Washington December 1s-(Special)
Walker Lee Dunson of Alexander City,
Ala, champion corn grower of the United
States, makes a very interesting state
ment as to the manner and the means ne
used in cultivating the one acre of ground
on which he produced 232 81 bushels of
corn, and thereby smashed all previous
records as to number of bushels and cost
of raising.
II am just 10 years Old declares this
young record breaker, 'and was born in
Tallapoosa county, Ala bama, on Decem-
ber 4, 1899. l have lived on the farm all
my life, and while L do not really love
to work, yet do not mind doing 1t when
see it ought to be done. | have only
had school advantages to the extent of at
tending the common school during the idle
season from the farm work. and for
this reason my education is limited.
I'm preparing my land for the corn
first cut the stalks with a stalk cutter
and turned the land on March with a
two-horse plow from 10 to 12 inches deep.
l then double cut the land with a disc
harrow and April | laid off the
rows three feet apart and bedded the
fand with a one-horse turner and planted
the corn in the water furrow, using 200
pounds of 1914 guano. The corn came
up to be a perfect stand. The first plow-
ing | used a cutivator just deep enough
to loose the soil The second plowing |
used a single stock with scooter and
scrape and applied 400 pounds of 10-l
guano. The third cultivation | plowed it
with a harrow and applied 800 pounds of
10-4 guano. | then thinned out the corn
to a stand of about eight inches in the
drill. The fourth cultivation / again
plowed with harrow and applied 800
ponuds of 1914 guano, also giving it
good hoeing The fifth cultivation 1 again
used the harrow and applied 200 pounds
of 10-4-4 guano as a top dressing. The
sixth plowing l again used the harrow
and applied 100 pounds nitrate of soda
The, seventh plowing used Planet
Junior cultivator very lightly.
THE cost of this one acre of corn will
be found as follows:
