11.2 tons per acre, containing 33.98 per cent, of dry matter, 
or 3.81 tons of dry matter per acre. The green ears weighed

Red Cob. This is an excellent corn, but the seed planted

results, but the seed used for the main crop was from a different 
source. On August 18th, poor stand, with much replanting, 
badly mixed seed, tasseling very low, four to six feet high, to 
top of tassel, very unsatisfactory looking; only a few 7 large 
stalks. In the main crop at harvest time many stalks w^ere 
found with the bottom of the ear seven feet from the ground, 
September 25th. Ears large, a few 7 iu the roasting stage. 
Total crop, 11.6 tons per acre, containing 25.43 per cent, dry 
matter, or 2.96 tons dry matter per acre.
