7 TO FIGURE THE
RIGHT STAND OF CORN
John Ewbank Comments on Value to
Farmers of Proper Calculation of
Stand of Corn; Submits Inter
esting Article
Editor, Hustler:
I am handing you herewith an ar
ticle by C. A. Mooers, of the Tennes
see Experiment Station at Knoxville,
on the subject of the right stand of
corn. This article appeared in the
April 1 number of the Southern Ag
riculturist and was very highly com-!
mended to the farmers. I happen
to know something of the work done
in this line at the experiment station
at Knoxville and am sure that this
article of Mr. Mooers is worth read
ing by our farmers. It comes nearer
being a practical rule for corn plant
ing than anything I have seen, and I
believe its application in this com
munity would lead to a marked im
provement in corn cultivation here.
It seems to me that this is a very
timely article, as certainly its appli
cation could not be classed as ex
perimenting.. It certainly is no time
for experimenting with our crops, but
on the other hand it most certainly
is a time when all care should be
taken by our farmers to assure the
best results, and I think the applica
tion of the rules laid down in this
article will prove very beneficial to
those of us who cultivate corn.
Very truly,
JOHN EWBANK.
Formula for Estimating Stand.
What is the right stand, or the
right number of stalks of corn per
acre, for best yield?
You will say, "Oh that depends on
the fertility o fthe soil, on the season
and on the variety to be grown."
With these things in mind most of
the "good" farmers will either plant
or chop to a stand that is somewhere
near right, but they will admit that
there is more or less of uncertainty
in the matter. The writer has known
one of the best of farmers, after
years of experience, to change ma
terially the number of stalks to be
left to the acre because he had de
cided that in the past he had "plant
ed too thick." But did he know that
the change was right? At best it
was a guess though likely enough
a sensible one. If the guess of the
most thoughtful farmers is only,
somewhere near right, how about the
guesses of the many who give scant
heed to such a matter? The writer
is of the opinion that there is a real
need of a reliable method of calcu
lating the proper stand of corn.
At first thought it may not seem
reasonable that this can be done by
any rule worthy of much considera
tion. The writer believes, however,
that he has solved the problem, and
especially because of the present
great importance of doing all the
farm work the right way, he makes
haste to present this method to the
farmers of Tennessee and other
States with similar climate.
First -of all the writer does not
want anyone to think that the method
is only a stray idea something made
up over-night. As a matter of fact
it is the result of many rate-of-plant-ing
experiments made by the Tennes
see Agricultural Experiment Station
during the past twelve years. In all
of the station's variety trials of corn,
every variety is planted in' three sets,
each at a different rate. For in
stance, a number of varieties have
been planted each year for the past
twelve years on rich bottom land at
the Knoxville st?tron farm at the rate
of 6,000, 8,000 und 10,000 stalks per
acre. At the West Tennessee station
the land .r,3 much poorer and the
have been used in the Middle Tennes
see co-operative work.. For- some
soils, however, 4,200, 5,400 and 6,-
600 rates have been used. After ob
taining yields for a number of years
the question came up of getting a
definite rule from the results. ' Huff
man corn did its best on the rich bot
tom land, which averaged about 70
bushels per acre, with a stand of 6,-
000 stalks and on the poorer land
about 40 bushels per acre 'With a
stand between 3,000 and 4,200 per
acre. Hickory King on the rich land
did best with 10,000 stalks and on
the poorer land with 4,200 to 5,400
stalks. - .
But how were these results to be
made of general application?
The writer solved the problem hi
this way: The average yi-id. of
shelled corn in pounds per acre pro
duced by the planting which gave the
highest average was "divided by the
number of stalks. , This gave the av
erage weight of grain per stalk. This
average weight is termed the varieiy
110
factor. In the case of Huffman it
was .67. of one pound or 10.7 ounces
of shelled corn. The factor for
Hickory King was .41 and for Neal's
Paymaster .52. The importance of
these figures lies in the idea that,
when Huffman, for example, is placed
so that the average stalk produces
.67 pound of grain a better yield will
be obtained than where planted eith
er thicker or thinner. Hickory
King, on the other hand; makes its
best yield with a comparatively thick
er stand where only ;41 pound of
grain per stalk will be produced,
while Neal's Paymaster will do its
best when allowed to produce .52
pound per stalk. Remember, these
figures are in harmony with the re
sults of several years trials conduct
ed in various parts of the State.
Now let us consider how a formula
was gotten by means of which these
factors can be utilized. The number
of stalks multiplied by the average
weight of grain per stalk (the variety
factor) will, of course, give the
pounds of grain produced per acre.
This statement can be correctly
changed to the following: The num
ber of stalks equals the yield in
bushels, multiplied by 56 and divided
by the variety factor. If we let N
stand for the number of stalks per
acre, Y for the average yield and F
for the variety factor, we have j
The dash, , means "equals."
N Yx56 : F.
We, now have a formula which
with the aid of the experimental fac
tors, will enable a school boy to tell a
farmer how many stalks of corn he
should have to the acre in order to
get best yields on the average sea
son, provided said school boy is given
a single item of information, and that
is the expectancy, or Y, for the land
in question. Let us see how this
works out:
Suppose we wish to calculate the
proper stand for Neal's Paymaster on
land wThich produces in the neigh
borhood of forty bushels per acre.
40x562,240.
2,240 : .52 4,308 stalks.
Suppose Hickory King is to be
used, wrhat is the number of stalks?
40x56 2,240 stalks.
2,240 : .41 5,463 stalks.
With Huffman corn what is the
number of stalks?
40x562,240.
2,240 : .67 3,333 stalks.
Let no one think, however, that the
writer means from the inference to be
drawn that one variety will yield as
well as another if both be properly
planted, for such is not the case. The
true standing or comparative worth
of the varieties will .however, appear
only where properly spaced for the
soil on which they are grown.
Attention is now called to an im
portant exception in the use of the
rule and that is in the case of "thin"
land land producing, say, from 15
to 25 bushels per acre. For land of
this character the stand as calculat
ed for a 25-bushel crop is recom
mended. Also between 25 and 30
the stand for a 30-bushel crop is
advised. .
Factors for a number of varieties
have been determined and varieties
with a similar factor have been
placed in a group together. Five
groups have been decided upon as
follows :
Group 1.
Factor .41.
Hickory King.
Boone County.
White.
