The average of all the varieties is 11.2 tons of total crop, 
containing 3.09 tons of dry matter. Those varieties that 
ripened, averaged thirty-tive bushels of shelled com pei acie. 
It is evident on the whole, that the dent coins were 
more productive than the dint, in total crop, in dry mattei, 
and in shelled corn. .When a comparison us made between 
the small and large kinds of each, the dittei-ence is not so 
ureat. The large, late dint corns are, evidently, not so well 
adapted to Colorado conditions as the smaller and eailiei 
kinds, but the choice among the dents is n<>t so apparent. 
Most of them have done well and some of them very well. 
Any corn that produces four tons of dry matter per acie las 
made an excellent growth. According to the hgiires given 
above the small dent corns average a tride more dry luatter 
per acre than the large and later varieties There has always 
been a dispute among farmers as to whether this di y mattei 
from mature and immature corn had an etiiial feet i
