PLANTING

The conclusions drawn from these tables show that in all 

 cases but one the rows should be farther apart each way 

 where three kernels are planted per hill and closer together 

 where just two kernels are planted per hill. 



The first two tables take into consideration all kinds of 

 soils, while the last two make a comparison between strong 

 land and thin land. They show that the rows should be 



ROLLING AND HARROWING CORN JUST AS IT IS COMING 



THROUGH THE GROUND 

 The corn is protected from the harrow teeth by being planted in a furrow 



closer on strong land than on thin land, or, keeping the rows 

 the same distance, more kernels can be planted per hill on 

 the stronger land than on thin land. 



All of the tables indicate that in Northern Illinois rows 

 may be planted closer and thicker than in Central Illinois.
