Description

The corn experiment embraced a set of thirty-nine plats, each containing sixty rows; twenty-four hills in length. Thirty-three of these plants were planted with different varieties of corn, eighteen of dent and fifteen of flint; the rest being used for experiments in deep and shallow cultivation. On the first thirty-three plats the planting began on the seventh and eighth days of May. Two rows of each plat were planted every day for thirty consecutive working days. It may/ perhaps, be unnecessary to state that these daily plantings were made with the object of determining the corn growing season, when germination begins and the extreme length of planting time.
