When we arrived at the corn-field he drew a long breath and said: "Now sir, you have done a deal of blowing about your old check-row corn-planters. As you see, this corn is high enough to judge, and if you can find a single row in this whole field, I'll buy you out."
I then borrowed a harness and began a general raid on the farmers, and succeeded fairly well. The only unpleasantness I experienced in the sale of implements was that of a check-row corn-planter, which was new to the farmers in that section as well as to myself.
So the young farmer got his home-made corn-row marker down to the river-bottom and began marking the piece that afternoon. This marker ran out three rows at each trip across the field, and with a white stake at either end, the youth managed to run his rows very straight. He had a good eye. In this case he did not check-row his field. The land was rich phenomenally rich, he believed.
