Albemarle, Sept. 11—A.F. Mabry of the Norwood section in Stanly county obtained a total yield of 468 bushels of wheat from a 14-acre field without the use of any commercial fertilizer, County Agent O. H. Phillips reports. A crop of crimson clover was turned under in the spring of 1925 and 400 pounds of 16 per cent acid was broadcast before planting corn. The wheat was sown last fall after the corn had been harvested, Mr. Phillips said. Mr. Mabry is now planning to use this rotation and fertilization on all of his wheat land.
