FARM PRACTICE IN THE CULTIVATION OF CORN. 



25 



little truck is produced. Hogs and cattle are extensively grown, but 

 tobacco and wheat are the leading money crops. 



Corn is usually grown on sod land, and in preparing for corn most 

 of the breaking is done in the spring with a 3-horse sulky plow 

 and immediately harrowed with a spike-tooth or disk harrow. 

 Then before planting, the land is harrowed again with the spike- 

 tooth harrow and rolled. The corn is usually planted in drills, with 

 a 2-horse 2-row planter. The rows are usually 3^ feet apart, with 

 one stalk every 18 inches in the drill. 



Table XI. — Tillage practices with com in Montgomery County, Ohio, showing 

 depth of ploicing, implements used in order of use, number of times each is 

 used, and normal yield of the crop. 



[In columns 3 to 6 and 8 to 12 the figures show the order in which the implement was used on the several 

 farms; as, 1 = first working or cultivation, 2 = second working or cultivation, etc.]
