oo lbs.
The contest is open again for next
year and boys below IS years should send
in applications II they desire to enter the
contest. The prizes offered are $25, $Io,
and S. Unless there are 10 contestants
by May the contest will be Withdrawn.
Each contestant shall secure the privilege
of u acre on which he may grow the
most profitable crop of corn possible.
He shall keep detailed account accord
ing 10 the data furnished to all applicants,
and shall make final report after har-
vesting.
Parents will do well in giving the pro-
fits Of half acre to the boy because it
will create a wholesome interest in agri-
cultu.al possibilities. II will teach the
boy industry, observation. and the appli-
cation of figures that determine profitable
and successful farming. In numerous
corngrowine Contests boys have opened
the eyes of fathers and neighbors by DEM
onstrating the financial advantage Of
growing two ears of corn where one used
to grow. We urge prompt application
from interested Cecil county boys living
north Of the P. r, r. main line. Send

The oyster Crop Small.

Indications are that the crop of oysters
from Maryland waters, from which
source the bulk of the supply comes to
the State oyster packers, win be smaller
than it has been for years. Last year the
yield was 3. 500, 600 bushels, and it is be-
lieved this amount will be decreased by
$50. 900 bushels. This is the result of the
oystermen's practice of cleaning up the
aatural bottoms each year, thinking the
Chesapeake's supply could never be ex-
hausted. Ten. or fifteen years ago the
average yield was 100000 bushels a
season. The present situation will cause
the oystermen TO plant more bivalves and
lease beds for that purpose from the State.
1t is believed by April FIRST there will be
100, 600 acres allotted to leaseholders.
