Nature-Study Agriculture 



The leading 



American 



crop 



have received if the crop had been divided equally 

 among our one hundred million inhabitants (Fig. 82 

 and Exp. 2). 



To secure the highest success in raising any crop, 

 the farmer should make it the subject of careful study. 

 Here, only a little can be said about several of the more 

 important crops. (Exp. 3.) 



Corn. In the United States corn has been called 

 the " king " of crops. As shown by the figures that 

 have been given, the value of corn is several times as 

 great as that of any other crop, and the quantity raised 

 is about equal to that of all the other grains together.
