For this table we observe that the weight of crop from each 100 
plants was for the 
But seed 37.0 lbs. merchantable, 1.3 lbs. unmerchantable ears. 
Central seed 36.2 lbs. q 1.3 lbs. + 
Tip seed 35.6 lbs. “ 1.4 lbs. oe i 
The average weight of the merchantable ears was for the

Calculating the yield per acre, during the various trials, and call- 
ing 80 lbs. of ear corn a bushel, we have for actual yields,—

We are hence justified in the belief that the tip kernels from good 
ears are as good for crop as the central kernels, where flint corn is 
used. It may be so with other races, but our trials haye been con- 
fined to the flint variety Waushakum alone.
