An Interesting Corn Crop. 
W. B. Winter & Son, of Kecsevllle, N. 
Y., write: "This Spring we purchased 
500 pounds of Bowker’s Hill and Drill 
Phosphate to use on our corn, using a 
horse planter with fertilizer attachment. 
We set the machine to use 160 pounds to 
the acre. The field measured something 
over four acres, and the fertilizer held 
out for a little over three acres; the 
balance of the field had none. All of 
the field, however, had a dressing of 
stable manure plowed in. When the 
corn first came up the whole field looked 
alike, but in a few days the part where 
the phosphate was used began to take a 
dark green color. At the first hoeing it 
was twice as large and kept growing all 
the time. The dilDference in the field 
could be seen for half a mile. On Sep¬ 
tember 1, when we went through the 
field, the corn was so tall we could not 
reach the top of the stalks. The field 
is beside the highway and was the talk 
of the town. This has been a very poor 
corn year in this section on account of 
the cold weather, but Bowker’s Ferti¬ 
lizer has saved the crop for us and we 
cannot recommend it too highly. Where 
the fertilizer was used the corn husked 
out 383 bushels; the balance of the field 
did not amount to anything. We are 
proud of this yield, and are sure our 
success was in a great measure due to 
Bowker’s Fertilizer, as this part of the 
field ripened earlier and was the only 
part of the field where we got any corn.”
