One ear produced 55 bushels per acre, while another planted by its side yielded eighty-two bushels per acre. The method of planting must be adapted to the section and nature of the land. Where the soil is high and dry or where very dry weather is likely to prevail during the growing season, planting corn in the water furrow is probably best. The soil can be gradually worked to the corn. Where the land is well drained, it is generally best to plant the corn on a level so that flat shall

The soil can be gradually worked to the corn. Where the land is well drained, it is generally best to plant the corn on a level so that flat shallow cultivation may be practiced to the best advantage. On wet lands it is usually best to plant on beds and give the corn ridge cultivation. The result of the experiment stations seem to indicate that the yield of corn in drills is shghtly more than in hills. The distance apart in rows and hills must be settled for each locahty and each particular soil. The amount of the moisture and the fertility of the soil must be considered in deciding the distance in the drill. Where the soil is poor and dry, and the weather is usually dry during the growing sea-
