weed was allowed to grow. October 6th the corn was cut up 

 close to the ground and stooked up. November 3d, being 

 well dried and in good order, I had the whole weighed and 

 stored in the barn, where it was husked within a week and 

 carefully weighed. 



Lot No. 1 pi-oduced 3635 pounds of unhusked corn ; 1462 

 lbs. of sound ears; 39 lbs. of unsound ears ; 2134 lbs. stover.
