Cultivation of Corn.

At the several experiment stations
corn has received more than its share
of attention, and many experiments
have been made in order to learn how
to derive the largest yields and to
grow the crop most economically.
Opinions differ, however, as climate,
variety and soil are factors governing
every crop. The Indiana station found
that the best results were obtained by
planting seed in May. 1t has been
shown that the greatest average yield
OF both ears and stocks have been OBJ
tained when the stalks stood about
twelve or fourteen inches apart in the
rows Thick planting, however, re-
duceS the size of the ears, and the per
centage of grain, but thick planting
has, in dry seasons, produced the
heaviest yield of stalks and the high
est yield of ears. So far as depth Of
cultivation Is concerned the yields,
when corn was cultivated one, two
and three inches, have been equal. In
continuous corn culture heavy appli-

not been profitable, but the effect Of
very heavy application Of manure
has been noticed for many years.
There does not seem to be much differ
ence in yields due to any particular
implement used, while hill and drill
paintings of corn have produced the
same average yields. The checking"
of corn is still the most popular and
profitable mode Of growing the corn
at the least cost Of labor. The results
at one station may not correspond
with those obtained elsewhere, but
where the work has extended over Il
number of years the results should be
accepted as important, if not conclu-
