CORN AS A SLICE CEOP.
Summary of Five Years Results Gained at
the Maine Experiment station.

| Summary of Five Years Results Gained at
the Maine Experiment station.
The report of the Maine station for
1891 gives summary of three years
work in testing the relative production
of food material by various fodder and
root crops 1t appeared that the large
variety of corn known as Southern
White produced the greatest amount of
digcstible dry substance per acre. ex-
ceiling root crops, Hungarian grass and
other varieties of corn. Since 1891 a
comparison bcwteen varieties of corn
has been continued. This has been done
because the corn crop is an important
one to Maine dairymen and because the
problems connected with its growth in
Maine are local in their nature and can
not be solved by experiments in other
states, excepting possibly New Hamp-
shire and Vermont The most common
question asked in this connection is,
Which are the most profitable varieties
to grow, the large which mature only
i'll latitude south of New ENGLAND or
the smaller, which complete their1growth
in this climate?
The study of the corn crop was CON
Quoted in 1892 and 1898 in much the
same manner as in previous years. only
somewhat more COMPREHENSIVE The
results secured are cuncisclv stated
along with the figures for tho three wears
previous. These figures show large
variation in production in different
years under conditions other than the
season, quite uniform. This variation
Is not alone in gross weight Of crop. but
in dry matter as well. Had these oxper-
imcnts ended in 1891 the outcome would
have been decidedly favorable to the
large variety of Dent corn but in J 500
and 1898 the relation of yield has been
reversed and the smaller variety of Flint.

that another five years series Of com
Parsons would furnish a somewhat sim
liar experience.
The general outcome for the five years
Is slightly favorable to the large variety
Of corn if we consider only the yield of
digcstible dry matter. But when we take
account of the fact that in the one case
an average If - tons more of material
have annually been handled over several
times we are led to conclude that the
smaller less watery variety of corn has
really proved the more profitable. 1t is
significant also that the largest Yield
Of dry matter III any instance has been
from the small variety. While the flint
corn grown in this state is not capable
OF storing so much dry substance as the
large varieties Of Dent corn under cir
cumstances equally favorable for both,
the latter cannot III this latitude reach
anything like maturity, and so loses the
advantage Of that period when growth
is most rapid.
