formed by one whom he knew to be
a good farmer that he had planted
wheat Is inches between the rows and
three inches apart in the rows, one
grain in place, and had harvested S4
bushels to the acre, he planted small
plot to wheat on September 20, 1s9S.
on hard clay soil that was manurcd
in the spring and planted to straw
berries. The planting was six inches
apart in the row between the straw
berry rows. Two rows he planted one
grain to the hill; one row two grains
to the hill. He gave the wheat one
cultivation on April "A. The average
number of heads to the hill in the
rows planted one grain to the hill was
IS large heads. The largest number
of heads to single grain was 30,
which gave yield of 2,O97 grains. The
row with the two grains to the hill
gave an average of 10 heads to the hill.
The greatest yield was SO heads to the
hill, which gave yield of 2,035 grains
Sc less than the one grain hill. The
yield was at the rate of log bushels

April "a, planting six inches apart, one
grain to the hill, and cultivated four

175 bushels to the acre, providing the
planting was done ~ by 6 inches.
He has raised as many as As large
heads from single grain, when
planted six by six inches apart one
grain in a hill, and in 1897 he had two
hills of rye, one of which yielded 126
heads and the other 1877 heads, each
grown from q single grain. The plants
