 The seed corn came from the Department of Agriculture at Wash- 

 ington, D. C. ; it had been obtained from Minnesota. The corn was 

 raised at the Station on lands in good cultivation with 600 pounds of 

 ground bones and 200 pounds of muriate of potash per acre as fer- 

 tilizer. The plant belongs to the "Dent" variety and deserves 

 recommendation for trial in our section of the State. The compo- 

 sition of the kernels is above the average. The stalks are, however, 

 somewhat harder, than many of our local varieties.
