A REMARKABLE YIELD.
w. B. Chitty Produces $50 Bushels of
Rye From Three Acres.

John D. Brandon, county demon
stration agent, reports to The Her
aid a remarkable yield of rye on the
plantation of w. B. Chitty, of Olar.
When it is considered that rye is
worth, ordinarily, some So to 81 a
bushel, it can readily be seen what
the value of this crop is, and when
the statement is made that this rye
came from pedigreed seed, the value
looms up as enormous.
Il have quite a bit of interesting
information from w. B. Chitty, of
Olar,' said Mr.. Brandon the other
day. ''N1r. Chitty sowed three acres
of rye and harvested $50 bushels. No
commercial fertilizer was used except
Is pounds of soda, which was put on
as top dresser in the spring. This
particular yield was made up on a
strip of land left at one side of his
oat field, which was one-half acre
wide and six acres long. This rye
followed a crop of corn, beans and
cow peas.
''Mr, Chitty gives the crop Of beans
and peas the credit of the large yield.
The Georgia method of planting two
rows of corn and one of beans was
used and the COW peas were soWn in
the middles at laying-by time. The
litter produced by these crops was
chopped up with a disc harrow and
thoroughly incorporated with the soil
before seeding the oats and rye. The
oats yielded 65 bushels per acre. The
rye was seeded at the rate of one-half
bushel per acre, and the seed was OBJ
tanned from the Olar high school
grounds, coming Immediately from
the Coker seed farm. Mr.. Chitty sent
Mr.. Coker a sample of his rye and
Mr. Coker reported that the seed was
as good as his seed, which he is Of
fering for $50 per bushel.
'MrA Chitty had considerable trou-
BILE harvesting his rye, and gave the
impression that it was his advice to
farmers not to make such yields. He
tried to harvest it with a tractor and
binder, but the draft was so heavy
that the tractor dug in; then tractor
and two mules was tried and the trac-
tor dug in again. The job was COM
pleted with four mules and binder,
1'!e binder taking one-half Of the
sWath that it was capable of taking.
This field now has a fine crop Of pea
nuts and peavine hay on it,"
