In these figures we are certainly not able to recognize any great 
influence from the fertilizer applied, either during any one year or 
during the three years of cropping. 
Tre Kernets or Corn (Maize) ror Srep. 
In our 1883 trials designed for testing the influence of the position 
of the corn kernel upon the cob, with reference to the crop yielded 
therefrom, we were able to verify the observation of 1882, that. the 
tip kernels yielded larger crop. In our 1884 trials the same result 
occurred. The seed used was the five-but, five-central and five-tip 
seed taken from the same ears of Waushakum corn and planted 
under equivalent circumstances. In 1883 we had under trial ten 
plats of one-twentieth of an acre each, and in 1884 two series of ten 
plats of the same area, the one corresponding to the 1883 plats 
designated as 1884 in the following table : |
