(Redrawn after Mr. Williamson's diagram.) For 40-60 bushel yield, I would double the amount of mixed fertilizer, and also use 125 pounds of nitrate of soda, leaving corn 14^16 inches in driU, rows 6 feet apart. Clay land is said to require more phosphoric acid and less ; In the majority of experiments published prior to 1910, and made at the South Carohna, Alabama, and Georgia Experiment Stations, the yield of corn was less under the Williamson method than with the best of the methods with which it was compared and in which equal amounts of similar fertilizers were employed. However, when various modifications of the Williamson method have been applied by farmers, frequently without notably stunting the corn, large yields have often resulted, — as has likewise been the case when farmers have employed any other system.
