The Bulletin. 9 



In order to ascertain whether a large one-eared variety of corn, 

 if planted thick enough, would yield as much per acre as a prolific 

 variety, a test was planned with three different varieties, two prolific 

 varieties and one one-eared variety, to find their yielding power at 

 different distances in the row. Table No. 4 shows the results of 

 this test. It will be noted that for an average of all distances in 

 the row, Cock's Prolific yielded 22.3, Weekley's Improved 19.6, and 

 Holt's Strawberry, the large one-eared variety, 15.1 bushels per 

 acre. The yield of stover, however, was greater in case of the 

 one-eared variety, but not enough greater to compensate for the re- 

 duction in yield of grain.
