ears on So rods of land. 1t was very sound,
nice, hard corn, too. with no soft and imma-
ture ears, as is proved by examination of
corn in the crib. 1t was planted the 5lst
day Of May The land was plowed in the
fall and dressed with / cords of stable
manure. Three hundred pounds of fertil-
lzer was used i'll the hills--10O lbs. of Pack

Those dressed with Packers Union fertilizer
yielded 2S bushels, those with the Buffalo
80 bushels, those with BoWker, 33 bushels
Seven rows of the Packers Union ground
