WHEAT. 13 



live stock. George Martin writes from Saltcoats, eastern Assiniboia, 

 "We are too far north to grow ensilage corn with success." Squaw 

 corn does not mature in Manitoba at Turtle Mountain, Pembina, or 

 Winnipeg, or at Spy Hill, Assiniboia. It is doubtful if it can be 

 depended upon to mature a crop above the Transition, to which zone 

 it properly belongs. 



{d) SWEKT CORN. 



(14) StoioelVs Evergreen or Evergreen Sweet. — Gomj)aratively few notes 

 were received on Sweet or Sugar corn, but as thirty-six persons re- 

 ported from twenty-eight States, it is thought best to touch upon the 

 <listribution of this variety. Sweet corn is essentially successful in 

 the Upper Austral, maturing generally in this zone. No report on 

 Stowell's Evergreen was received from the Transition, except from one 

 point each in northwestern Pennsylvania, southern Wisconsin, north- 

 eastern South Dakota, eastern North Dakota, and southern Montana. 

 It was reported from four points in the Lower Austral, in Louisiana, 

 ^rississippi, and -tVlabama. It does not do well, however, in the Lower 

 Austral, and its successful cultivation may be said to be restricted 

 largely to the Upj)er Austral zone. 



(e) POP CORN. 



(15) All varieties. — No one variety of poj) corn was specified to 

 any extent by the twenty-five persons reporting from fifteen States 

 and two Canadian provinces. No reports are at hand from the Lower 

 Austral. Nearly all are from the Upper Austral, except the following 

 from the Transition zone: One from Keremeos, British Columbia; one 

 from California; one from Howard, S. Dak.; one from Upper Quebec, 

 and one from Maine. This is really an Upper Austral crop, not com- 

 ing to its fullest powers in either the Lower Austral or the Transition. 



WHEAT. 



All of the wheats under consideration belong to the species Triticum
