yellow flint corn was planted. There were four rows to each plat, 

 the rows being 3 1-2 feet apart. During the summer the crop was 

 cultivated five times and hoed four, each plat receiving the same 

 treatment. The corn reached its maximum growth and began to 

 glaze September 19th. The crop was cut and stooked September 

 28th, husked and weighed October 23rd and 24th, samples of sound 

 and unsound corn, as well as stover, being sent to the laboratory for 

 dry matter determinations. The following table gives the yields of 

 dry matter, the yields in bushels of shelled corn per acre, the propor- 

 tion of sound corn in total yield and the increase in total dry matter 

 due to the several fertilizers, the no fertilizer plat being placed at 100.
