proaue' l. not as great as we expected, from the
hne size OF the ears. connected with the extreme
thicS mode OF planting which was here adopted,
anu mat seemed tn Justly our calculation. The
disappointment existed from causes which we did
not suhceniy estimate in the great number OF mis-
sing ana re-pianed hills; that the stalks of the
planted corn and the ears small, owing to its
oeing planted very thick and the quick growth of

enormous product II woulj he needless 10 make any
further remarks this subject, for your indvdu-
al consideration, as you were the spot; but
provided you should think proper to hand the COM

that The ears were uncommohly large; in many in

NIL, the project, generally, was greater than
when there was one. This variety, when planted,
then exhibits scanty pr duct, not as great as the
sourd seed, but if planted thick it presents proud
superiority. is advantages consis, in making
more grain TO the acre, and OF superior quality
more fodder, and requires less cultivation. /,
would, also, aid, for the aboye reasons, in intro
ducing the contracted and fertile cultivation in

space poor soil and labor, evil of great mag
nitude that demands redress. a few acres of rich
soil, natural and artificial, in low situation, can
be pfocared on almost every farm, which will make
product ter times greater per acre, than an aver
