from his notes:
The land on which this corn was
raised had been seeded TO alfalfa for
fifteen years and In the spring Of the
year was broken up and prepared for
the crop. The corn was planted the
9th Of April. The earlier the corn ia
planted the better II the ground is
warm enough to germinate the seed.
Yellow dent corn was used as II gener-

white corn will bring larger results and
Is more generally planted.
This corn was planted thick with a
onehorse drill and then as soon as II
came through the grount IL was har-
rowed. The corn was planted little
too thick for the best results aud

are essential to good plants. Men
who look below the surface realize
these facts. They know also that

the extent Of air, water and nourish-
ment given its roots. Thus is the new
