FavOrs Drilling Corn

In conversation with one of the
good corn growers Of this county re-
Gently it was learned that he drills
his corn instead of check rowing it,
and sets his planter to bring rows
three feet, two inches apart,si inches
closer than the customary width be-
tween rows. This makes it possible
to plant five half mile row on each
acre. He uses the same plate he for
merly used in check rowing, but, by
drilling and having the rows closer he
gets more seed planted to the acre,
while giving each individual stalk
ample room to develop. He claims
that in cultivating, the space between
rows being narrower, the shovels 40
much more thorough work. His plan,
during the early patt Of the season be-
fore the corr gets too high, is to go
cross rows with a weeder Immediately
after going the long way with the
cultivator. 1t is quite likely that we
injure corr by tearing its roots by too
deep %cultivating. When corr is
checked we are enabled to tear up the
roots on four sides Of the stalk, while
in the drilled row we can only get at
two sides. Another advantage OF
drilling is that the planter can follow
close after the pillow packing the seet
into the moist soil before it has I
chance to dry out.
