Ii Unall How Stall,wo Elant our Corn? In a late number of yoUr - paper I notice, Borne ono inqqring for the best mode of planting 'Corn, whether (I,2ep or shallow, and whether the fcrtilizer (if-any used) should be „ap plied immediately in contact with the grain,.or covered with. earth before the grain is drCtpped. On the. -sub-. ject of corn planting, like nearly all agricultural subjects, there is doubt css a great contrariety of opiniona and experiences among those •recog nized as good farmers. My object now is nof-,ttrintrude my' judgement, -bUt to elicit, the judgements ofStien title and practical farmers on the Sub ject—how should corn be planted— in deep or slrallovi , furroWs, and how covered, that the best reSults ma.be - produced? Some practical farmers 'cling with wonderful tenacity to the notion that the corn-ground should - boy= out-in quite shallow furrows;i and corn rianted as near the surface as possi .ble. I cannot devine why this prac- tied-is regarded with So 'ranch . favor, Jueless the-vont the roots as- near the top of * the.gronnd as inay.,_ ; be;' , 7l6 .beparelied up 1110a : drought comes. ..Or it may be: they: 'imagine -:all the virtue of the soil; like' thateof some men; to I . sdon:the surface, •,and . that ' the rains passing.down through the ~earth, carry the nourishing elethents itP - Wards to. the surf* instead. of ' downward:through the body of the - soil.
