HOW ONE MAY SECURE
BIG YIELDS OF CORN
The Williamson Method Explained
By the Originator.
E. Mclver Williams In the Mont
gomery Adveitiser explains the much
talked of Williamson method of com
raising as follows.
Tn 1885 I began to farm on a sandy
slightly rolling place. It had been
under exhaustive cultivation for
many years, and the soil was thin,
making about six hundred pounds of
seed cotton per acre, when well cul
tivated by the use of four hundred
pounds o ffertiniz.er, costing $4, or
ten bushels of corn with $2 worth of
fertilizer.
I followed the old way of early fer
tilizing, planting high working rap
idly, and buying corn. It always
mads a big flourishing stalk, and
aws an annual joy in the spring, and
in the fall I was in annual sorrow. I
knew that the farmer who did not
make provisions always failed sooner
or later and in my case all signs
pointer to it being sooner. So I ap
plied more fertilizer at planting
times, and gave it more work. It.
grew still larger than before, and
made even less and I continued to
buy corn. I was getting out of
trouble n<- irly as fast as the frog was
getting out of the well.
I had seen real farmers make more
corn on much smaller stlks. I had
laughed at them In the spring, and
they at me in the fall, they always,
■ however, laughed last. So profiting
by their success as well as my failure
; I began to plant lower and fertilize
• later, but it was not. until I had al
i loowd it to stand on a small ridge
; with the second working furrows left
■ open on both sides, that the stalk
• could be making its ear.
’ The smallness of the stalk itself
; now suggested that it could be
• planter thicker in the drill.
Thus foi more than ten years I
I kept on studying and experimenting
; planting lower and thicker, and
• stunting the Mr Ik growth, after
will'll all fertilizers vert applied, in
trate of soda being saved for last
‘ plowing. My yield gradually in
; creased until in 1904, when with sll
■ worth of fertilizer per acr the yield
I was 84 bushels on my corn crop of It
J acres, the land being good, rows six
1 feet apart, and corn eleven Inches ii
i drill. I was then convinced that the
J principles of the method were cor
' reet, and that by Its use corn could
■ be made more profitable than cotton
' So in 1905 I Increased my crop to sev
' enty acres on poor land, and made 52
' bushels per aero, with $7.10 In fertil
, izer; rows six feet apart, and thirteen
Inches in drill. In 1907, 65 acres
' yielded 55 bushels per acre, stand ir
regular from hall, rows six feet apart
1905 wa svery dry hero at earing
time.
1907 crop was greatly injured by
hall on June 4th.
This method which has been so
successfully followed in this section,
Is given In detail. With such modifi
cations as any practical farmer can
make to suit his own soil and climate
I believe that It can bo used with
much profit throughout tho entire
south, especially upon sandy soils.
The tools named are such as every
one borso farmer has. Labor saving
Implements can be used, for I have
known a crop practically made with
a two-horse riding disc cultivator,
It Is my purpose, however, to keep
this method within reach of the one
horse farmer, and to so describe it
that he may derive its full benefit,
with the tools that ho has and under
the conditions by which ho is sur
rounded, and not to tell how well he
might succeed bv tsing'hinge he
cannot get. This method may seen
to call for a great peal of work and
much running up and down the row
making corn than up and down the
road buying it.
Stiff land requires more breaking
and subsoiling than light, sandy
soils. Therefore, plow your land
as it may require during the winter.
I do not break up more than one
fourth deeper than land has been
ploughed before.
Do not plough land when it Is ewt
no matter ho wfar behind with your
| work, it will pay to wait until it is in
' proper condition, even though you
I plant less, for it will produce more.
I Especially. Is this true at planting
■ time, and when ploughing near grow-;
lug crops.
Lay laud off in rows six feet apart. ;

i left between these beds. XX hen read)

, and only when soil is in good condi
' tlon. Apply all fertilizer later as di
rected.
; It will make the corn easier to work
if a whole shovel is run deep in cent
er of middle (or bed) when com is
planted, and it will also keep much
water from running down on corn.
Throw two furrows with turn plow
on this shovel furrow when conven
ient, and more just before second
working. This will make the second
working easier, and also clean the
middles; which may be worked over
again, if necessary.
When your corn first needs work,
run on both si ies with harro-• or
small plow, when it is obout eight
small plw; when it is about eight
inches high, give second working by
running around it on both sides, if
on sandy land with ten-inch scrape,
or sweep, set on point, and if on stiff
land, use shovel. Thin now.
Leave these furrows open and do
not work coru again until it Is so
stunted as to prevent its ever growing
larger than is necessary to make
what corn the land is able to produce
This does not mean that cornshould
be left there to die or even neglected
but that it should be compelled to
use its energy in ear making and not
allowed to waste it in stalk growink.
On poor or cold land from ten to
twelve days may be enough, while
rich soil may take twice as long
When you think that it has stood
long enough, apply one half of mixed
fertilizer in the open furrows next to
corn, or every other middle, and
cover by breaking out this middle
with turn plow, and side the corn at
once in this middle with sixteen Inch
scrape, pushing dirt around it, and
covering any grass that the turn
plow has left. Corn should now be
knee high.
Within a week give another middle
same treatment, then go back to first
middle as soon as possible and sow
half of nitrate of soda in scrape fur
rows next corn and cover as fast as
sown with one round of turn plow
-shallow. Then sow peas broadcast
in this middle at rate of bushel per
acre, unless very scarce, when they
may be dropped and covered by
breaking out middle shallow.
A few days later treat other middle
same way which lays by corn on
slight bed with dirt around the
feed roots, before hardly bunching
to tassel. Lay by early, for more
corn is ruined by late ploughing than
by lack of ploughing. No hoeing
should be necessary, and thinning is
easier with one stalk in hill. Run
corn with coal tar if birds or chkcken
are bad.
On sandy soil I would use for a
25-40 bushel yield, 100 pounds acid
phosphate , 100 pounds cotton seed
meal and 200 pounds kainit per acre,
mixed, and 75 pounds nitrate of soda
at last ploughing, leaving corn 16-20
inches in drill, rows six feet apart.
For 45-60 bushel yield I would double
amount of fixed fertilizer and also
use 175 pounds in drill, rows five feet
apart. Clay sand is said to require
more phosphoric acid and less potash
the fertilizing not so late nor the
planting so early; but this I do not
know of my own experience.
Mix your own fertilizer —you will
then know what yon have, save
money and learn what your land
really needs.
If you cannot grow peas, then try
velvet beans or iron peas, or some ni
trogen gathering crop, which will
save your buying more of this expen
sive element next year than is abso
lutely necessary.
The land In these wide rows is not
wasted, for It gives better room to
cultivate enables the plant to get
more sunshine and light, besides
raising the vegetable matter, which
is the very life of the soil —without it
land can never be made rich, no mat
ter how much commercial fertilizer
is used nor can this fertilizer be made
to pay on laud lacking in vegetable
matter, however well cultivated.
Never burn vines or stalks or gras
unless it be nut grass, and turn undet
all dead vegetable matter possible
gradually deeper and deeper until
your soil will have enough moisture
to make good crops at small cost, re
gardless of seasons.
Get the best corn in your neighbor
hood, that which does well in other
sections may utterly fail when
changed to yours. Select heavy
solid, regular ears of medium size,
and slightly tapering toward silk
ends, well filled out between the two
rows and at both ends with grains
long, full thick and free from weevil
Next fall select this from small well
shaped stalks in field.
Do not pull fodder or cut tops if
you can possibly help, for either will
lessen the yield.
An acre of strong stiff and well pr
pared and fertilized, after oats and
planted in sorghum and peas will
make more forage than many acres
of fodder at much less cost.
XVe learn notghin by doing noth-]
ing new; if you are not satisfied with!
your present corn yield try an acre
this method, and follow it closely and
then if it does not suit you. it may ,

WILL MAU ACID
OF OWPPBR FUMES
Atlanta, Ga., —Modern science and
ingenuity has again demonstrated its
ability to solve present day problems
and to furnish an economical solu
tion.
XVhen the supreme court o fthe
United States upheld the state courts
of Georgia in the suit of the state
against the Tennessee Copper com
pany and the Ducktown Copper, Sul
phur and Iron company and granted
an injunction, it became necessary
either to shut down the huge plants
or to render the fumes harmless,
A system has been devised where
by the copper fumes from these
great plants are to be used in the
manufacture of commercial sulphuric
acid, and the Independent Fertilizer
company, with a capital stock of SSO
- and combining 40 fertilizer
manufacturing plants throughout the
southern states, has been organized
to use the 300,000 tons of sulphuric
acid, which it is estimated will be
the annual output afforded by the
use of the Ducktown fumes.
J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. are to
be the underwriters o fthe new com
bination, and $30,000,000 of the stock
is to be issued at first, with the priv
ilege of increasing to the full amount
of $50,000,000 later. The est'mated
annual output of the corporation at
first is estimated at 1,000,000 tons of
fertilizers annually, which is to be in
creased as new companies are ab
sorbed until it is said that the ulti
mate output will total 2,000,000 tons
of fertilizers per year.
The new plant to handle the manu
facture of the acid is soon to be in
stalled at the Tennessee mines. It
is said that none of the companies
In the combination will in any way
curtail their products in order to
control the price, but that new com
panies will be asked to join the cor
poration as the supply of the acid in
creases.
Above al things the proposed plan
wil rid north Georgia of the poison
ous copper fumes that have so long
played havoc with the vegetation of
that part of the state, and at the
same time no hardship will be in
flicted upon the owners of the mines.
THE REAL FARMER
He Makes Every Move on the Theory
He Is in the Business for Life.
A wise edd merchant of Yorkville,
the late M. Strass, used to tell his
clerks: “It does not require a sales
man to sell a plug of tobacco. Any
body can do that. The sale is al
ready made in fact. The customer
merely calls for the tobacco and the
salesman only takes the money. The
real salesman Is the man who can
take op a useful article about which
the customer knows knothing, points
out its merits and its value and
make a sale.”
There is lots of valuable food for
thought, in this observation, which
can be applied with equal propriety
to various other lines of endeavor,
It does not take a farmer, for in
stance, to raise ten bushels of corn
on fresh, new ground. Anybody can
do that. The real farmer goes in
for making from forty to sixty bush
els cf corn on comparatively poor
land, and he does not think of stop
ping there. After raising the corn
he goes in for saving and utilizing
every penny of value that comes
with the crop. The corn, fodder,
shucks or stover, to hand, he does
not want to sell them as raw ma
terials, if instead he can put them
through horses, mules, cows, hogs
and pigs, and thus derive still great
er value from them. The real farm
er makes every move on the theory
that be is in the business for life,
and along with products that are di
rectly exchangable for money val
ues he looks out for things that
promise values in the future. The
possibilities open to the farmer—any
farmer —are limited only by his in
dustry, perseverance and capabilities.

The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study

necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you. ’ "
See what Mr. XV. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says:
“I planted about 30 acres of some ‘gray sandy land’ that had been in
cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Caro
lina Fertilizers per acre, and I expect to gather 30 bales from
the 30 acres." This -s why we say it is the right kind. We have
