Peas were late in ripening, which prevented the gather- 

 ing of the corn until September 25th. 



Corn Experiment by Mr. F. W. Bradley. 



Walker Springs, Clarke Co., Ala. 



Soil — Sandy with red clay sub-soil. 

 Rows 70 yards long — 5 feet wide. 



Mr. Bradley says that the land on which the experiment 

 was made was old sandy soil never before fertilized. Broke 

 the land deep broad cast, laid off rows as directed and ap- 

 plied 250 lbs. fertilizers at time of planting which was Mar. 

 27th. Failed to get a stand and planted again April 14th, 

 and failing again, replanted the second time April 26th, 

 when a good stand was secured. Thinned to one stalk to 

 the hill. First plowing was done with shovel and sweep. 

 Used the other 250 lbs. fertilizer at second plowing. Plowed 

 corn every two weeks. Injured very much from drought.
