Title
Corn Markers Description  
Description
A printed description of the use of a corn marker, along with a drawing of a corn marker.  
Interpretation
Corn markers were used to mark where corn should be planted, so that stalks were not so close together that they would smother each other but not too far apart that they would waste land space.
