The farmers are on their metal since
the BAzoo, sometime ago, referred to
some fine corn which had been
brought to the Office and almost daily
specimen ears are brought in which
are wonderful in the perfection and
number of grains. So far, Pettis
county seems to be ahead, but there
are many more counties to hear from
and there is no telling how soon the
BAzoo will be obliged to build crib
in which to store the collection of fine
corn which is accommodating. 1t is

specimens furnished it are ample EVIL
