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. "W. H.
