The yield per acre, calculating eighty pounds of ear corn to the 
bushel, was —- 
Butt seed yielded 62.98 bushels sound corn. 
Central seed yielded 62.50 bushels sound corn. 
Tip seed yielded 64.71 bushels sound corn. 
We thus can conclude prima facie, that the kernels from one portion 
of the ear are as good as those from another, and that there is certainly 
no inferiority for the tip seed. 
In these cases the seeds used were the five butt, five central and five 
tip kernels taken from the same ears. . 
We observe that in the five trials in every case the tip seed yielded 
larger crop than did the central seed, and in three cases more than did 
the butt seed. 
These tenth-acre plats received different cultivation in the upper 
and lower portion, so we can secure additional evidence through the 
harvesting of each half separately. ‘The figures were as below:

From this view we also derive the same conclusion as before, that 
the tip kernels of corn are in no wise inferior to other kernels for use 
as seed. 
The tip kernels proved. not less reliable for vegetation than did the
