CORN. 63 



the unfertilized plot amounted to 89 pounds of stover and 

 52 pounds of ear corn, while from the plot receiving mu- 

 riate of potash were gathered 180 pounds of stover and 

 167 pounds of ear corn. Here the increase of stover is 

 100 per cent, and that of ear corn 300 per cent., due to 

 the use of potash. 



MURIATE OF POTASH. 



NO FERTILIZER. 



Thus, the experiments with corn at the Massachusetts 

 Experiment Station show, as they did at the Kentucky 

 Station, that the yield of stover and ear corn follows the 

 amount of potash in the fertilizer.
