 last fall on his excellent 320 acre farm, 

 believes in making good land better. 

 The top record that day of 1 1.192 

 bushels of corn by the county champion 

 Donley Martin, was due in part to the 

 wonderful held of corn on this tarni. 



The Bruch farm has been completely 

 limed and the contest field was man- 

 ured and rock phosphated at the cus- 

 tomary rate of l.OOO pounds per acre. 

 The corn ripened exceptionally well 

 and had a be.iutilul lustre for which 

 Mr. Bruch gives credit to the phos- 

 phate. 



That soil treatment pays is pro\en 

 again on this farm by the yield on a 

 lO-acre plot in the state corn yield con- 

 test. Planted to hybrid, it officially 

 shucked out 1.2.Vi bushels of No 2
