BULLETIN 320, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



None of the upland and only a small percentage of the bottom land 

 is tile drained. A few of the leading valley roads have been macad- 

 amized. The valley farms usually have good buildings and show 

 signs of prosperity, but the hill farms are not so productive. But 

 few tenants are found in this section. 



Table XVIII. — Tillage practices with corn in Bradford County, Pa., showing 

 depth of ploioing, 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 13 the figures show the order in which the implement was used on 

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