The farmer who has broken his land
broadcast, well and deep can save a
great deal of labor by planting on a
level and his results will be fully as
good.
There is also diversity of opinion
as to the proper width of rows for
corn. Some farmers have their rows
4 feet, some ) feet, some feet, and
some even feet. Some like the ex-
IRENE wide rows because they con-
tend that corn will make better l.
certainly has plenty of room, to say
the least of it; and if rapid, intensive
cultivation is not practiced, it is an
advantage to have the rows as wide
as from to feet.
AS general rule, however, for a
man who thoroughly prepares his
land and properly cultiyates, rows 4
to IL feet wide are best. This
has been proven again and again in
tests that have been made.
! have discussed the proper width
of rows for progressive farmers who
are trying to grow more corn on
fewer acres. If man expects the

I presents the most economical nse OF
it.
This section of country, being in
the coastal plains region, has soil Of
sandy type underlain with clay.
which represents, perhaps, the bes
soil for the largest variety OF cropE,
with the best yields to be found any
where in the country
Such soils, however, have not the
abundant potash supply of the clay
soils, so fertilizer with higher per
centage of potash is recommended Az
a general rule a 8 SIS is better than
any other This means per cent
phosphoric acid, 3 per cent, nitrogen
and per cent. potash.
Cultivation has a great deal to de
with getting good yields Of corn Cub
tivations should be given to save moiz
ture, rather than to kill grass. If the
corn is properly cultivated to says
moisture there will never be any need
OF cultVatlng to Kill grass.
The saving of the moisture is an i'm
portant feature, because it takes about
500 tons of water to make a ton OF
stalk of corn.
We should cultivate, however, and
not pillow corn. 1t might be well and
all right at first to pillow the corn
a little deep so as to help keep ii
loose, but, after the corn gets up as
high as IL inches, it should never bs
cultivated deeper than two inches, one
and a half inches being better. These
civilizations can better be given with
some cultiyator such as the spring
tooth type. 1t saves labor and does
the work better.
There should not be any certain
number of civilizations adhered ta
Cultivate as soon after each rain as
the land will permit and as often az
every ten days, even if it has nos
rained. Such a rule might demand an
many as ten civilizations, or as few as
fine, not less. 1t is a notable fact thai
the largest yield of corn ever produces
in the United States was done where
| the largest number of civilizations
We're given. There were given clever
civilizations.
The corn should be cultivated as
late as possible, at least until the corn
begins to silk out freely.
Every farmer should try to improve
his corn rather than send off for
corn that perhaps may not be adapted
to his soil and climate. This can be
easily done by going into the fields
and there selecting from the bess
stalks with the largest number Of
ears on the stalk. From this selected
corn the best ears may be taken and
planted Wonderful results will fox
low if such a plan is adhered to.

land to do practically all of it, wide
rows are to be recommended as well
as plenty of space between the plants.
In order to make a good yield Of
corn, of course, it is necessary to
have a sufficiency of stalks on the land
Where the land has been well prepar-
ed, as described above, and has been
improved until it already produces
well naturally, and where at least 500
pounds of good complete fertilizer
is used, the plants should be not fur
Their apart than Is inches, nor under
12 inches.
If the land has been thoroughly pre-
pared and is well cultivated, even
though the land has not been produc
ing so well in the past, and at least
800 pounds of a good complete fertil
izer is used, the plants should be not
further than IS inches apart, nor less
than 10 inches. Rules for poor farm
ing need not be given all know how

they have not been able to use the ij-'
proved implements to such gone adj
vantage, is that, after the land has
been we'll broken broadcast, it is ridg-
ed in beds by use of the two-ho sc

herents, and justly so, for it is by far
much better than the average plan
used by the farmers. By the use OF
this plan notable yields of corn, with
moderate fertilization, have been OBJ
tanned, some of them reaching 10 bush
els per acre but perhaps, the average
being about 35 to 40 bushels.
l should say this plan should be fol-
lowed by a farmer who has not brok-
en- his land broadcast and who wishes
to get the best possible preparation
for the least amount of work in the
shortest length of time.

break sthe clods that may be turned
up. But if the land has been poorly
broken in previous years or is broken
in the spring or late winter it is not
well to break deep, turning up the,
clay, with a two-horse pillow, as the
clods of clay will never be frozen, but
will bake hard and will have to be
contended with during the growing
season.
The best way to break them is to
use a two-horse pillow going q little
deeper than usual and then subsoil
with some pillow that will not turn the
subsoil up on top.
The preparation for planting is the
next step. There are many ways in
which this can be done and is done
that are good Among these ways are:
fiat riding the land, and either plan
ing on the ridge or in the water-fuf
rows slightly below level; planting
on a level without ridging the land at
all; and planting in the waite" fur
row much below the level. Aft;r the
land has beer ridged with a two
horse plow, the balk thrown OH
with a middle burster and a subsoil
pillow run in this furrow.
Of all these plans each has its mer
it's worthy of attention and each its
admirers. Which is the better system
can be determined only by a knowl-
edge of existing conditions.
In this section very little corn is
planted on ridge-and it is well that
it is not-as our lands are slightly
rolling and well-drained On some of
the bottom lands it is well to plant on
the ridge.
The corn planted, for the most part,
is slightly below level in the water
furrow. This is the rule among the
less progressive farmers who do not
break their lands broadcast, but
merely bed-out with one-horse plows
and plant in the waterfurrow. The
first civilizations given the corn after
this is usually with scooters as dee
as one mule can pull them. This Is
we'll where such poor preparation is
made.
The plan, perhaps best of all for a
farmer who has previously We. brJl--
en- deep his land broadcast would b
to mark off his rows equally distan
apart and plant almost on a level or
slightly below a level without bedding
out. This would permit the use of I'M
proved implements to greater adyanf-
age than if the corn were planted in
any of the other ways mention 3D.

gdessiSe farmers, and which plan hi S

CORN takes high rank as as one of
the most important crops of Sumter
and adjacent counties.
There is not a crop grown in this
section of the state that thrives any
better than corn, nor is there a section
in the whole of the United States in
which corn does any better than here.
Iowa holds first place of all the
states in the production of corn, but in
this section we have been able to pro-
duce more per acre than Iowa. In a
corn contest held in Macon county last
year boy in the Boys Corn Club pro-
duced 14S bushels on an acre of land.
Another boy in Schley county produc-
ed 1875 bushels. A farmer also of sum
ter county produced 1876 bushels.
These, of course were acre tracts,
but to mention Mr.. J. J. Dozier again,
besides his IA acres of cotton on
which he got bales per acre, he also
had IA acres of corn on which he used
only 900 pounds of fertilizer per acre
and gathered, on an average, 60 bush
els OF corn per acre. This is good
practical farming and the results can
be duplicated by any live and up-to-
date farmer who is willing to apply
scientific principles in his farm OPP
erations.
Cotton, to a great extent has mon
opolized the energies of our farmers.
They have even become slaves to the
growth of it. Diversifcation in
farming is the basis of successful
agriculture. Concentration on any one
crop may result in greater skill in the
growth of that crop, but is likely to
produce an oyer-supply with CORE
cost of production remains the same
AS for all crops, the land should b.
broken well and deep for corn This
should be done in the fall of the year
if possible SO as to catch the winter
rains and to get the benefit of the
freezes. Of course if it is impossible to
get the land broken in the fall il
should be broken well and deep when
ever it is broken, if in late winter
early spring. The depth for breaking
varies somewhat with the soil and
moisture Conditions vary, but, as
rule, the land should be broken at
least from to 10 inches deen.
If the land has been properly cared
for so that it is full of humus or if it is
broken in the fall or early winter
two-horse pillow can be us6i, Rreaking
the desired depth. The freezes will

little as three tons per acre will pro-
duce remarkable results. Then, too,
where only three tons per acre are
used the usual supply a farmer has
may be made to cover several acres.
If the farmers generally would give
more consideration to the raising OF
stable manure and practice intensive
cultivation practically the whole of
their crops could receive a light ap-
plication of manure every year.
The average way by which corn is
fortified is by the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, to which corn re
spends most readily when properly
used and the land is properly pre-
pared and cultivated.
1t has been proven again and again
that side applications of fertilizer af-
ter the corn begins to grow is better
than to put all of it under at or be
fore planting time.
If the soil is sufficiently supplied
with humus all of the fertilizer might
be used with as great success at or be-
fore planting, but there are but few
and, ! dare say, there are none-that
have a sufficiency of humus, because
of the manner in which the land has
been managed. II less than 500 pounds
of a complete fertilizer is used it
after the corn begins to grow. When
the corn is nearly knee high, the fer
tilizer should be applied, the best way.
perhaps, being to apply half of it at
this time, and about two weeks later
the other half. A single application
however, is all right when time can
not be spared for the second.
When as much or more than soc
pounds per acre of the complete fer
tilizer is used, it is well to apply about
one-fourth of it at planting, time and
use the other in two different appli-
cations as directed above.
The use of nitrate of soda as top
, dressing is to be advised. 1t pays
many times for itself in the increased
yield produced Not more than 100
pounds per acre is advisable, however,
and 100 pounds is recommended as a
rule
Perhaps the best time to apply it is
when the corn is just beginning to
bunch for tassel.
The amount of fertilizer to be rec
commended for corn is controlled by
the character of the land, whether in
good condition or poor; the prepare
ton and the cultivation. Eight hun
dred and even thousand pounds per
acre may be used with success and
profit where the proper conditions
mentioned above exist. Five to sever
hundred pounds per acre, however, re
