uumanurecl plots or half-acres, and note whether the fodder 

 ripens at the same time, or not, on both plots. 



Weigh corn in the shuck, and report as soon as convenient 

 after gathering. 



The following tabulated reports show the results of the 

 experiments : 



CoEN Experiment by Mr. E. J. Beasley, 



Bed Level, Covington County, Alabama. 



Soil — Red, with Red Clay sub-soil. 

 Rows 70 yards long — 5 feet wide. 



Mr. Beasley says that he prepared his land according to 

 instructions from the Station. 



Corn was planted March 10th, on the 25th killed by freeze. 

 On the 14th of April* planted the second time, securing a 

 good stand. First plowing was done with a scooter, and 

 succeeding culture with scrape and scooter. Just as corn 

 was bunching for tassel, a drought began, which lasted three 

 weeks. A good rain fell at the close of this drought, and 

 another three weeks drought came on which cut off the fer- 

 tilized half acre, fully one half. The unfertilized plot did 

 not seem to suffer much for rain. Mr. Beasley thinks that 

 the first application of fertilizer was lost on account of the 

 heavy rains in April and May.
