deeply dug, and well fertilized. Plant in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, dropping 3 or 4 grains 15 to 18 inches 
in the row. When 4 or 5 inches high, thin to 1 or 2 stalks to the hill, according to the richness of the 
land. Frequent shallow cultivation is essential until the tassel appears, and then “laid-by.” In the lati¬

planted until the middle of April. For a succession, plant every two weeks until the first of July.
