The corn seed on these series, 1 A, 2 A, 1 B, 2 B, was all of 
the yellow flint type, and the kernels hard and of excellent quality, 
the four series forming one system. 
Plat 3 A was planted with Waushakum corn, twelve of the most 
perfect ears obtainable, furnishing the seed. The hills 42 x 44 inches, 
six kernels planted, afterward thinned to four. The upper 1-20 acre 
uncultivated, the lower cultivated. The fertilizer used eight hundred 
pounds per acre of Bowker’s Hill and Drill. The yield was,

The intention being to observe the difference, if any, between the butt, 
tip and central kernels used as seed. ‘The results are given in the fol-
