SUCKERS ONINDIAN CORN

Farmers have been divided in the opinion wl,c-
tlcr II was best to deprive Indian com OF the
suckers which are given out from the roots, &c.
not. We have been inclined 10 the opinion that il
was best, considering them as deprivng the kernel
OF food which ii ought TO have and thereby lessen
ing the crop.
Some statements in the last Cultivator il correct
prove thai ii IS wrong to cut them OFF, bu, that they
should be allowed to spindle and become maurod
with the other stalks. Why this should be done
will be best understood by stating a few items of
the process Of lcrtzing the seeds of plants. Itis
fact, that plants both male and female and that
the yellow dust pollen which is produced by a
certain part Of the flower must be received por-
ton OF II by another part of the flower or plant and
conveyed to the seeds they will never come to
turiy Now pollen, IN Indian corn, is formed by the
spindle, and tbs must descend upon the silk whchis
put ont from the hu>k or car and be thence CON
veycd 10 the seed, and causes ii to become matured
OF rlpcned. Hence the reason why some rows of
corn IN an car or the tips OF some ears, have no
kernels they have not received any pollen The
statement of the person alluded to is to the follow
my rlrport, viz The lower portion of the kernel,
put on the silk FIRST and the higher ones in sue
cession--a new circle Of them presenting them
selves continually until they are all OUT and all I'M
pregnated. Now the male blossoms, on the spin
die, do not remain IN v,gof more than 81 days. and
II the wtathcr be hot and dry not so long. There
dangc, therefore, that all the kernels will not be-
come icslllizcd by the main stalks, but the suckers
coming after IN succcssion will afford sufficient for
the purpose, and the ears become TILED There i,
mol the least doubt the scene of the necessity of
The pollen of the spindle for rendering the kernel
Of the eaf plump and good; bun the question to
be decided Is--docS tho spindle OF the main stalk
ever fail Of doing lhisl If it i, common for them
10 do THIS then the suckers, if they grow up and
spindle ~ 'eason, are absolutely necessary, and
should never be cut down. II is a subject worth
examining and We hope Our farmers will watch
narrow hi, sulnucr and test the truth of it,
