Experiments with Corn.

The report of MessrS Robert II. Miller
and f. H. Brinkley of the Maryland
agricultural Experiment Station, gives
the following as Il summary of results of
experiments with corn for the year 1894.
1. An application of 5000 lbs. offertilizer
on corn increased the yield g. 1 bushels
per acre. but the increased yield was not
sufficient to pay for the application of the
fertilizer.
,. In the test of wide and narrow rows,
the narrow rows gave an increased yield
of GA bushels.
3. Shallow cultivation of corn gave a
slightly better yield than deep cultiva-
ton.
T. Corn which was cultivated three times
yielded Ali bushels per acre; that which
was worked five times yielded 39.5 bushels
per acre.
). Drilled corn gave a rather better Weld
than checked corn.
6. Manure from well balanced ration
made slightly more corn per acre than
manure from poorly balanced ration.

Crop Reports.

The convention of commercial organi-
Washington this week, submitted for the
consideration of the Secretary of A gricul-
ture the following suggestions in regard
to the crop reports in order that they may
be made more satisfactory to the public.
That it is the judgment of the interests
represented in this conference that the of
fetal crop-reporting service should be con-
tinued and that the reports now regularly
issued be continued, with such moditica-
tons as are lately suggested.
That the April report on winter grain
be discontinued, but that all other features
now embodied in that report be continued.
That in all reports concerning acreage
of the various crops reported upon the de-
partment give the area by States in acres
as well as by the percentage of the pre-
vious years area.
That the department, instead of having
principal correspondent and three assis-
tants in each county, as at present, make
an effort to secure the regular services of
one or more reporters in each township,
all to make their reports directly to the
department at Washington.
That in the selection of these cores
pondents they should not be taken from
farming classes exclusively, but should in
clude, so far as possible, representatives
| Of all classes of rural industry.
That the department discontinue the
employment of salaried State agents in the
regular crop-reporting work
That returns of reserves of wheat corn,
oats and cotton be had for dates represent
ing the close of the crop years, wheat on
July |, oats on August l, corn on Novcm-
Der and cotton on September l.
That arrangements be perfected with
the United States consular service for
sending by cable to the department on or
about the ninth of each month statement
giving the best available information con-
corning prospects for crops of grain and
cotton in their respective districts. to be
published in connection with the domestic
crop report when issued.
That it is the sense of this conference
that a law should be enacted Furnishing by
fine and imprisonment any employee ofthc
Department of Agriculture who divulge>
to any one outside of the Department OF
\ yriculture any statistical or other gen
eral information of the department pre-
