ED. JOURNAL The Compton
corn referred to in your last paper
has been raised by me for the past
two years, and was exhibited last
Fall at what professed to be our
County fair, but which in reality
was nothing but horse race; 1
raised at that time 40 bushels of
shelled corn to the acre on breaking,
for which it is well adapted-hard-
ening in so to 80 days from planting.
1t is of the flint variety, and, there
fare, not so saleable, but well
adapted to short seasons or late
planting. 1 strongly doubt if 200
bushels have ever been raised to the
acre. My seed was obtained from
the agent of the originator and l be-
lieve it to be genuine, and if any
one wishes to try it, l can furnish a
limited amount on more reasonable
terms than quoted by your corres-
pondent. GEO. S. TRUMAN.
