oixta-aut h day of October, ls7U, UK) pounds 
of frostily cut anger ItnwU won- exposed 
to the mm. ut Hivor-idi*. At. noon, the 
licit day, the 1IMI pounds liud dried oat to 
flour; fifteen hundre d pounds, like the P"tuid*, and by noon on th*> oightennlb 
sample at tho Exposition, had been mi 
S orted into lam Angeles, to b. wild at one 
oil nr a pound, for acid. I have obtained 
tho following fact- of th* variety known 
as Cuzco corn, from Mr. J, Ori lck of ]jn* 
Angeles Cuzco cccrn is tho largest and 
fin cut corn known. The grains ire very 
large, flat, and the inside is almost ready 
made flour. The lira! Cu/cu corn m ru lay 
Mr. Grolok, was on exhibition at tho cap¬ 
ital of Peru. It was in l!ir> car; tho 
cars am very large After returning from 
Franco, about five yen la ago, Mr. Grclck 
being anxious to test the Cuzco pnrn in 
Los Angeles, ordered about ten pounds 
from Limn, which arrived here on the 1*1 
of liny, and which Mr. Gril.k planted on 
the 2*1 of May. Tl ict com germinated 
quickly, soon cninr iiji; grew rapidly, at¬ 
tained a height of .talk of from fourteen 
to sixteen fed, produced from two to four 
ears, almost at the tap of the stalk Tho 
fara matured about the close of Decem¬ 
ber. Mr. Urelrk differ* in opinion 
from those who ttiuiolnin that the Cuzco 
corn will mature in a shoil. season of 
growth. He Im Iu u - that a liigli range of 
the mercury, through u long season, nre 
nocesiuiry to the perfection of t'u/ico corn. 
He -aid that Mr. Niltnonun, of Puna, one 
of the most reputable - -linen in 1’riwun*, 
told him, during hi* visit to Paris, what 
Ins ow n oxiicrienri' hn* confirmed in Los
