After the encouraging results of 1879, which have just been re-corded, the examination of many other varieties of sorghum and maizewas continued at the Departmentof Agriculture in 1880,1881, and 1S82,including, in all, the examination of about 100 varieties of sorghumand 20 varieties of maize, for the purpose of determining the natureof certain changes going on during the life of the plant, and especially todetermine that period when, in each variety, the content of sugar wasat its maximum, as, also, to learn the length of time during which thispractical maximum was retained. To this end, the examinations were, in some instances, begun sosoon as a stem had fairly formed in the plant, in order to determinehow early in its life the presence of sugar could be detected; and, inall cases, the examinations were begun long before even the paniclehad appeared, and before any one would think to work the crop foreither sugar or syrup.
