Capt. William Kelly, secretary OF

In the summer OF 1855, Mr.. Kelly
says. he was plotting the steamer
Stella Whippls whom the water was
four inches lower than II u now. The
boat WAS towing two barHos down
the stream. but got stuck on the
crossing at Robinson's rocks, II miles
below st. Paul.
captain Kelly says he Waded into
the river ahead Of the boat to locate
the best place to drop anchor and pull
the boat over the bar. The water
was ten inches deep, and the best
enamel was located by WAdinE. and
Captain Kelly returned to the boat
without wettinE 4 stitch OF his cloth.
Ing.
The method of pulling the boats
over shoal crossings was to carry the
anchor out In a yawl ahead OF the
steamer, drop It to the bottom of the
river and pull the bont over by a line
attached to the anchor and to the cap
stan OF the boat.
When all was ready the passengers
were transferred TO the barEes to
Tighten the boat. The run was then
made without diff Guilty till the next
crossing was reached, when the

A Perfect Stand.

A perfect stand of corn is moi
easily defined. It varies in diff
ferent ATTITUDES. 1t varies with
different longitudes. 1t varies
with the quality of the soil, and
it varies with the season. The
variation of the season can not
be foreseen, because it depends
on the rainfall.
The farmer should aim to grow
as many stalks to the acre as the
soil and season will bring to per.
lection. In a normal season, in
some sections of the country, a
perfect stand would be four
stalks to the hill on a three-foot-
eight-inch planter. In a dry
season, however, this would be
too many, even on the best soils.
In the latitude of Illinois and
Iowa it is, in our judgement, UNI
safe to plant more than three
stalks to the hill on the three
foot-eight or the three-foot-six
planter. If the season should be
dry, especially in July and Aug
ust, this would be too many.
Three stalks to the hill of corn
that is certain to grow would be
all right for eastern Kansas and
Nebraska, but farther west we
believe this is too many. AS
you go farther south, the DISPOSE
tion among farmers is to have
the rows farther apart, four feet,
and in the extreme south five.
In the extreme south the FIVE
foot row with corn drilled at say
a stalk to the foot gives excel
lent results, and has this advan-
tage, that the cultivation can be
continued much later. On or
binary soils, in ordinary seasons,
we would not care to plant more
than three stalks to the hill with
the ordinary planter, and in dry
seasons this would be too much.
Again, much depends on the
use you intend to make of the
corn. If you expect to harvest
the entire crop, you can plant
thicker than if you intend to
husk it out of the shock. Husk-
ing nubbins is rather poor BUSH
ness; but when the corn crop is
harvested, put in the silO or fed
out Of the shock, Il mattsrs little
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1911-05-18

whether the ears are large or
small, provided you have the
same amount of corn to the acre;
hence three and one-half or four
in sections of larger rainfall are
permissible. If you are plant
ing for silage, and wish bulk
rather than richness in grain,
you can afford to plant quite
thick.
Again, it is not safe to plant
a hillside with a southern ex-
posture, except on very rich land,
as thick as you would plant one
with an eastern exposure, or on
level land or bottom land-for
the reason that on the exposure
first mentioned your corn is more
likely to fire in a dry time in
July and August than it is on
any other exposure.
Therefore, we can not say that
any certain number of stalks per
acre is a perfect stand for all
sections of the country. A per-
feet stand is a full stand of the
stalks you plant; but the thick
ness of planting per hill or per
acre, in drills or in rows adapted
for cross blowing, must be deter
minen by the farmer himself in
the light of his own experience.
You can not expect an eighty
bushel crop of corn, unless you
get more than two stalks to the
hill on the ordinary planter used.
Judge of the quality of your
land, then prepare your seed bed
with a view to conserving all
the moisture available, and plant
the number of kernels you think
your land will stand and for
which it will provide plant food.
