as corn loves a warm climate this crop
would succeed better in the Southern
States than in the North, Bat it
not, and the failure appears (o be due
to the long time required to ripen the
grain, All the Southern varieties have
very ‘arge cobs, and the grain remains
in the milky st long time, The
truth is thai the Southern Sutes have
fewer hours of sunshine and longer
nights than States farther north,
Where the nights are longest the plant
is chilled so that the heat the day
