Corn planting time is ap
proaching and farm plans aie
being made to get this very im
portant crop in the ground.
Growers are urged to take time
to adjust the planter correctly
so the proper number of kernels
will be dropped. The driveway
or barnyard is a suitable place.
After the desired number of
mature plants per acre has been
decided, plus about 10% more
for mortality, the planter should
be given several test runs to
be sure the population is col
lect. Corn for silage should be
planted from 3 to 4 thousand
plants per acre thicker than for
grain. Another word of caution
reflects that too much speed
with the corn planter does not
live it a chance to plant ac-
curately,
