520			_aSince sweet corn in the fresh and in the canned condition is widely used for human food, it is desirable to know as much as possible of the relation of cultural practices and crop hazards to its composition and quality. In the field the corn plant is often mutilated in various ways; the root system may be injured by the plow or the cultivator; windstorms may throw the plants to the ground; hail may tear the leaves and greatly interfere with their normal functions; and insects may consume more or less of the foliage and injure the stalks. Theoretically, these conditions which directly affect the nutrition and development of the corn plant should affect the composition and quality of the grains. The object of the present work was to determine whether or not such is the case.
