Mr. Radney reports that the corn was closely slip-shucked 

 and that the weight of shucks from 75 lbs. were 4| lbs. In 

 this instance, as well as several others, 80 lbs. in the shuck 

 are too muclito alloiu to the bushel but an average was neces- 

 sary to all alike. Supposing that 76 lbs. were allowed in 

 this instance, which would be about correct, the yield from 

 plot No. 1 would show nearly 51 i bushels per acre, and plot 

 No. 2, in proportion.
