Experiments at Industry 



The experiments at Industry were conducted by Erastus McPhee on 

 a farm belonging to the State Agricultural and Industrial School. The 

 farm is located in the Genesee River valley at an elevation of 540 feet 

 above sea level, a region where conditions are favorable for corn growing. 

 Fifty varieties were planted in 1909; thirty-five of these were harvested 

 by husking the uncured ears from the standing stalks, which were then 

 cut for silage. In 19 10 nine of the best varieties were tested again, 

 together with two additional varieties not tested here in 1909. All varie- 

 ties reached maturity in the second trial and the yields were more carefully 

 harvested. The results are found in the following table:
