MpDtlnn The UhtIpw wh^n yon wrlt^. 



tasseled row is husked out by itself, 

 and the com weighed and kept sep- 

 arate from the rest. Turning to the 

 record of the stalk count of each row, 

 we compute the number of hills the 

 row would contain if the stand were 

 perfect; then, knowing the number of 

 hills per acre, we compute the yield 

 per acre by the simple rule of propor- 

 tion. The variation in yield between 

 the different rows is surprising, and 

 we wonder why we have been planting 

 seed, part of which has yielded but 

 half as much as some of the rest. 



If the season has been a normal one, 

 neither too wet nor too dry, we may 

 safely discard twenty to thirty per 

 cent of the rows. Perhaps it would 

 be better to discard only those that 

 fail to reach the average yield of the 

 plot. It is well not to be overanxious 

 to eliminate, because there may have 

 been a cause which has only tem- 

 porarily influenced the production of 

 some of the original ears. 



Some Striking Discoveries. 



We notice a good many striking 

 things as we study the results of this 

 first year's work. Some rows have pro- 

 duced an extra yield, but the type is 

 anything but desirable. Some rows 

 that show the best type have been 

 poor yielders. Only a few show both 

 good type and extra good yield; these 

 have probably sprung from mother- 

 ears in which the strength of the fe- 

 male parent has been prepotent over 

 the male. 



This recalls an experience of my own 

 when commencing to breed Stowell 's 

 Evergreen for both type and yield. 

 During the latter part of the season 

 I watched closely the development of 

 one particular row. The stalk growth 

 was strong and healthy and gave prom- 

 ise of an abnormal yield. In yield 

 I was not disappointed, but the type 

 had gone all to pieces. The ears were 

 like small clubs; the kernels were 

 thick, irregular and ugly; the rows 

 twisted, or zigzag. But there were
