No gain Is made in yield or maturity
by planting corn before conditions of
soil and atmosphere are right, in the
opinion of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Corn growers
In localities with a long season have
observed that early and late paintings
of the same variety usually show wide
differences in growth and number Of
days required TO reach maturity. In
general, corn which is seeded early
requires a longer time to come up than
that which is planted later. The plants
also grow more slowly, are shorter.
aud bear their ears lower. These are
commonly observed effects of the date
Of planting.
Best Yields From Early Seeding.
Studies recently have been made by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture at the Arlington experimental
farm near Washington, d. c., In order
TO obtain data which would supplement
that obtained earlier at the various
state experiment stations. Numerous
experiments have been conducted by
the state agricultural experiment sta
lions TO determine the influence of
the different dates Of planting on corn
yields. The state experiments re-
viewed indicate that the best yields
OF grain may be expected from the
early seedlings and the most rapid de-
velopment and greatest growth from
the later seedlings. Neither the X
tremely early nor the very late plant
lngs are desirable.
The department Investigations were
directed more to a study of the effects
upon growth and development than
to determining the most desirable date
Of planting from the standpoint of
yield. The results OF these studies.
which extended over a ~ive-year period,
are presented in Department Bulletin
No. 1014, Effect Of Date Of Seeding
on termination, Growth, and Develop
ment of Corn, by K. b. Brown and
III. s. Garrison, which may be had
upon application to the department.
The varieties Of ORR used In the
experiments cover a wide range In the
length Of the growing eason required.
The data tabulated are limited to the
characters that seem to have been
consistently affected, although the
points studied included the rapidity
Of termination. the number Of days
from emergence to rlpening, the height
Of stalks, the number Of ears per plant,
the average weight of ears. the average
yield per plant, and the numbe1 Of
suckers.
In all the experiments the germina-
ton Of corn increased In rapidity as
the date OF seeding occurred later.
When sown early the short-season
northern varieties came up sooner than
the varieties from the central and
southern states. When sown later
the differences in this respect were not
usually apparent.
