It issupposed to bean first found in cultivation by the year 1006 A. D,y and by them introduced into the old world between that date and 135A.D. There are earlyreferences to agrain, supposed to be Indian corn or maize, having been cultivated in Spain, Italy, the South of Fy along the banks of the V pre to 1492, and some writers have aseribed to it anoriental orig However, itis certain that maiz neither widely known nor gen used until afler the historical of Ameri The majority of invest western birthplace, wnce, and fous Central st recorded attempt at cultiva- tion by Europ colonists was madeon thebanks of the Jamesriver in 1607, w hen the men sent over bp the **London com- pany’” toolk les<ons from the Indians.

Theearth was kept mellow ‘with nshell or bone hoes,and the ficlds were watched and protecied from the ravages of birds. same mounds were us witil they beenme three or four groups of s apart, A method was in use among the Navajo Indians of the aril southwest, which bears some resemblance o “list: ing’”” as now practiced. The kerne sometimes wrpped in @ ballof mud, were dropped in holes twelve to eigh- teen inelics deep. When tho plints commenced togroy thedirt was filled in around the stal It is 1 that the Indians could in this way rase good crops where the onlinary surface plant- ing wus a failue. The varieties of corn are very numer- ous. There seems to be no eni of new kinds produced by crossing and hy bridi- zition. In color itis of all shades, mot- tled, striped, and vaviously marked with whife, pink, red, yellow, blue and bluck. The cars vary in length from one to fif- teen inches, and bears from eight to thirty-six rows of kernels, Originally the ears geemto have had anodd num- ber of rows, nine, eleven, or thirteen,but that arrangement has now entirely dis- appeared, We have commenced aseries of ex- periments at the college farm on the planting, cultivation und growth of this great staple, We desire toplace ou record exact information as Ul the cost of production, per bushel and peracre, in the v s counties of thestate, It will not only be afavor, but will be of much valueto the producer if such in- formation can be obtained.

Yetin muui instances, this result has been reached by accident rather than design. Soin sheepbrecding, the results have notbeen réwehed by care or thought even, except by the the French govern- mant and yot there is noclass of stock in the world in which certain results by careful preeding can be reached so quicklyas in o flockof sheep.
