EGYPTIAN CORN.

The following from Walton's Jomrna
upon this grain, which we advertised il
good faith, affords US little consolation
although wei feel that we, and several o
our readers have been swindled. w,
never have been able to get one word from
the advertiser, either in reply to our or
ders or to letters of inquiry.
We should like to be informed about
his conduct with Others as we have the
impression pretty strongly fixed in ouI
mind that he has probably made pretty
extensive swiudle, in receiving orders
and not responding to them.
But here is what Mr.. Walton says Of
the corn:
EGYPTIAN CoRN.--Ours has had rap
id and monstrous growth. 1t was plant
ed June 6, and we now find stalks meas
uring seven feet from the top Of the hill
to the tip Of the longest leaf. and from
FIVE to seven inches in circumference at
the butt. By measurement we found the
growth between Friday and Saturday
evening last to be six inches. There is
yet no sign of bloom; SO we hardly expect
ripenel corn, and doubt whether the crop
will be best for fish poles or bean poles.
