CORN AT DIFFERENT DISTANCES APART IN THE ROWS. 



The same varieties were used in this test as were used last season. 



The plants were trimmed to six inches in the drill and to three strong plants in 

 the hill. The yield, as in previous years, is usually the heaviest where the drills or 

 rows 'are at the least distance. In each case four rows of each variety were planted 

 and the yield computed from 66 feet of the two centre rows. The plots were all planted
