Red loam soil — red clay sub-soil. 

 Rows 70 yards long — 5 feet wide. 



Mr, Dick says that on the 19th and 20th of May a cold 

 spell injured the corn very much, at which time plot 1 was 

 twelve inches high, vigorous and green, and plot 2 was 

 four inches high, yellow and not vigorous. Plot 2 was not 

 damaged so much as the other plot, it being less forward. 

 Mr. Dick remarks that one thing developed, "that Sand 

 Mountain soil will stand as heavy fertilizing as river or creek 

 bottoms, so far as moisture is concerned."
