We learn from our farmer friends that
much of the corn planted this spring failed
to sprout on account of inferior seed. They
allege that owing to the unfavorable wealth
er for gathering the crop of last year much
of it was cribbed in wet condition, and
during the hard freezing weather of the
winter it was so badly frozen that the germ
of the grain was killed. Some farmers have
replanted patches of their fields where the
corn sprouted in spots.
