FARM PRACTICE IX THE CULTIVATION OF CORN. 



51 



Scarcely any cover crops are grown, and wheat is usually sown after 

 corn. The yellow dent varieties of corn are largely grown. 



The most prevalent weeds are foxtail, lamb's-quarters, chicory, and 

 Spanish needle. 



Considerable fertilizer is used for corn and wheat, and stable ma- 

 nure is applied broadcast to the sod land before planting to corn. 



SURVEYS IN WAUSHARA COUNTY, WIS. 



The tillage records for Wisconsin (Table XXIV) were taken in 

 northwestern Waushara Count}', principally around Plainfield. 



Table XXIV. — Tillage practices with corn in Waushara County, Wis., showing

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