Upon this most extraordinary crop Sec.
rotary Klippart remarks:
1t is much to be regretted that no clue
is given of the number Of pounds 10 the |
bushel, or the season oil the year when II |
was weighed. A practice prevails in |
some portions Of the State to estimate |
three half bushels Of ears Of corn as equiv.
alent TO one bushel Of SheLtd corn; by this |
the above crop would be 1891
bushels oil shelled corn per acre, Even
at this estimate it exceeds any crop ever
grown in the Miami or Sciota Valleys Of |
which we have any record.
This corn was Of the Mammoth Dent
variety.
