nineties, a Mr. Drake, of South Caro
lina, stimulated -by the generous oiler
of Orange, Judd & Co., of the Amer -
can Agriculturalist, of $500 for the
largest yield of corn per acre, enter;!
the contest
/'Mr. Drake began by thorough prep
aration of the measured acre in Feb
ruary. Upon It he spread 1.000 bush
els of barnyard manure, 600 busheri
of cottonseed, 866 pounds of kanit, 200
pounds of animal bone, 400 pounds of
nitrate of soda an'd 1,066 pounds of
manipulated guano. The cost of fer
tilizer he placed at $220. He gave the
crop careful anil Intelligent cultiva
tion.
"Stimulated by such an excess oij
plant food, one could almost see the
stalks grow. So rapid this became,
Mr. Drake found it necessary on June
13 to drive stakes along the rows and
nail strips thereon to prevent the
tender stalks being broken by the
wind;
In the presence of witnesses, on the
25th of November, the crop wjs har
vested and the yield carefully meas
ured. The acre produced 254 bushels
and 55 pounds—practically 255 bush
els. Mr. Drake says he did not weig.i
the stripped fodder blades, bit esti
mated that product at 1,500 pounds.
When the State Agricultural Societj
of South Carolina discovered th-ere was
an earnest contest for the largest
yield on a measured acre, it met the
Orange, Judd & Co. offer of $500 and
Mr. Drake received $1,000.
