NEW JERSEY STATE AGRICULTURAL 



All of this list of corn was grown in a strip extending length- 

 wise of four plots. There were five rows running lengthwise of 

 the strip and the middle one was planted with "Black Mexican," it 

 being the only dark variety used. The planting of this row con- 

 sisted in adding two grains to each hill upon May 3d, nth, 21st, 

 and 29th, that is, a total of eight grains extending from near the 

 first to the last of May. This extension of time was given so as 

 to accommodate the early medium and late va'^ieties that were 

 planted alongside. The kinds shown in the preceeding list were 

 planted four hills each in short rows at right angles to the long 

 "Mexican" row and with the latter making the third or middle 

 hill in each variety row. Hill one of each row was planted on 

 May 3d and hill two on May nth, hil! three. Mexican (given 

 above), hill four, May 21st, and the hills making the fifth row on 

 May 29th. While the intention was to cross artificially as desired, 

 this arrangement secured conditions for much natural crossing 

 among the ninety-nine numbers. 



Notes Upon Yield of Sweet Corn. 



By multiplying the number of ears and their average length 

 together a fair comparison of the yield of each sort is obtained, 

 particularly if note is made of the diameter of the ears as indi- 

 cated by the rows in the third column. Those varieties that 

 have produced forty or more inches of ears are as follows :
