INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENT ON SWEET CORN. 



The precipitation was not very evenly distributed, being low in 

 May, when the corn was planted, and excessive during the early 

 growing stages and the maturing period.

Analysis of individual ears of Stowell Evergreen corn grown at New Haven, Conn., 1905. 



The average sugar content of the Crosby corn for 1905 was much 

 above that for the Stowell Evergreen, but this was also true at each 

 of the other stations. The general condition of the crop was better 

 at Connecticut than at any other places, and no worms or weevils 

 were present. 



The moisture content of the Stowell Evergreen was very near that 

 for the South Carolina station, yet the sugar content was much 

 lower, Connecticut standing third in percentage of sugars for this 

 variety.
