Fargo, March 13.-Plants for the
Equity plant, which will be erected
here this coming summer at a coost of
100000, will be completed within
four or six weeks, and just as soon as
ethe ground plans have been finished
work of eXcavating will start. which is
expected to be in about four weeks
The entire plant will be completed
and in operation this coming fall, the

The buildings, which will be sew
eral in number and will be built along
the Northern Pacific, just this side OF

a capacity Of 1000 hogs and 200 cattle
daily and a large cold storage and

Department Of Agriculture that may
aid In securing, as far as possible, the
proper number Of plants to the acre:
The best distribution Of plants over
the land Is obtained by making the
distances between single plants In the
row and the distances between rows
the same. With such an equal dis
tribution, the least possible loss from
competition is experienced. However,
In order that sufficient plants be
grown upon an acre to utilize most
completely the resources Of the soil
and climate and at the same time per-
NIT intertillage and other desirable
practices, 1t is usually necessary to
sacrifice some Of the advantages to be
gained by even distribution for those
to be gained by other desirable cul-
tural practices. These cultural meth
DDS frequently may be altered 80 as
to reduce this loss, and the greatest
saving in this connection is by means
Of implements specially adapted to
this work. Where general-purpose
implements are used, distances be-
tween rows Of as much as 5 or s feet
are often considered necessary. By
preparing. the land thoroughly and
then using high specialized machinery
for planting and cultivating the corn,
the rows need be no more than 3h
feet apart and the distances between
plants in the rows can be increased
accordingly.
The number Of plants per acre re

and, ais it's character can not be for'
told, it is evident that specific adyit
in this connection can not be given.
In practice, corn is commonly plant
ed in stands ranging from $3.50 +
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1917-05-18

1880 plants per acre, or 8 to IL
square feet per plant. Most stands
Of corn have been planted with an al
lowance Of 8 to IL square feet per
plant
One Of the most deplorable losses
due TO defective stand is from the
blank spaces seen to a greater or less
extent in practically every field. The
ability of the plants to utilize extra
space rapidly diminishes as the dis
tance increases. and the practical
limit probably does not exceed S or 6
feet. Beyond this distance the loss
50 far as the corn crop is concerned
is complete. Good seed Of a uniform
size and shape is an important fac
tor in securing a stand, as it makes
possible more uniform distribution
by the planter.
Burrowing animals and birds fre-
quently do serious damage TO the
stand by eating the seed or by pulling
up the very young plants. Odorous
substances have been tried in various
ways to prevent such attacks. The
substance that is most favorably con-
sidered for this purpose at present Is
coal tar, because it seems successful.

the corn drill at the time the corn is
planted, will quickly force the young
plants past the period Of greatest loss
and thus greatly increase the chances
of securing stand.
Whenever It, is at all difficult to get
the desired stand, extra seed should
be planted to offset the loss. Thin
ming will usually result in greater
economy than leaving a demective
stand or replanting.
