Corn Experiment by Mr. J. C. Ott. 



Florence, Lauderdale Co., Ala. 

 Soil — Gray and gravelly — sub-soil, clay. 

 Eows 70 yards long — 5 feet wide.

 which was broken flush last fall, and this in connection with 

 favorable seasons after the crop started off, is the reason why 

 there is so little difference between the manured and unma- 

 nured plots.
