'He ?tated that be planted a Held in corn for four years in succession, planting nae half the later part of March and the other half the, latter part of April or the first p u*t of May. The next year be plant ed his early corn ott the land where he Had his* late Corn; the year before and continued thia- swapping about for the'four years. Every year his early com was almost ruined by the worms, while his late corn was almost free) from them. He stated that be made 33 1-3 per cent more* corn In the four y?ars irsm his late planting than he did from his early planting and one year hts late ?em waa e?t off about one-half-by dry weather.
