 ears, which is ten per hole; but as the holes could 

 not be counted, it appeared there were feveral holes

 Thofe with fourteen and fifteen gave 425, which

 the average of each row was taken at four different 

 places. 



Thofe with one and two grains, which appeared 

 fo bad in fpring, and during part of the fummcr, 

 yielded at the rate of twenty ears per hole; and up 

 to eight, they yielded at an average twenty ears per 

 hole; and from eight to fifteen grains, they gave 

 on an average at the rate of twenty-four ears per
