Late-maturlDK, tall-nrowlna corn, oharao- torlatlo of tho loutborn atatoa. (Hfti'n<'.v.) The amount of raoisturo as well as tho fertility of the land are matters that must bo considered in deciding the rate of planting. If the stftlks stand thickly in the rows the crop will sulfur more irom dry weather than if there is a thinnor stand. In some sections where the soil is light, and dry weather is usual during the growing season, best results are obtained by having the rows four foot apart, with one stalk every three feet in the row. When such thin planting as this is necessary, it is preferable to plant the corn-rows far enough apart BO that peanuts, cowpeas, or some other such croj) can be planted between the rows. In tho loading (;orn states, where the greater part of the land piantitd to corn is rather fertile, the mistake is made of planting the corn too thickly on the poor land. Ex- perience has taught the oorn-growdrs that live in localities where all of the soil is liglil, that thin planting is necessary, and the mistake of planting too thickly is not so common as in Hoctions where the greater part of the land is fertile. Tho result of planting too thickly is to roduco the size of the ears and the production of grain, and to Inoreaso the amount of forage. The rate of planting field cor
