Occurrence of the Crow in Winter in Summit 

 County, Ohio, by H. C. Oberholser, Wooster. 



It appears from the literature available, that while 

 the Crow {Corvus americanus) is found in regions con- 

 siderabh' further north, it does not regularh' in any 

 numbers pass this season in northern Ohio. 



On Januar3' 30th, 1892, a flock of about one 

 hundred and fift^^ Crows were seen at Akron, Ohio, 

 roosting in the top of a clump of deciduous trees in the 

 cemetery. Subsequent information from persons living 

 in the vicinity, developed the fact that every day 

 throughout the winter the Crows had come from the 

 same direction, (/'. e. south-west), and had roosted 

 always in the same part of the cemetery. The weather 

 of that winter, especially during January, was quite 

 severe, much more so than had been the case for several 

 3'ears previous, so that their presence could not in any 

 event be attributed to the mildness of the weather. 



Contributions to the Life History of the Wheat 

 Plant (Triticum vulgare), by L. M. Bloomfield, 

 Columbus. 



The author became interested in some anal_vsises 

 made in 1892 by Mr. W^ H. Baker and Mr. K. C. 

 Egbert, of certain samples of wheat taken at week 

 intervals from fertilizer test plots on the Ohio State 

 University farm. For comparison I secured samples 

 from the same plots in 1893, and " Table I " exhibits 

 the per cent, of nitrogen and ash for the two years, 

 calculated to the air dry substance. 



As a further study as to the effect of various fertil- 

 izers a larger series of samples was secured in 1893. 

 The partial analysis of these are exhibited in " Table 

 II," and are arranged for convenience of comparison, 

 according to the fertilizers the plat received. The de- 

 scriptions of the plats and the amounts of fertilizers 

 applied may be found in detail in the Bulletin of the
