that produced more protein and six varieties that produced more 

 fat. 



It will be remembered that the small yield of the last two varie- 

 ties was due to poor seed, there not being more than half a stand 

 of either. If the yield of these two varieties be multiplied by two, 

 they would stand first and thirteenth respectively. 



For the sake of comparison, we have added at the bottom, the 

 yield of the various constituents from a measured acre of Pride of 

 the North in the general corn field. It is true that this corn was 

 fertilized, but not all the difference may be ascribed to fertility, 

 for the soil of the plots was fertile though not manured this year. 

 It seems to us that most of the difference must be due to selection 

 and acclimation of the seed through several years.
