CORN. 



Twenty varieties of garden corn were tested. The seed was sown June 5, on the 

 level, in rows 3 feet apart, and the plants were thinned to 10 inches apart in the rows. 

 The land was in garden pease the previous season, and was of a sandy loam character. 

 It was ploughed in the spring and worked up. No barn-yard manure was used, but 

 complete fertilizer at the rate of 500 pounds per acre was sown broadcast and harrowed 

 with the smoothing harrow. The horse cultivator was run through the rows at 



in 



intervals of 10 days during the summer.
