Of them have been gathered to their
fathers. There are only about 10000
homesteads Of 100 acres each that will

thing last year by conversing with a
great many farmers, and that is that
as rule the farmers plant their corn
too thick. Within the past twelve
months we printed what scores of our
best farmers said on that subject, all

and west and plant about half as
thick as you have formerly planted
and If anybody raises corn you will.
