MAIZE. 



The record of the plantings and general condition of the corn for 

 the season of 1888 is taken from the station Bulletin No. d by Prof. 

 Luther Foster, director and agriculturist, and is as folloAvs: 



The corn experiment embraced a set of 39 plats, each containing 

 60 rows 24 hills in length. Thirty-three of these plats Avere planted 

 Avith different varieties of corn, 18 of Dent and 15 of Flint, the rest 

 being used for experiments in deep and shallow cultivation. 



On the first 33 plats the planting began on the 7th and 8th days of 

 May. Two rows of each plat were planted every day for thirty con- 

 secutive working days. 



It may. perhaps, be unnecessary to state that these daily plantings 

 were made with the object of determining the corn growing season, 

 when germination begins, and the extreme length of planting time.
