How To Lay By Corn
W mm m
.LayingDy is a term given
the last plowing. If peas are
sowed at this time, farther
cultivation is impossible. It
is usually a better plan to sow
the peas on the sides of the
ridges, leaving space to work
the middles with a one-horse
harrow. Should rains occur
during the summer, a crust
is apt to form, therefore it is
wiser to have the middles
free for cultivation.
The old practice of stirring
the soil deep and making high
ridges is less prevalent each
year. Farmers in many local-
