THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. 



had larger ears at gathering time the first 

 two lots had nothing but nubbins. 



I tried the same experiment last year, 

 and the result was the same. I would re- 

 commend sowing the guano on the corn 

 broad-cast, when laying it by, as the best 

 method of using it. It makes a good crop 

 of corn, and helps the crop of wheat also. 

 Yours, Respectfully, 

 A Citizen of Buckingham.
