APnl 7- 14 3t The Patent Torn. copy OF MR. BADEN'S LETTER. Year Nottingham. Prince Georges Co., Jan 26, 1^37. SJIR I received yours of the I4tb. making inqui ry respecting the " Maryland Corn," which you onderstnr>d I had raised. IJiave the pleasure to say, that I have brought this corn to its high state of per fection, by carefully selecting the best seed in the field for a long courseof years, having especial refer ence to those stalk* which produce the most ears. When the corn was husked I then made a re-selec tion, taking only that which appeared sound a id ful ly ripe, having a regard to the deepest and best col or, as well as to the size of the ear. In the spring, liefore shelling the corn, I examined it again, and se lected that which was the best in all respects In shelling the corn, I omitted to tak?fe the large and ?mall kernels at both the large and small ends. T have carefully followed this mode of selecting seed corn for twenty^ two or twenty-three years, and still continue to do so. When I first commenced it was with a common kind of corn, for there was none oth er in this part of the country. If any other person undertook the same experiment I did not hear of it ; I do not believe others have exercised the patience to bring the experiment to the present state of per fection. At first I was troubled to find stalks with even two good ears on them ; perhaps one good ear and one small one, or one good ear and a " nubbin." It was several years before I could discover much benefit resulting from my efforts ; however, at length the quality and quantity began to improve, and the improvement was then very rapid- At present I do not pretend to lay up any seed without it comes from stalks which bear four, five, or six ears. 1 have seen stalks bearing eight ears. One of my neighbors in formed me that he had a single stalk with ten perfect ears on it, and that he intended to send the same to the Museum at Baltimore. In addition to the nam ber of ears, and of course the great increase in quan tity nnsheffed, it mav be mentioned, that it yields much more than common corn when shelled. Some gentlemen, in -whom I have fall confidence, informed me they shelled a barrel (ten bushels of ears'! of my kind of corn, which measured a little more than six bushels. The common kind of corn will measure aboat five bushelsonly. I believe I raise double, or nearly so. to what I could with any other corn I have ever seen. I generally plant the corn about the first of May, and place the hills five feet apart each way, and have two stalks m a hill. I can supply you with * all the seed you may need, and I suppose I have no m my corn-house fifty, and perhaps more stalks, with the corn on them as it grew in the field, and none with leas than four, and some six or seven ears on them. I will with pleasure send you some of these stalks, and also some seed corn, if I can get an oppor iunity Early last spring I let George Law, Esq., of Balti more city, have some of this seed corn ; he sent it to his friend in Illinois, with instructions how to manage it; A few weeks since, he informed me that the in crease was one hundred and twenty bushels on an jcts; that there was no corn in Illinois tike i:, and that it produced more fodder than any oiher kind. I ^ave supplied many friends with seed corn, but some yf there have planted it with other corn, and will, I fear, find it degenerate. I have lately been inquired of if this corn was not ' later than ether kinds 1 -? It is rather earlier? certain ty net later. Com planted in moist or wet soils will not ripen so quick as that which is planted on dry joiL In the former there will be found more damp ness in the cdb, although the kernel may appear equally, ripe in both, fn the two last years, the wet seasons have injured much, corn that was too early u lofted" or housed . I believe I have answered most of your inquiries. I hope I have not exaggerated ? 1 have no motive for doing so. I raise but fettle corn to sell, as tobacco is -my principal erop. Should I fail to send you some seed this spring, I will next summer gather some stalks with the com, fodder, and tassels and all, as they grow, ant^send to you, that you may judge yourself o? the superiority of this over the common kind of corn. Yonr's <fec. THOMAS N. BADEN. Hon. H. LJJIiuLSWorth, Commissioner of Patents, Washington City. [Extract from Mr Ellsworth's Letter.} : uPat*ntOpficjk, Jan. 30, 1837. u Snt : ? Hearing of some great improvement that had been made ~m the common corn, I addressed a letter to Mr. Baden, a highly respectable gentleman in Maryland, to ascertain what facts I could n the subject. His letter is very interesting, nnd I trans mit you a copy oft. This experiment of Mr. Baden shows most clearly what can be done ro improve seeds, by carefully selecting each year the best kind Theoretical opinions sustain Mr. Baden : but few experiments have been tried so successfully. What might he effected for agriculture by siirilar efforts 1 * The line efforts in improving the breed of animals haw* been crowned with great success, especially in Europe. I avail myself of this opportunity to send yoa a smell sample of the corn mentioned by Mr. B? en. I wil only add, that I have conversed with several persona who have planted the " Baden" com, and the concurrent opinion of all sustains the statement made in the letter. I have a few aamples at the Patent Office, of corn raised in this neighbor hood, which has four and five ears on a stalk : and I expect soon some stalks containing six, seven, and eight ears. If this corn were generally introduced, how greatly the amount of bread-stuffs might be in creased, without any extra labor. I hope some pub lic spirited citizens will try to improve wheat, oats, barley, and other grains " The above Corn for sale by R. E. RUSSELL. Feb. 24. ....
