EXPERIMENTS WITH INDIAN CORN. 



Twenty-six varieties of corn were tested in hills three feet apart each way and in 

 drills three feet apart. The drills were thinned to leave one plant per foot of drill and 

 hills to leave three plants in each hill. The soil was a warm sandy loam that had been 

 in roots in 1896. 



The season was favourable for corn and the yields as shown in the following table 

 have been very good. The yield in each case has been calculated from 2 rows each 

 66 feet long.
