were weighed. These weights were taken as those in the air dry 

 condition. In 1894 practically the same course was pursued only 

 the samples were selected for drying as the corn was chopped for 

 the silo in the fresh green state. The moisture in the air-dry sam- 

 ples for 1894 was also determined in order to ascertain the yield of 

 dry matter. (See Table 2.)

By the use of the foregoing data the production of air dry 

 material in the corn for the years 1893 and 1894 is calculated. 



The succeeding table (Table 3) shows the yield of air dry 

 material from the crops under consideration since the experiments 

 were begun in 1886. 



The quantities stated represent the rate of production of per 

 acre. The data for the years previous to 1892 have been copied 

 from the reports of these experiments published up to that time.
