How the Crop Was Made.
The prize winner gives the follon-
ing as the -method he -used In planting
and cultivating the corn:
•'Last March I hauled out twelve
wagon loads of horse lot manure
and broadcast over the ground and
then broke up with a two-horse plow
.about eight inches deep.
The first of Aprit I broadcast
one ton of cotton seed meal, and cross-
broke ten Inches deep with a two-
horse plow. Bedded out about me
same depth with two J horse plow. Then
drilled one and one-haif socks 10-2-2
fertilizer.
"The corn was dropped from four
to ten inches apart in four fort
rows. Side the first time with' a
scooter plow.
"The second plowing the corn was
sided with a scooter and twelve-inch
scrape an dused two sacks of 10-2-2
fertilizer in the siding furrow. Than
tore the middles with a Joe harrow.
Tine third plowing I put put one
sack 10-2-2 fertilizer with distributor
putting near roots and then fallowed
with cultivator with a twelve-inch
sweep next to the corn, and- followed
with two scooter plows on same stock,
land then I burst th'e remains of tile
middles with 18-inch scrape and a
scooter. Broadcast in the middles two
sacks of 10-2-2 fertilizer.
“The fourth plowing I run two
furrows, with a .twenty-four inch
scrape, followed ten days later with
one hundred pounds nitrate of soda
and fifteen days later with one hun
dred pounds more.
"The fifth plowing I ran one furrow
with twenty-six inch scrape to the
middle and kept .well suckered. Tile
acre gave me a yield of one hundred
and forty-seven bushels.

Mr. Woolard failed to give the cost

that item of expense, making the to
tal expense $74.72. The rental of the
land is not figured as an item of ex
