THAT Boy Corn RAIsER.-It seems
that the one thousand four hundred and
four pounds of corn raised by young Mill
ken in Maine. for which he took the first
premium offered by Stillman B. Allen,
Esq, of Boston, was one thousand four
hundred and four pounds of ears, and not
of grain. This was grown on one-eighth
of an acre, making the actual yield about
one hundred and sixty bushels to the acre.
The average crop of all the contestants,
eight in number, was at the rate of one
hundred bushels and four quarts to the
acre. Yet the premium offered by Frank
W. Miller of Portsmouth, N. H., of one
hundred dollarsin gold TO any farmer in
hat state who would raise one hundred
bushels of shelled corn to the acre has
never been called for. We have been
trying, oursef, fer the past ten years to
, get such crop, but have not yet achieved
success. We intend to keep to work at it,
for notwithstanding so many failures, we
believe it can be done. We have several
times gone over eighty bushels, and the
large proportion of short and imperfect
ears in such crops shows plainly that if a
full growth is got more than one hundred
bushels to the acre will result IIUtch-
| man.
