Mr.. Editor--The following communication
from AN intelligent practical Agriculturalisf,
embraces subject of seasonabie and impor-
liant interest to the farmers. The question of
the effect produced upon the crop OF Indian
Corn by removing the suckers, and the proper
manner and time for doing it, are yet to be
decided by more frequent and accurate ex-
pcriments than appear to have been made
the results having been very different in the
instances heretofore communicated. As the
season has now nearly arrived in which the
experiment may be repeated, il is hoped that
every farmer will give so much of his time
and attention to the subject, as to take the
suckers from at least a single row of his corn.
and carefully note the time and manner of
doing it, with the comparative product of
simias quantity on which the suckers shall be
permitted TO remain.-And il he will still fur
ther ascertain the difference between cutting the
stalks and leaving them to be harvested eth
the corn, and communicate the result of all
his observations to this Society, he would add
much TO the stock of useful information, and
greatly oblige his acknowledgements in the bust
hess Of husbandry.

the growth was very rapid, and there appear
ed TO be greater quantity Of suckers from
the bottom Of the stalks than ever saw be-

would be worthy the attention of our Agri-

the sucker from the stalk, which ! did front
the most of it. By observing, | found that
such proportion of juice from the stalk wept
out where the sucker was taken of, that the
growth was not so large, and the ear set high
er upon the stalk on the part where the
suckers were not taken off, the corn was
thicker set and more promiuent--the cars set
ten or twelve inches higher the ground, and
were good proportion larger. That part or
the field that was planted thrlnest, was the
largest growth the stalks and ears thicker
