EXPERIMENTS AVITIT INDIAN CORN. 



Twenty varieties of corn were tested in hills and in rows. Both hills and rows 

 were 35 inches apart. The com was sown on clay loam on May 21, but in nearly all 

 varieties one-third to one-half of the seed did not germinate, causing re-seeding during 

 the first week in June. 



Three varieties were also sown in rows at different distances apart. The yield per 

 acre of all the varieties was computed from the weight of two rows, each 66 feet long.
