Comparing the three zones of the state, namely, northern, central and southern, it is seen that the yield varies with the same rates of seeding. In the north, the heavier seeding produced the higher yield. With a smaller ear, and lighter stalk more stalks can succeed in a hill. Going south however to the larger ears, and heavier stalks (and in some cases older soil) the number of stalks per hill must be slightly reduced. In the southern part of the state it is generally aimed to have from two to three stalks per hill, and in the northern part of the state, from three to four. The average for the entire state of Iowa shows the best results from three to four kernels planted per hill. In these tests it should be added too that the yield of stover as a rule was heavier with the thicker planting. In Nebraska the yield of stover increased over 16 per cent between two and five stalks per hill. The Ohio test shows a corresponding increase in yield of stover amounting to 100 per cent, however, between the one stalk and 5 stalk stand. This was for an average of ten CORN PL/VNTER Showing disc furrow opener.
