"In few days side corn in other

has been divided, cover with turn
pillow, sow peas, and break out. This
lays by your crop with good bed and
plenty of dirt around your stalk. This

less the season is very late, and corn
should be hardly punching for tassel.

ing. This is when the ear is hurt.
"The stalks thus raised are very
small, and do not require anything
like the moisture even in proportion
to size than is necessary for large,
sappy stalks. They may, therefore, be
left thicker in the row. Large stalks
can not make large yields except with
extremely favorable seasons, for they
cannot stand lack of moisture. Corn
raised by this method should not be
over seven feet high, and the ear
should be near the ground"
For Piedmont Section.
For the Piedmont section the Will
hanson Plan can not be closely fol-
lowed but must be modified. Half of
the fertilizer should be applied before
planting. The other half should be
applied not later than when corn is
knee high. The nitrate of soda should
then be applied when the corn is waist
high.
Raise Corn As War Measure
In response to the call for food sup
plies in view of war conditions, the
Southern farmer should plant as large
a crop of corn as possible. He should
fertilize literally and cultivate thor
oughly so that maximum crops may
be produced. 1t is recommended that
from 500 to 600 pounds of fertilizer be
applied on Piedmont soils and from
| 500 to 1000 to coastal plain soils.

Fertilizers Supply One More Plant Foods Without Which
Crops Will Not Profitable

conditions be provided for the plant
so that the fertilizer used may enable
the plant to grow most vigorously, and,
therefore, bring about the biggest
yields.
Vigorous Seed
The fundamental, good growing con-
ditions making possible the most eff
ficient use of plant foods, are good
seed, good seed bed and good cult
walton.
ALI planting seed must have strong
vitality to terminate and grow rapidly.
Seed should also be of variety adapt
ed to local conditions. Time and rate
of planting must be given attention,
for either one of these may very ma
terially effect the yield of the crop.
Good Seed Bed
Conditions required in the soil for
best plant growth, and biggest acre
returns from fertilizers used, are a
good, well prepared, finely pulverized
seed bed. It should be mellow and
firm, so as to enable the roots to
penetrate freely and deeply in search
of food and moisture, and to allow suf-
ficient circulation of air. 1t should
be well drained. 1t should be well
supplied with organic matter, which
aids in absorbing and holding moisture
and improves the structure and filth
of the soil Good cultural methods
must be employed so as to destroy
weeds and retain soil moisture
If the preceding conditions are sat
isfactory for plant growth, then, and
not till then, are crops able to make
the most efficient use of plant foods
within their reach. If any one OF
these unfavorable conditions exist, a
plant cannot fully utilize the foods
supplied in fertilizers. Under good
growing conditions fertilizers are used
very proftably, proof of which is fur
nished by thousands of farmers all
over the South. Fertilizers contain
genuine plant food, and, of course,
have marked beneficial influence
when applied in sufficient quantity,
and the plants are otherwise given a
fair chance. The question now is,
Are you striving to so improve your
soil conditions that you may utilize
the value of fertilizer to the fullest
extent? Il

Agronom1st And unless some
then maintaining production, low
yields and improbable returns will
continue to be the result. One can
not draw money from a bank unless
he has friends there. Neither can the
plant draw upon the soil and get the
necessary food elements if the soil
does not contain them.
Plan For Good Yields Every Year
Every farmer should adopt for his
land a system of farming that will
give him good yields continually year
after year. If this is done, he must
feed the plants; for plants, like ami
mails, must feed to grow While plants
require some ten or more elements
for their growth, all, except three,
are supplied in abundance in most
soils. The three elements not supplied
abundantly are nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash. All these are generally
deficient in most southern soils, and,
therefore, have to be supplied in some
commercial form to get profitable
yields.
For farmer to get the largest acre
returns from his investment in fer
tilizers, it is necessary for him to
know something of the conditions I'M
der which fertilizers may be used most
effectively. He naturally asks: "Un-
der what conditions will fertilizers
prove most profitable?"
Fertilizers are used primarily to sup
ply one or more plant foods without
which crops will not be profitable.
But there are conditions other than
plant foods that may influence growth.

come to the Farm Service Bureau
about methods of corn culture it is
considered advisable to recommend the
Williamson method to farmers in the
coastal region or those who have sandy
loan soils. The following is an out
line of the method in Mr.. Williamson's
own words:
Break the land broadcast during the
winter, using a two horse plow or,
better, disc pillow. Bed with turn
pillow six-foot rows, leaving five-inch
balk. When ready to plant, break
this out with a scooter Pillow deeply
in the bottom of this furrow, using a
Dixie with wing taken off. Ridge then
on this furrow with same pillow still
going deep. Run the corn planter on
this ridge, dropping one grain every
five or six inches.
PLANT early. as soon as frost dan
ger is past. Early planting is espe-
cially needful on very rich lands
where stalks can not otherwise be
kept from growing too large.
Give the first working with har-
row or any plow that will not cover
the plant. For second working use
ten or twelve inch sweep. Corn should
not be worked again until the growth
has been so retarded, and the stalk
SO hardened that it will never grow
too large. This is the most difficult
point in the whole process. Expert
ence and Judgment are required to
know just how much the stalk should
be stunted, and plenty of nerve is re-
