Corn Experiment by Mr. G. W. Compton. 



Wayne, 3farengo Co., Ala. 



Soil — Dark sandy with clay subsoil. 

 Rows 70 yards long — 5 feet wide. 



Mr. Compton writes : "I planted corn Mar. 16th, at which 

 time I put in one-half the fertilizers. Corn came up and 

 looked well until the last of April. Rains were plentiful 

 until the 19th of April. On May the 12th a light shower 

 fell, at which time I applied the other half of fertilizers, 

 and there was no more rain until the 19th of July, which 

 made 67 days without rain. The fertilized corn burned up 

 to the ear. The crop is about one-half what it would have 

 been with seasons.
