The photo -engravings, Figs. 32, 33, 34 and 35 (pages 192, 193), 

 s*how the relative amounts of corn husked from each plot and the 

 areas upon which these were grown, while in the table below are 

 given the yields per acre:

In the case of the Pride of the North, the corn was planted

, It will be seen from these tables that the yield of water -free
