L Sweet Corn, 1906. ? As sweet corn is grown by all classes of people, there are quite a large number of applications for seed each year. In the spring of 1906, seed of the Ringleader, Golden Bantam, and Mammoth White Cory varieties were sent out for test, and twenty good reports of this experiment were returned I ii) the fall. The following table gives the average number of ears produced 1 by each variety, the average number of uays required for the corn to reach j the stage in which it can be used for table purposes, and an estimate of the table quality and the comparative value of the different kinds. Experiment. Sweet Corn (20 tests). Ringleader Golden Bantam Mammoth White Cory It will be seen that the number of ears produced by these varieties isalmost exactly equal, and that the Golden Bantam is placed first in tablequality. It is therefore difficult to understand why the last named varietyshould be placed much lower in comparative value than the other two. Theexplanation of this may be found in the fact that the Golden Bantam producessmall ears of yellow color, while the Ringleader and Mammoth AVhite Coryproduce larger ears which are white in color and are therefore better suitedfor the general market. The Golden Bantam is a very palatable corn, andwill therefore stand high in the estimation of many people who prefer qualityrather than quantity. Method of Sowing Mangels. For a number of years, experiments have been conducted at the Collegeto determine whether it was better tn sow the seeds of root crops on drills oron the level ground.
