About hsilf of the crop has already been- asirvesttd and is running between 7f to SO bushels to the sic7-e.

The ears , however. ire not quite so well filled out as Isist rear , though allowing forlifFerence i noisture the yield will be about the samo. This year Prof. Lyons put in betuvou hirty and forty acres , containing thirty- ive different varieties. Every ear that s gathered is carefully examined and if * 'ound perfect it is thrown in one wag- in. while if it shows anj' imperfections it : oes into another wagon. When tiie grsiiia s finally put in the cribs , the ears aro ; gain carefully examined even down to he kernels , smd if a yellow kernel is oiiudon a white ear it is throuwnout. orir white kernel is found on a yellow ear ir * 5 not used for seed. This yield of S ( ?
