 trenches four feet apart and about six inches apart in the row, on May 30. Tbe dry 

 weather appeared, to stunt the growth of the plants after transplanting, and in conse- 

 quence practically all went to seed.

The varieties of corn, Golden Bantam and Malakoff, were planted on May 1G, and 

 the Pocahontas on May 30, but none of the varieties advanced their corn to a stage 

 iil for table use.
