The value ofthis shrinkage factor for this sweet corn is per cent. That is 300 lbs. of corn whenharvested, will weigh lbs. when air dry. * * Calculated in this and the following tables on the basis of 61 lbs. of air dried earsto the bushel. The most important of the facts brought out by this table areshown graphically in Figs. 232 and 233. EIXPDRIMENTS IN BREe;dING SWEET CORN. 297. KERNELS PER HILL. Fig. 232. Diagram showing the relative rate of yield in bushels peracre of sweet corn according to the number of kernels planted to thehill, without subsequent thinning.
