The test has shown that it is pos
sible to bring almost any medium
variety OF corn to sufficient matur-
ity to produce seed that will grow,
and this under no unusually favor
able conditions. While continuing
experiments that may produce var
ieties suited to our conditions, the
possibilities of yield will also be test
ed. Claims Of 40 bushels per acre
have frequently been made by grow
ers have been secured without spe-
cial effort to secure seed acclimated
to our soil and climate it certainly
is not too much to hope for similar
and even greater yields with better
seed and more favorable conditions.
