The planting may be done as soon as the soil is dry enough to cultivate, or when the oak trees begin to show their new leaves. A warm, well-drained location, free from marshy conditions, should be selected, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The soil should be spaded to a depth of 8 inches or more and the surface of the plat thoroughly pulverized before planting. The rows should be about 3 feet apart.’ | A small furrow 2 or 3 inches deep is : sufficient. The kernels should be dropped 8 or 10 Inches apart in the ro4 I and covered to a depth of about 1 inch. The planting should be done before the moist soil in the furrow I has had time to dry out. Grass and weeds should be kept ; clow'ii as much as possible while the i corn is making its early growth, and | the soil should be keptj.oose over the I surface by frequent cultivation. If i only a small plat is planted, it is

1 better to plant a number of shoi t I rows.
