 and in making roads on the farm. 



1910. 



Improvements. — Nearly all the land on the farm had been cleared 

 in previous years. Considerable time and money were expended this 

 spring in terracing the unterraced land to prevent washing, under- 

 draining with tile a small area which was wet and unproductive 

 from this cause, and in grading and making farm roads ; in fenc- 

 ing and putting out pasture for the colts and hogs ; in seeding and 

 making lawn around the house and barns, painting buildings, white- 

 washing, etc. 



Crops and Yields. — 20 acres of cotton produced 22 bales at a 

 cost of $32 per acre. The cotton was more heavily fertilized this 

 year than in previous ones, the amount being at the rate of 600 

 pounds per acre of a mixture containing 10 per cent phosphoric 

 acid, 2 per cent nitrogen and 2 per cent of potash, except where 

 manure was used or peas grown, when the quantity of nitrogen wa^; 

 reduced. This yield of cotton included the plat or experimental 

 work of about five acres, the yield on a portion of which was very 

 small, on account of the character of the tests which were being 

 made. 



32 acres of corn produced 1,140 bushels and about 34 tons of 

 stover, the cost of the corn being 33 cents per bushel.
