periment stations. This volume is rather in 

 the nature of a compilation of such informa- 

 tion as seems to the writer might be of service 

 to American corn-growers. It is not a special 

 account of the author's experience in growing 

 this crop, but rather of the results of many- 

 cultivators. No attempt has been made to go 

 into general details when it has seemed un- 

 necessary, and some subjects have been lightly 

 touched upon as unimportant. But if the 

 volume as a whole shall be of material service 

 to our corn-growers it will have served its 



purpose.
