Corn Experiment by Dr. John Gordon. 



Healing Springs, Washington County, Alabama. 



Soil — Sanely loam. Sub-soil about the same. 

 Rows 70 yards long — 5 feet Avide. 



Dr. Gordon makes the following statement about his ex- 

 periment : "The experiment was almost a complete failure 

 in consequence of the dry weather in May and June, and the 

 excessive rains in July and August. I followed instructions 

 in preparing land and cultivating crop. Planted corn Apr 

 6th in 5 feet rows. Plowed May the 7th, thinned to a 

 stand and sided up on the 17th. Plowed with heel scrape 

 June 12tli, planted peas and put down the other 250 lbs 

 fertilizer at this time."
