S. C. FARMER
HE RAISED CORN FOR
J. B. Harris, of South Carolina, Gives Results of Careful Com
parative Test of Williamson Plan, Against Which He Pitted
His Own System Made Good Yields n Both, But Beat the
Williamson Plan in Production and Net Profit Some Timely
Advice.
Mr. J. B. Harris, of Oconee
County, S. C, ast year planted two
plats of land to give a fair test of
the Williamson piau and the usual
method of cultivating corn, aid al30
to test whether a liberal Hmouucof
fertilizer could be profitably used on
com.
The land selected for this
purpose was level upland, which
had been in cultivation 15 year?.
It was cultivated in cotton the pre
vious year, making a bale per acre.
The land w;i3 no pet patch, and hud
no ,pi'ci;il improvement none ex
cept what it has received by a ivgu
liir systi'jn of luiatioiiof crops : Cut
tin followed by iwn and peas, io.-Ipwi-d
by o;iL-, ur wheat and pea".
The plat of land inula considrm
tiwii eoi.siin of two acres, lyin.t; aide!
by s:df, as near e'mal in fertility as!
was possible to Scuure. i.ucft acre
ivci-ived the same kind and ani uuit
of fertilizer, jous.Utinr of equal part
of acid pho.))hate, kainit and cotton
seed meal. S;x hundred pounds of
the mixture was used on each acre,
with 170 pounds of nitrate of soda
at laying-by time. Corn was gath
ered and weighed by two disinterest
ed parties.
We endeavored to ft How the Wil
liamson method to a dot in order to
give it a fair test. In order to dia
tinguish, we wi'l call Williamson
"No. 1," the other "No. 2." Both
acres were broken in Jauuary with
two-hor.se turn-plow, and harrowed.
No. 1 was laid off in rows G feet
wide on the 1st of April ai.d bedded
out with twc-hor.se turn plow ; corn
was planted in water-furrow 14
inches rpart ou April 10th, without
any feituizer, accordin
to that i
method. First cultivation consisted
of running weeder and Efaddle
cultivator over corn. On June 10th
I applied 300 pounds of fertilizer
next to corn in every alternate mid
dle and covered with small turn
plow. On June 18th, applied a
like amount in the same manuer in
the other middles, plowing the raid
ed les out with same plow ; June 18th
aided corn with 18-inch scrape ;
June 29th, applied 50 pounds nitrate
of soda in every alternate middle ;
July 2, treated the other middles in
like manner, sowing peas before the
plow. This cc mpleted cultivation.
July 19th, applied 70 pounds nitrate
of soda as top dressing.
Acre No. 2 Hows were laid off
with a iniddlejbttrster, 51 feet wide,
16 inches in the drill ; planted April
10th, after having applied 400
pounds of acid and kainit, and mix
ing it with the soil by running e
3-inch Bcooter in the furrows. Ran
weeder over corn May 10th. On May
25th. straddled the rows with culti
vator, following with Planet, Jr.,
cnlivator expanded, completing mid
dle at onn trip ; May 28th, aided with
heel scrape and thinned ; May 31st,
applied 200 pounds cotton seed meal
and covered witn one iurrow oi
inch scooter ; June 10th, sided with
flcrape; June 18th, one trip to each
middle with wide ecrape; June zsn
aided with wide scrape, and applied
100 pounds nitrate of soda; sowed
peas and plowed them in witn cum
vator expanded, so as to complete a
middle at one trip, which laid it oy
level.' On July 19th I applied 70
pounds nitrate of soda on this acre
uiso, but I might say that I don't
believe th'.a w.-t application adtW a

Ueelile fur Yourself.
We will leave th matter to your
readers to decide for themselves
whether or not they can afford to
raise cotton to make the money to
pay $1 ptr bushel for the Western
farmer's corn and 15 cents for his
meat.
We remember reading an article
some' time since by a farmer who
made the ass. rtiou that he could
raise corn cheaper than he could ar
range to haul it ten miles if it were
given to him. I thought at the
time that he was a member of, or at
1 iM ah a fit-. aiiViiMpt. fm- flia A .,,.
Club," but my mind has under
gone somewnatof a change since. '
We urge every farmer who h.sa't
already done so, to take at least one
or two acres and make the test and
prove to himself how much per ucre
and how cheap he can grow corn.
Then he will stop hauling Western
corn.
We appeal to t he farmers of our
county who spend so much time
"cussing the meat trust, the grain
trust, the hay trust, and all other
trusts, to stop patronizing them and
raise those things at home. Why
should he worry about the high price
of farm products when he has plenty
tor himselt and some for his neigh
bors r Do yon see the point r
Now is the grandest opportunity
ever presented to the Southern far
mer who makes farming a "busi
ness. With farm products of all
kinds bringing remunerative, and
some fancy prices, it ia only for the
southern farmer to grasp the oppor.
tunity and make the most of it, for,
as we see it, prosperity is just now
dawning on the Southern cotton
slave. It is evident that we cannot
only make "two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before, but a
dozen blades of grass, a dozen ears
of corn, to grow where but one grew
before, and all other crops in propor
tion and the end is not yet in Bight

of July, this being the determina
tion reached by the State Executive
Committee last Thursday night at
its meeting in Ealeigh, Charlotte
winning out over Greensboro by a
vote or 33 to jji, while Haleigh,
saying it wan not prepared this year
to take care of the convention as it
desired, gave notice that it would be
prepared in 1912 to do this in hand
some style and would urge the con
vention to meet there at that time.
The precinct meetings are called
for June 25th and the county Con
ventions to elect delegates to the
state and district Conventions will
be held in the various counties
July 2nd.
Ie3ides this the State Commit'ce
adopted a revised plan of party

Does it not si'eui strange that to
many people suffer year in aud year

A 25-ceut bottle of a simple wash
stops the itch and will surely com
vince any patient.
This wash ia composed of mild
and soothing oil of wintergreen
mixed with thymol and glycerine,
etc., aud known, as D. D. I), pre
scription. We do not know how
long the D. 1). D. L"beratonea will
continue the 25 cent offer, as the
remedy is regularly sold in $1.00
bottles and has never before been
put on the market on any special
offers.

Cattle (tuurai)tiue.
Tne department of Agriculture
will soon issue new regulations gov
erning movement of cattle, under
quarantine on ncoouht of Texas cr
tick fever, which will go into effect
Apr.l 1st. The new regulations per
mit cattle to be shipped from the
quarantined section if properly dip
ped under government supervision.
the dip is on arsenical Haiti, as well
as crude petroleum which has here
tofore been used. Experiments in
dicate the method of treatment as
sufficiently effective for interstate
movement other than immediate
slaughter. The area under quaran
tine has been reduced more than
80,000 square miles during the past
three years aud as the work pro
gresses the quarantine will be re
moved from additional territory.
Still neck is caused by rheumatism of the
muscles of the neck. It is usually cod fined
to one side, or to the back of the neck and
one side. While it ia often quite painful,
quick relief may be had by applying Cham
berlain s Liniment. Mot one case oi rheu
matism in ten requires internal treatment.
When there is no fever and no swelling as
ia muscular and chronic rheumatism, Cham
berlain's Liniment will accomplish more
than any internal treatment. For sale by all
