Some black soils are found to

On acid soils phosphoric acid
is almost always needed in ad-

NEW DATA ABOUT CORN.
Shape of Ears Bears a Relation to the
Yield.
The superintendent of the Terns stile
station at 'Temple, after 0 earel•nl
study of the relation of shape of ear
to yield of corm coneludes that slight-
ly tapering parent ear's give the high•
est yield. Thls is in accord with the
results of experiments at the Ohio t s•
periment station, in which extremely
tapering ears gave slightly higher re•
sults than cylindrical ears. High yields
were associated with comparatively
smooth kernel's oe slightly more than
average depth and of medium horni-
ness. The yield increased with un In-
crease in the total weight or the ear Ale
determined by slight increase in length,
amount of grain and rather marked in-
crease in weight of cob.
In experiments at the Ohio and Ne-
braska experiment stations it wits
found that the highest yields were ob-
tained with medium to medium long
eats. Poorly filled butts end tips were
more frequently asseaiated with well
filled .butts than with well tllled tips,
The old score curd pineed much ten-
, phasis on good filling of butts end tips.
' but for several years past lnvestlga-
tors bnve 'been getting, away Ileum
this idea. It has been found (hat
these characters when highly develop-
ed are usually so developed at the ex-
pense of ' more valuable (Ammeters,
such as yield. constitution, etc. There
appeared to be no relation between
yield and shelling percentage 111(11 cir-
cumference nnd widtll or thickness of
