art who has had but one years expert
ence. thinks he would favor the smaller
dent varieties, drilled with kernels far
enough apart 80 as to grow small ears,
would avoid the kinds that grow large
stalks and few leaves.
"The Moons Influence" Mrs Evans
never considered the changes of the
moon for planting, but read an enter
tanning article along these lines setting
forth that all roots such as potatoes,
beets, peanuts, ETC., growing under the
