HAZLETON. March 9th. 1874

hhALEAON, NaTCu OLn, 10 ~.
! MIR. EDIToR:-As you invite through
your paper, reports Of what the farmers
are doing in the different parts of the
county, thought perhaps few words
from Superior Grange might be of some
interest to your numerous readers. We
are holding semi monthly discussions on
what is to us the most important of sub.
tects, namely, farming and its methods,
and my object in these few lines is to
give the views and experience of some of
our very best farmers on the subject of
contrasting.
| The discussion was opened by T. Kis.
singer, who thought that farmers would
do better If they farmed less acres and
did it better. For corn, he would plow
in the fall, and run over the ground in
the spring with seeder or harrow then
mark and plant small carly corn in rows
feet inches apart.
r. d. Miller fully concurred in the
above, except that he would plant 4 feet
apart just as early as possible, and do all
his narrowing after planting.
r. G. Jackson would pillow in spring,
very deep, plant az feet apart, then har.
row, and commence to cultivate rs soon
as the plants are above the ground.
F. Miguett would always pillow in
the fall. He would turn over the ground
in the spring with seeder, then mark and
plant feet 8 inches apart, in very
straight rows, and then thoroughly har-
row the ground both ways He would
plant yellow dent corn with red cob.
Was very particular about the color of
the cob, for he had observed that the ker-
nails grow much deeper on red, than white
cobs.
J. A. Miller would never plant until
the oak leaves started, as corn never
grows until warm weather. Fully con.
ours with the last gentleman with regard
to preparing ground, but would plant
feet apart. He thought the size more
than paid; would select red cob
Geo. Netcott fully agreed with the last
gentleman, except that he would plant
feet inches apart.
L. Spragg would plow deep in early
fall would mark one way with riding
cultivator, then cover with the same,
thereby cultivating the entire surface Of
the ground while planting. He would
plow very deep the first time through,
and shallower as the crop grew larger.
He favored planting shallow, with large
variety would plant feet apart.
N. NJ. Miguett would pillow in the fall,
mark and plant just as early as possible
in the spring, feet s inches apart, then
harrow thoroughly, right after planting.
Thought it better than two paintings after
the weeds get a start. Would plant with
hand planter.
A. Barron would plow in spring, very
deep. Favored late planting, that is
when the ground is thoroughly warm
He would plant yellow dent, very deep,
in rows feet apart, and cover with
hoe
B. II. Miller concurred with Barron,
except that he would plant carly in the
spring. He would sooner have two
frosts in his corn In the spring. than one
IN the fall before ripening. He would
plant streakcd corn, 4 feet apart and
cover with smudgcr. NJ

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS re-

ofthe sum asked for to complete the cen
