 than drilling the fertilizer. 



2 YAKIETIES, CULTUKE, AND FERTILIZATION^ OF CORN 

 ON" COASTAL PLAIN SANDY LOAM SOILS. 



Experiments have been conducted for fifteen years with varieties of 

 com on the sandy loam soil of the Edgecombe Test Farm. These re- 

 sults have been given in detail in the bulletins of this Department. On 

 basis of these results and other information which we have, the sugges- 

 tions below are given for the culture and fertilization of corn on the 

 sandy and sandy loam soils of the Coastal Plain Region and the varieties 

 of corn which are best suited to them. 



Corn is an exhaustive crop on the soil, especially so when the stover is 

 also removed. On basis of present prices of fertilizer one bushel of
