64 On Preserving Corn from Frost. 



ing corn in any measure fit. At the end of twelve days, 

 being threatened with another severe frost, I had removed 

 into clusters in the same manner about an acre an a half 

 more. Nothing can be more promising than the experi- 

 ment thus far. It is now the middle of September, many 

 of the ears in the stooks first put up, appear now to be 

 perfectly well filled and are begining to turn hard, which 

 is not the case with any of the standing corn. — I see as 

 yet no reason to doubt but that, had it been known that 

 corn could have been saved, or in a great measure in this 

 way and at so early a period, nearly the intire crop might 

 have been preserved to the great comfort and relief of the 

 people : all the stalks and leaves are in perfect order for 

 fodder. 



Should you think the object worth mentioning to 

 your agricultural friends, and they think it worthy their 

 attention, it will be in a way for all the benefit to be deri> 

 ved from it to society, that can even be expected to be 

 realized. 



Yours, 



Samuel Morey, 

 Dr. Mease.
