Enormous Yield of Corn.

The following is the statement of Mr.. GEO.
WALKER of Susquehanna county, who took q
premium of $50 at the annual meeting of the
Agricultural Society. last week, for the largest
crop of corn, being 100 bushels of shelled corn

equalled IN the United States. There were
several other competitors but 964 bushels to
the acre, raised by John r. Bitter, of Lancaster
county, was the next highest. and SO, by John
A. Nj Rea of White Marsh, Montgomery county.
