CORN'S NATIVE LAND.

1t has been generally believed that
america was the original home OF corn.

i!ons OF the southwest. The plants raised
III the test averaged less than six feet
iu height with an average of twelve green
leaves at the time Of tasseling. The
ears averaged five and half inches in
i.ngtn and four and one-third inches in
greatest circumference. with sixteen to
,5S:heen rows Of small grains On the up
ler part OF the plant the leaves are all on
nar siae of the stalk. instead Of being ar
ttnSed in TWO rows on opposite sides Be
sides this the upper leaves stand erect, in
cad of dropping, and the tips Of the
raves are therefore above the top of the
tISsel. The silks of the car are produced
i, the point, where the leaf blade is
iuiuc1 to the leaf sheath, and they ap-
pear before there is any Sign OF an ear
except d slight swelling.
THIS corn is very different from any tha.

value is that the erect arrangement of
the leaves on one side of the stalk and
the appearance of the silks in the angle
where the leaf blade joins the sheath offer
a protected place in which pollen can
settle and fertiliZe the silks, before the
latter are ever exposed to the air. This
Is an excellent arrangement for prevent
ing the drying out of the silks before
