The above sUitcd coin was luised, according to reports received, on 

 excellent soil in " Sunderland Meadows"; four cords of barnyard 

 manure and 150 lbs. of a Phosphatic fertilizer per acre had been ap- 

 plied. 



6 stalks well air-dried weighed 2 lbs. oz. 



6 ears '^ '' " 2 '^ 8 " 



The average length of ear was seven and oue-half inches. It con- 

 tained twelve rows of kernels, and its average weight amounted to 

 six and oue-half ounces ; 85.6 per cent, kernels and 14.4 per cent, 

 cob. 



The variety of Western Corn — Pride of the North — described in a 

 previous Bulletin was of a better composition than the above-named 

 one. Whether this difference is due to an inherent quality or to a 

 superior condition of the soil which served for the production cannot 

 well be decided without an actual test under corresponding condi- 

 tions. The dift'erence in quality is large enough to deserve the seri- 

 ous attention of those who desire to raise the best in the market.
