Corn Experiment by Mr. Jno. C. Killebrew. 



Newton, Dale County, Alahama. 



Soil — Sandy loam, red clay sub-soil. 

 Rows 70 yards long, 5 feet wide. 



Mr. Killebrew reports the following : Planted corn March 

 1st, killed by freeze and planted over. But for spring 

 drought, and with 10 per cent, less of stalks, would have 

 made 20 per cent, more of corn. As it was, crop fired badly. 

 Seasons were extreme, first cold, then dry, and then rain for 

 forty days in succession, and August 2d, a heavy rain and 

 wind storm, levelling much of the corn to the ground and 

 rendering the fodder worthless.
