Quid pro quo'
The subscriber offers to farmers through
out the country the
EGYPTIAN CORN,
which, upon trial, was found to ripen, planted
even the last Of July. 1t is estimated, from
its very prolific quantities, to yield $50 bush
els per acre, and weighs, by sealed measure,
sixty-fve pounds to the bushel. This corn
was produced by some procured direct from
Mr.. Jones, our consular agent, directly on
his return from Egypt.
1t needs no different culture from that of
other varieties, and in the South two crops
can be raised in one season on the same
ground. 1t grows in the form of tree, and
thirty-four ears have grown upon one slalk,
and will average from five to fifteen. For do
nestle use it is unparalleled. When ground
and properly bolted, it is equal in color and
ineness to wheaton -four. As forage crop,
by sowing in drills or broadcast, for early
feed, there is no kind Of corn so we'll adapted
to mich cows, and none that will yield half
the value in stalk or corn.
1t can be successfully grown in any State.

it to be and further, l am the only person
throughout the country who has this variety
y,
now able to fill all orders for those desirous
of testing it..
