MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
GRAIN-NEW VARIETY. 
Whoever has given attention to the sub¬ 
ject, has doubtless observed that in a field ! 
of grain, there will sometimes be found a I 
single stalk larger, or smaller, more produc¬ 
tive, or less so, earlier, or later, in coming 
to maturity, than its fellows, or in some oth¬ 
er w T ay distinguished from them. W hcther 
these deviations bo attempts to return to the 
original condition of the plant, or efiorts to 
« progress and improvemenr,” they often, if 
not always, lay the foundation of a now va¬ 
riety, and may be used and improved for 
that purpose. 
It is in this way that the acclimation, or 
adaptation of grain to a particular climate, 
may bo effected. Earlier, and generally 
smaller, varieties may be produced by se¬ 
lecting for several years in succession, the 
first-ripe products fox* seed ; and later 'va¬ 
rieties, by the contrary process. 
In the spring of 1851 I planted the com¬ 
mon variety of sweet corn, which here is 
generally 10 or 12-rowed; and near as I 
now recollect, the seed was taken from asin- 
gle 10-rowed ear. Most of the product 
was 10-rowed, but among tho rest I observ¬ 
ed one stalk with two extra long ears.— 
These I reserved for seed, and found them 
to be 8 - rowed, with kernels larger than 
usual. In tho spring of ’52 I planted what 
appealed to be three slightly different va¬ 
rieties :—1st, A smaller eax'ed variety; 2d, 
that of ’52, and 3d, my new eight-rowed va-
