INVESTIGATION OF 1907 



INTRODUCTION. 



The experimental work on the effect of environment on sugar corn 

 was continued in 1907 in the same manner as during the two years 

 previous, the same stations collaborating, viz, Florida, South Caro- 

 lina, Maryland, Connecticut, and Maine. A record of cultural and 

 meteorological data was kept as before, and at the proper time anal- 

 yses of the edible corn were made at the different stations. 



FLORIDA. 



As the Florida experiment station was moved from Lake City to 

 Gainesville in the fall of 1906 the corn for the investigation of 1907 

 was planted in a somewhat different type of soil. However, this is 

 the only variation, as the climate and other conditions were about the 

 same. The corn was planted March 14 and came up in about ten 

 days, producing a very good stand. Commercial fertilizer was sown 

 in the rows with the seed, these rows being opened with a D!OW. The 

 seed was not covered deep.
