AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION.

cents and for the other thirty-two and one-half cents, or a differ- 

 ence of twenty-seven and one-half cents. 



Reducing the results above detailed to the basis of one acre we 

 have $5.50 as the increased cost of planting by the trench system 

 with nothing to show for it, — on the contrary with an actual differ- 

 ence of 27.5 bushels in favor of the ordinary method. 



We are thus led to the same conclusion as last year, viz. : Results 

 do not justify the extra labor involved in the trench system. 



II — Notes of Corn. 

 Except in our general studies of plant variation, corn has not 

 received marked attention at this station. Daring the past year, 

 however, several varieties were grown, and some notes concerning 

 their behavior are given. The table indicates in the most concise 

 way the more important points of general interest. All varieties 

 were planted May 27th.
