Magnificent Corn
On Lester Acre.
An acre of corn on D. B. Les
ter’s place at Beaulieu is attract
ing a great deal of attention be
cause of the massive size of the
stalks.
Many exaggerated stories have
been told about Mr. Lester’s prize
acre of corn. One man who saw
it wanted to buy the stalks for
piling, hut Mr. Lester declined
the proposition as he wants to
make batteaux out of the stalks.
The corn is so tall that a man
cannot reach to the top of the
stalks with a garden rake. The
stalks are just about the most
magnificent that have grown
along the coast. But expert
farmers who have seen the patch
of corn express serious doubt
whether it will grain. They are
afraid the corn has all run to
stalk and there will be nothing
for the ear.
Mr. Lester believes otherwise.
He followed the plan of Walter
Bridges, a 11-year-old corn club
boy of Terrell county, and he ex
pects to get about 200 bushels to
the acre. Young Bridge’s acre
yielded 15(5 bushels and lie had a
long dry spell to retard the corn’s
development. The corn was
planted in rows twenty-eight
inches apart, and the seed in the
row six inches from each other.
"Phis has produced a veritable
jungle. The big, bushy stalks
are so close together that it is
with difficulty that they are work
ed at all.
One thousand pounds of ferti
lizer was put on the acre, and 200
pounds of nitrate of soda was ad
ded twice and later 100 pounds
more of the same material was
put on. The growth is really a
curiosity. Some of tl stalks
are beginning to tassel. they
do not grain Mr. Lester will still
have a fine crop of fodder.—Sa
