j. o. Hahn, of Sharon township
dropped in on us one day last week. He
says he has finished husklng corn and
that on the piece of land where he lives
it yielded fully forty bushels per acre
If the stand had been good it would
easily have made fifty or sixty bushels
per acre. Mr.. H. noticed when husk-
ing, that in parts of the field where the
stalks We're about 80 inches apart be
had more corn than where they were
closer. In places where the stand was
as thick as one stalk every II or IL
inches he thinks the yield was only
about one-half as large as in the bes,
parts of the field. Mr.. II. is firm in
the conviction that corn should not be
planted closer than one grain every a
inches, and if a stand is secured of one
stalk every 80 inches 1t is plenty thick
enough for the average land in this
county, especially when we remember
that almost every season is more OF
less dry.
