They used to stretch a check-wire across the field that ran through a trip device on the planter. The wire looked kinda like barb wire but no barbs, just knots spaced for seed spacing.By using the check-wire you can get the seeds to drop in the same place in each row so that the plants will be in line across the rows as well as in the rows. This allows you to cross cultivate to get in between the plants. Back then they would drop 3 seeds to a hill with probably the same spacing as the row width so you would have room between plants for cultivating.
