[AT] Check planting

[Farmerbeal at aol.com]

I realize I'm much older than most you guys but I planted many acres in 
checked rows. We didn't have herbicides so had to control weeds with the 
cultivator. Dad did all the planting untill I got a 4row planter after   WWII. He would 
plant 12 A a day(10 Hrs. was all the horse could take) with a 2 row planter 
with horses. When I started planting when I came home from the war I managed to 
plant 40 A. checking and adding fert. That Fert. was what took the time. We 
had to add fert every round (8o rod rows) Your speed was limited   because   it 
would drop the corn out off the row if you went too fast.
