few of those developed by corn
breeders and a considerable num-
Der of the best local strains in the
State. This has given us an op-
portunity of studying the behav-
ior of these varieties with a view
of comparing the yields. Many of
the local strains are of good yield
ing stock but lack quality in that
they do not carry high percent
age Of shelled grain as do the i'm
proved sorts.
A study of sweet corn varieties
was conducted and will be carried
on this year. During 1914 the re-
suits from the sweet corn varie-
ties were highly satisfactory.
Three different dates Of paintings
were made. About thirty varieties

REPORT FROM AGRON-
OMY DEPARTMENT
Interesting Crop Investigation

The following returns from the
crop Investigations at the Della
ware College Farm were recently
submitted in a report by Professor
A. E. Grantham, Agronomist.
Crop Observation-Disclosures
During 1914-1915 the depart
ment continued it's study of varie-
ties of wheat. Wheat of the same
variety from various sources has
been compared in order to check
up the few varieties as to name.
The studies have had to do par
ticularly with the relative capac-
ity, resistance to disease, and gen.
eral adaptability for this section.
A special study has been made of
the tillering habits of these varie-
ties as we'll as to the rate of seed
ing. During the year an expert
ment was conducted as to the eff
feet of different rates Of seeding
with a large number of varieties.
as indicated in the results of 1914
there seems to be considerable
competition resulting from the
different rates of seeding with the
different sorts. 1t was found that
some varieties decreased in length
of straw, length of head and yield
of grain as the rate of seeding OF
seeding increased. Other varie-
ties decreased somewhat by heav-
ier seeding but at a decidedly
lower rate. The general conclu-
sions are that certain varieties,
particularly the bearded sorts, are
less effected by the heavy seeding
than the beardless types. This
result is in line with our other in
vestigations in regard to the pro-
ductivity and hardness of the

bearded varieties as compared
with the beardless. Continued in
vestigations have shown that the
bearded varieties are better yield
ers than the beardless one year
with an other.
Corn
AS corn is the leading crop of
the State, considerable attention
has been given to the study OF va
rieties. Through the agency OF
the Delaware Corn Growers Asso-
citation, some of the better types of
corn have come under the observa-
tion Of this department and they
have ben tested along with the bet
ter known named varieties. About
sixty varieties and strains were
studied last year. These included
we'll known commercial varieties,
