Experts Give Pointers
On How to Plant Corn
REPRESENTATIVE OF BETTER
FARMING ASSOCIATION GIVES
VALUABLE HINTS.

Grand Forks, May l5.-In discuss
ing the corn crop in a speech
at Grand Forks recently, a represen
tative of the Better Farming Associa,
, ton gave some pointers upon corn
planting which may not come amiss
at this season. Among other things
he said the corn should be planted in
hills. Sometimes it may be necessary
to use hand planter or hoe for a
small acreage. 1t Is best, however, to
plant the corn with the ordinary corn
planter. Use a planter with a check
row attachment. The planter will
drop all corn at a more uniform depth
and if corn is carefully graded, will
drop it more uniformly than would
be possible with the ordinary hand
planter. The best distance apart for
the rows is either Sit. s inches or 3
#, 6 inches. If the planter is set for
8 it. 8 inches, plant at this distance
rather than to change it to 5 it. s
inches. In most sections Of the state
planting corn 3 it. inches apart in
rows is found most satisfactory.
The depth to plant corn varies with
soil conditions. AS a general rule, it
should be planted down to moisture.
but preferably not more than two or
three inches. This depth varies with
conditions. Plant shallower III al
heavy than in light soil. The soil
must be studied at planting time to
determine what is best depth.
Corn should be planted as soon as
the ground is warmed up, but late
enough so that there are not likely |
to be number of late spring frosts |!
which will catch the crop. In the corn
contest of last year the most success !
full growers planted their corn be- ,
tween the 9Th and 18th of May, the /
greatest majority about May 10th. !
The number of kernels which should !,
be planted to the hill depends upon
the size Of the corn that is grown and
the richness of the land. The yarie.
ties that are generally grown in this |
state should be planted at the rate Of
kernels to the hill. The tip and
butt kernels should be separated
from the remaining kernels of the ear.
These are of odd sizes and will not
plant as uniformly as will those from
the center Of the ear. 1t is also advis-
able to grade the corn so that it will
be of fairly uniform size. This can
often be done by using one of the
large size screens in the ordinary
farm tanning mill. The essential
thing to bear in mind is to get the
kernels"as nearly uniform as possible
so that the planter will handle them
to the best advantage.
After the corn is planted it should
be narrowed one or twice to kill any
weeds that may be started. After the
corn is once in it is not advisable to
use the harrow on it. Every effort
should be made to preserve a good
stand Of corn.

Zanders, the Chicago printer, failed
to stand up under the punches of Gus
Christie, Milwaukee middleweight,
here last night. and finally sank to
the canvas in the fourth round after
taking a good beating. He was count
ed out.
In the first round Christie shot over
rights and lefts in rapid succession
and easily gained a shade. Zanders
nearly took the count in the second
round. He wilted under the body
punches that poured into his midsec-
ton, and staggered TO his corner
when the bell sounded. He made a
better showing in the next session
and held Christie even. In the fourth
round Christie put over right TO the
jaw and Zanders was counted out.

Jack Redmond earned a shade over
Eddie Gordon. The smallest crowd
