Of this great crop grown with the Mapes Corn Manure exclusively, the American Agriculturist says, page 126, March number : “ If 
we allow only $Lo as the value of the tops for fodder, and make no account of bottom-stalks, the cost comes within twenty cents a * 
bushel (shelled corn).” 
The largest crop grown with fertilizers other than the Mapes (45 crops in all) was 84 bushels (chemically dried, 60 bushels).

[From The Rural New-Yorker, February 18, 1893.] 
A. BIO CORN YIELD. 
J Van Loon, La Crosse County, Wis.— On a sod plowed one year ago last fall 100 pounds of corn fertilizer *per acre were broadcasted last spring, and in order 
to be able to know the effect a larger quantity would have, a tablespoonful extra per hill was thoroughly mixed with the soil; on the next row to this the same 
quantity of pure F.orida phosphate was applied and corn planted. Evidently the phosphate had no effect whatever, but from the third day after the corn had started 
to grow the effect was noticeable all through the season on the portion that bad received the fertilizer, and since, as I told The Rural last year, I wished to grow 100 
bushels of corn per acre if possible, imagine my surprise when by actual measurement we husked 125 bushels per acre. Eighty-three bushels per acre had been the 
largest crop of corn I had ever raised before this, and I had always wished to see a larger crop somewhere. To tell the truth, I had doubted that it could he done at 
all by any one ; we had read accounts of such large yields, but the places where they were said to have been grown were a long way from where I raised corn ; but 
when The Rural said : “ We have raised considerably more than that per acre,” I worked harder than ever to accomplish my object.
