An experiment in corn planting by the
Iowa college last year, la three separate
paintings, all put In the same day MAY 6),
each plat being 100 square yards, resulting
as follows: The plat in which the hills
were three feet ten lLches by twelve inches
apart, with one stalk in q hill, produced at
the rate of G00G bushels per acre; the plat
planted three feet ten inches by twenty
inches apart IN the hills, and two stalks TO
a hill, produced at the rate of titty-seven
bushels to the acre; and the third plat,
planted three feet ten inches each way,
with four stalks to the hill, produced only
at the rate of fifty bushels 10 the acre. This
is an important fact to know. The expert
ment was conducted with the utmost care
tor the express purpose of decdlnga ques.
ton which has always given Use to great
deal Of discussion, alike as to the proper
distances between the hills and the rows,
as well as the number of stalks in q hill.
Twelve inches distance bet NCcn the hills
would be almost equal to four grams in a
hill at three feet ten inches apart, and prac.
uCally amounts to drilling, which of course
would demand additional labor IN remov-
ing the weeds and cultlvatlng the soil be
tween the hills with the hand hoe as the
crop could be narrowed only one way.
Watcher the extra bushels would pay the
additional cost of labor we do not pretend
to answer, though the established belief is
that 1t will not, and that is the reason why
so few farmers adopt the drilling system.
