II. REDWOOD 2c CO. Vf. H. Dorin of Clover. Halifax I county, Va., at. the New York land show, , this past fall, won the Inter national Harvester company's 1000 silver cup offered for the best SO ears of corn In the United States. There were thousands of corn groWers In the competition, a majority of them from the north and west. Mr. Dorin a few years ago represented the At lantic Bttulithic company In Asheville, and Is well remembered by many Asheville poeple. In course of a let ter' to The Gasette-News he says: "Several years ago, to be exact six years ago I . heard a noted speaker say. that Virginia had an acreage of about 25,000,800 and that land , was selling from $10. to $20 . for good farms, he said that only about 4,000, 000 acres was under cultivation, and while I had never farmed and knew nothing whatever about the cultiva tion of the soil I decided Iwould buy a poor old worn-out farm as the say ing goes and try my hand at improve ments. I soon found by actual exper- ! lence that the land Is not worn out nor- Is It poor, but that man Is to blame for all the- conditions of the poor old soil. .' "For the first two or three years I tried to spread out over too much acreage .and .about three years, ago I decided to commence Intensive cultl vation for a few acres rather than skipping over many. The first year I took the farm my father was living and while I was on the road he car ried out my suggestions and we oh tained a few ears of pure bred Boohe county corn and started to breeding up a variety of our own, and each year It has steadily Improved. "In the fall of 1909 I took one acre especially,, although I treated several others in the same way, but this one acre we ploughed about ; 10 inches deep with a William J. Oliver No. 11 turning plow and In the same furrow we ran one of their .wooden beam sub-soil plows and put ,thla dwn about 12 -to 14 Inches . more, using three, big 1200-pound mules on the sub-soiler and two big mules or horses on the turning plow. This land Is a sandy loam and has a top soil about eight to 10 Inches deep, and under that is a hard red clay, very susceptible- to permanent Improvement and containing a large quantity of potash. if it is only made available-. , I am sure no one had ever .flowed this land over six inches deep In its history; but we thoroughly broke the land to a depth of 23 to 24 Inches. . This was In the late fall, and In the early spring we thoroughly harrowed It and at Inter vals of every 10 days., we ran the double cutaway Buabsp & Qibbs. har row over It. In March we put down about two tons of finely ground burned lime to the acre, and thoroughly har rowed that In and used' 800 pounds of IS per cent , acid, phosphate per acre. v i. 'May 1. we harrowed it for the last time before plantingi and on May S we planted the pure Boone county seed rows four teettaeart and about it to 12 Inches apart -4a the row. We cultivated this corn, i six or seven times and at the fast working about August 15 we seeded 15 pounds of crimson clover to the acre and gath ered 13$ bushels of fine corn per acre. "In the spring of . 1911 we again ployed It deep with the William J. Oliver plow, turning under the rank green crimson clover and usod only 300 pounds of Thomas phosphate (Imported by the Coe-Mortimer Co., of Charleston, S. C.) just before plant ing the corn, then we used 300 more when the corn was knee high. I would suggest right here that one can safe ly use up to 2000 pounds of Thomas phosphate without Jnjury to the corn and great results will be obtained. We had a bad midsummer drouth which affected all the corn in this section, but at harvesting we Gathered 137 bushels per acre. .- "Now I want to say a word to those who are after a big yield and also advise as to how much fertiliser can be safely used on an acre without In jury to the foliage, i I would suggest the following plan: "One month before planting. 3000 pounds Thomas phosphate, harrowed In thoroughly. "At planting time 400 pounds muri ate potash, 400 pounds fish guano, ' "First working, 200 pounds nitrate soda, 200 pounds kainlt. "Last Working, 200 pounds nitrate soda, 200 pounds kainlt, and .at the last working I would seed 16 pounds crimson clover1 per acre and with gopd soil to start with and thorough cul tivation the man should get .upwards of 200 bushels per acre. "This story was not - written with any idea of personal gain, -Jar without one bit of advertising other than read ing notices which cannot be purchas ed, I have had 687 Inquiries about seed corn and do not expect to have much more for sale; but I want to warn the planter I jout poor seed. It it Is possible I would suggest that the planter get his seed on the ear and test out every ear by making him a testing box and testing at least six grains from each ear, or the man you buy the seed of will do this for .'you if you want him to If you wilt give him time and opportunity to do so at least I have always done this for those who were not In position to do so themselves and have guaranteed every ear I sent out to germinate. "I am not in this business- to 'sell Thomas phosphate nor William J. Oliver plows, but when I And a good thing and I know It will benefit my neighbor I will tell him so; and when I And something that will harm him I will also name names and be frank about it, but I can cheerfully recom mend, the Coe-Mortimer company of Charleston, S. C, and the William J. Oliver Plow company of Knoxville, Tenn. . ! ' . ' v Only One "BROMO QUININE" That is LAXATIVE BROMO QUI NINB. Look for the signature of E. W. Grove.

New York, Dec. 22 Fluctuations of stocks were small when trading was resumed today. Changes mostly were restricted to small fractions. Prices were on the down-grade at 11 o'clock. The nearness of the three days' holiday In the stock market re stricted trading to smalt proportions during the morning.. An undertone of heaviness prevailed' in the I second hour. Losses in leading issues were unimportant . Cotton Steadies After Early Decline. New York, Dec. 22. -The cotton market .opened steady at a decline, of 2 to 7 botnts today and sold 7 to 12 points net lower during early trad ing.
