P00RLAND FARM
RAISES BIG CROP

throughout the state and farmers have
been greatly benefited 10y his soil eN-

The Hopkins farm is typical South.
ern Illinois prairie land. ! few years
ago II was noted for the impoverished
condition of It's soil and was common
Is referred 10 as "Poorland Farm.
This name has been retained by its
present owner. altho 1t has lost its
significance SO far as poor crop yields
are concerned. The soil has been en-.
riched by systematic treatment and
now produces very profitable crops.
The wheat on portland Farm this
year made more than a bushels per
acre. This was on land treated with
manure, limestone and raw rock ph0s-
phate. On check strips where manure
only had been applied. the yield was
less than bushels per acre. and
where limestone was used In addition
to the manure, u bushels per acre
were harvested. The actual field
yields under these different soil treat.
ments are as follows:
With Manure alone. ~ bu. per acre
With Manure and Lime

With Manure, Limestone

plate $3.50. 500. .44.1 bu. per acre
These results were obtained under
ordinary farm conditions. and can be
secured on other farms II similar soil
treatment is practiced. There is no
