Experiments With Cora.
Experiments with corn at the Ne
braska Experiment Station have just
been compiled and published as Bul
letin 91. Tests of a number of varie
ties of corn in different parts of the
state have been continued. Some
thing over one hundred farmers are
engaged in these tests. It was fonnd
that no one variety of corn is equally
well adapted to all parts of the state
By dividing the state into six sections
it was shown that certain varieties
yiedled best in certain sections and
other varieties in other sections. The
yields obtained by each experimenter
are stated in the bulletin.
Experiments with seed corn from
different states and from different
parts of Nebraska lead to the conclu
sion that seed corn should be raised
as near s possible to the locality in
which it is to be planted.
Seed corn placed in a dry seed room
in the fall gave twenty per cent bet
ter stand in the field than seed corn
from tha same field that was left in
tne crib over winter.
