. The corn crops: a discussion of maize, kafirs, and sorghums as grown in the United States and Canada. Corn; Kafir corn; Sorghum. PREPAEATION AND PLANTING 177 The rate of planting is partly regulated by the size of plant. Plants in the GuK States are about twice as large as in the Northern States, due in part to climate and also to the longer growing season. It has been shown, however, that for a given place the rate of seeding within wide limits does not have a marked effect on yield. An experiment regarding this point was conducted by the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station.^. Fig. 51.

Rows wide apart, and a crop of peanuts between. For soil improvement cowpeas are sometimes grown between. For three years corn was planted at rates varying from 5,940 to 47,520 kernels per acre. The maximum yield was obtained with 11,573 kernels per acre, though almost as good yields resulted when 15,840 or 23,760 kernels were 1 111. Agr. Exp.
