REPORT OF MR. WM. M. BLAIR.

with the seed drill 3 feet apart in the rows, with 2 to 4 seeds per foot. About one- 

 half of the corn germinated, and made slow growth. The beans all grew well. 



The corn was badly broken down by a storm on August 23rd, but it did not 

 appear to damage the beans so much. The corn was in the milk stage when cut, 

 and some of the beans on the lower part of the stalks were ripe. 



It was evident that the same kind of corn grew better that was planted in plots 

 without the beans, but we thought the beans grown alone did not appear to be so 

 vigorous, as those grown among the corn. 



Potatoes. 



Forty-nine varieties of potatoes were planted in two rows, each QQ feet long; 

 dates of planting, May 21st to 23rd ; dates of digging, Sept. 13th and 14th ; results 

 as given below ; sets, 2 to 3 eyes ; 1 foot apart.
