How Hooker Grows Corn From Anthony Republican. Crisfield, Feb. 22, Anthony Republican. Dear Sir: It reply to your favor of the 20th regarding my corn crop for 1901, I will say that: Nature of Soil: The land is sandy loam, bottom land, only from six to twelve feet to sheet water. Time of Planting and Varieties: began listing April 29th and finished planting May 29th.

Varieties were Big Yellow Dent, Red Strawberry and Blue How Caltivated: We began cultivating May 23d, used disc sleds, steel harrow and riding cultivators; quit cultivating August 3d; went over corn from four to five (times during the season. Did not quit for the drouth, just kept right on cultivating. Any Help from Local Showers? We did not have any rains to help crops. Acreage and Yield: We had 190 acres in corn and husked over 4200 bushels, a little over 24 bushels to the acre. Would have made an average of 30 bushels to the acre it I could have had more help in cultivating.

We were very short of help; nearly all the cultivating was done by two little boys, eleven and twelve years old, and myself. Quality of Corn Raised: Corn is good quality; will weigh out one bushel to the inch, wagon box measure. Have sold 1500 bushels, a great part of which will be used for seed. How Ahout Results on Adjoining Farms? I think there were other fields that did as well as mine, where soil was similar and cultivation equal. The reason for diflerence was chiefly owing to date of planting, soil and cultisation.

Corn planted very early does not average so well as corn planted in May, soil is warm. Corn should never be laid by until after July 4th; that is, all com should have one cultivation in July. In conclusion I will say that I have planted twenty crops of cern in this county, and raised corn--good, fair corn- every year. My poorest crops were caused by poor cultivation. My only fear is weedsnot drouth or hot winds.

Very truly, 0. O. HOOKER. The (above farm lies in the Great Sharon Valley, in Harper county most of which is in the hands of the Great Southwestern Exchange of this city, for sale. For farther particulars regarding th'e land, address, THE GRRAT SOUTHWESTERN EXCHANGE, South Haven, Kansas.
