C. Shepard, of Washington, one hun- dred and eight bushels per acre. The statements of these gentlemen are subscribed under oath, and they all agree that they that season plowed deep. "We recollect, " says the Genesee Farmer, "walking through a magnificent field of corn on the thoroughly underdrained farm of our friend John Johnston. One of the underdrains was choked up, and there the crop was a failure. Corn delights in a loose, dry, warm soil. If it is surcharged with water, all the sunshine ...of our hottest summers can not make it warm, and all the manure that a 47) 148 LAND DRAINAGE. can be put on it will not make the corn yield a maximum crop.
