bountiful providence has provided.
Old man Solomon hit the nail ON the
head three thousand years ago when
he gave utterance to the proverb that
runs thus:
''There is that scattereth and yet in
creaseth, and there is that withhold
eth more than is meet, but id tendeth
to poverty"
This suits the farmer of today just
as we'll as ever it did if not more.

For the Florida Agriculturist.
Wide VS.. Marrow Corn Rows.

Farmers in this vicinity frequently
hill, four feet each way, thus giving
an average of about sixteen square
feet for each stalk of corn. Thus ar
ranged, counting 100 stalks for a
bushel of corn, an acre will produce
a little over 81 bushels.
Now if the rows be eight feet apart
and the stalks one foot apart in the
drill we still have a stalk for every
eight square feet. Consequently there
will be double the number of stalks
with capacity for over 81 bushels per
acre.
1t has heretofore been shown that
corn, planted in drills three feet apart
and seven inches in the drill on land
that was heavily fertilized and thor
oughly broken to sixteen inches deep,
cared we'll producing 149 bushels and
two quarts per acre. There was stalk
here for every 1s4 square feet (not feet
square). AIT this rate an acre will con-
tain over four and half times as
many stalks as the eight feet rows.
Consequently corn should never be so
planted as to contain more than eight
square feet for each stalk of corn. AS
the land becomes richer the distance
in the drill may be reduced to six
inches, thus raising the capacity of
an acre to 1O8 bushels.
An important advantage of the eight
feet rows is that at least three times
the quantity of loose earth can be pre-
pared for each stalk of corn that can
be if the same number of stalks be
planted in four feet rows. A strip
from two to three feet wide midway
between the wide rows may be plow-
ed deep at every blowing, thus afford
ing a much needed protection against
drouth. Consequently, other things
being equal, the wide rows Will pro-
duce more corn than is possible with
the narrow rows.
Another important advantage is
that peas can be drilled and cuIuvat-
ed, there being alternately a row of
corn and row of peas, which W.
reduce the rows to ;, ~ 'eetls y.g -
If tt anLs-r' -
