The result of five crops of one acre of maize for fodder which were 

 entered for a prize given by the Trafalgar and Yarragon Societies is 

 also given here. 



Tlie winner of this, Mr. C. Tucker, had an exceptional crop of 

 beautiful quality Hickory King maize, which did him great credit, and 

 which was estimated (by the same means used in arriving at the weights 

 of the potato crops) to yield 40 tons per acre of succulent green maize.
