To double a crop in one year sounds like a pretty big proposi tion. Under certain conditions that might be impossible. Were our conditions and methods of treating this all important and valuable crop in the South to remain as hereto fore there would be no use of pre paring this article. If the reader is thoroughly set in his ways and determined to follow them regard less of where they will lead or at what cost it may not pay to read this. However, progressive farm ers, the kind that will make the South what it should be, may get something from it. The South stands low in corn production, both as to extent of acreage and acre yield. It shoudd stand high, climate is favorable, proper management of soils will make them suitable, attention to seed will give suitable varieties and types, cultivation will do the rest. While the average acre yield is low there are cases on record in next best plan now is to take pl. r.tv of time and secure kr(Mhj oan ,)f good variety. A variety ra.i under your own soil Rnl i lunatic conditions should g,vn the pre ference, provided of cours. that it has given good results. As a kn eral proposition a mtviium sized to small prolific variety will give let ter yields of grain and nearly a,s much fodder as the larger stalked single-eared varieties. After the variety to le grown is determined, reject all exceptionally large and small ears, selectu k' only those of medium or a little sU.ve medium in size, and slightly taper ing from butt to tip. with smooth, oven straight, uniformly tilled rows, with butts and tij well covered with good, well developed j 7;, kernels, medium sied o.h with fairly large and square kernels are 4 I.

A good corn soil must contain lots of humus, it must have a suf ficient depth to afford root space from which they may feed and dram moi&turo. The soil must be reasonably tine and well pulverized.

We are now up to the planting time and as yet we have not writ ten a word in regard to the W il liamson or any other special plan, and it is not the object of this pa per to do so. The plan we want to see followed is the one that un der environments of the individual farmer will give hinj the biggest yield at the lowest cost per bushel. If the Williamson method wdl do that, then follow it. If some other fills your crib at lowest cost follow that. But whatever you do this year fill J'our corn crib at as low a cost as possible.
