FARM PEACTICE IN THE CULTIVATION OF COKN.

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 3J feet apart, with 
one stalk every 18 inches in the drill. 
Table XL — Tillage practices with corn in Montgomery County, Ohio, shoiving 
depth of plowing, 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.]
