At each period of cutting, except the last, besides taking the 

 sample, there were cut and weighed sixty hills of corn. The 

 weight of the corn so cut was used as a basis for computing the 

 yield of green fodder and of the various constituents per acre, 

 except in the cutting of Sept. 24, when a measured acre was cut 

 and weighed. These results are shown in the table below.
