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.
