FINE CORN
Some samples of corn with two
good ears on each stalk were
brought to town and left at both
banks this week.
This corn was raised by J. Z.
Rogers, ten miles southwest of
town.
It was raised almost without
rain, and the stalks are from
eight to ten feet high and it will
make about thirty bushels per
acre.
The land that this was raised
pn was fiat broke, double listed
and harrowed three times before
planting.
Corn that was planted at the
same time on single listed land
made almost a complete failure.
It pays to prepare land before
planting crops of any kind.
