SUMMARY. 



Since 190(>, nriy-loiir varit'lics oi" corn have be<ii 

 tested on the Station Farm. During this period among 

 tlie four most productive varieties of each year, Hast- 

 ings Prolific and Mosby eacli were included six times; 

 Sanders and Alexander Prolific each five times; Un- 

 imi)rovcd Henry Grady three times; Weekly, Garric, 

 ixud Improved Henry Grady each two times; and Stone, 

 Shaw, Davis Poor Land, Jackson Red Cob, Coker E-1 

 and McGregor each one time. 



The prolific and medium prolific varieties afforded 

 larger average yields than did the non-prolific or those 

 having a tendency to produce only one large ear lo 

 the plant. 



Most of the small and medium ear varieties, includ- 

 ing Mosby, Sanders, Hastings, Davis Poor Land, Alex- 

 ander Prolific, Whatley, Vardaman, and Hickory King, 

 have more than 85 percent of grain by weight on the 

 husked ear. The varieties having less than 80 percent 

 are Local White, Improved Henry Grady, Shaw, and 

 Riley Favorite — all large ear varieties. 



Classified according to time required to mature, the 

 very early and very late varieties ranked lowest in 

 yield; the intermediate, highest.
