variety was sown May 26th, in drills 3 feet 8 inches apart ; 

 the stalks at gathering, averaging 7 1-2 inches distant from 

 each other in the row. Manured in the drill with hen manure, 

 worked fine with loam. Hoed twice with the horse hoe, fol- 

 lowed by the hand hoe. Culture entirely flat. Stalks were 

 cut up whole Sept. 24th, and stooked on the field. Husked 

 the last week in October, and yielded 6640 pounds of ears, or
