Field Corn 
At the A f Lon Fair Sept. 24th. 1905. 1 was awarded first premium 
on my core in competition with six other varieties of this class. 
I have a small lot of this to offer, and must limit each customer to one bushel 
or less. This corn is the early yellow eight rowed improved with deep grain 
and small cob. It is a heavy yielder. Last season it produced at the rate of 
106 bushels of ears to the acre. Price by freight or express, one peck 50c.. 
bushel 80c. , bushel. $1.60. 
Directions to Beginners 
Strawberries— Fertilize the ground as for a good field crop— Commercial fer- 
tilizers produce the least weeds. Select ground that had hoed corn on last year. 
The best land is one that heavy clover plowed under and then one hoed crop. 
Keep your land thoroughly cultivated, don’t allow the weeds to get a start. For 
field culture mark out rows 3 to 4 feet wide and set plants 18 to 20 inches ap-’-t 
in the rows. 20 by 36 inches 8712 plants. 18 by 48 inches 7260. 
Set plants as early in the spring as possible. Set with the crowns level with 
the surface of the ground, and press the earth fimly about the roots. 
Cut off blossoms from spring-set plants the first year. Runners that are to 
be cut should be cut as soon as they appear - -not after they have sapped the 
plant to make useless growth. . , 
Keep the surface of the ground continually stirred— not so much to kill weeds 
as to conserve moisture. Cultivate after every shower and once in five or six 
days during drouth. . . _ 
Cover the ground between the plants with straw, or litter m October. Cover 
the plants themselves as soon as hard freezing begins. Remove the mulch from 
over the plants when growth commences in the spring. 
Keep down weeds in the spring by very shallow cultivation or pulling by hand 
and conserve moisture by mulch among the plants. 
When a grower discovers an insect pest and wants information about it, the 
best way is to send specimens and full written particulars to the entomologist 
of the experiment station of his own state. 
Raspherries will require 2420 plants to the acre, rows 3 by 6 ft. 
Blackberries 2074 plants, rows 3 by 7 feet. 
Fertilize the same as for strawberries
