Past Redemption
Nh Editorials the genial warmth of
the SUMS rays admonish us that spring is
at hand and that seed time is near, would
it not be well for farmers to realize the
Importance of planting more corn the
present year. Notwithstanding there was
partial failure last year it should not
deter the farmers in Orleans county in
the least from putting in large acreage
of this most sure and profitable crop.
Last year, although we had an uncom-
mon wet, cold, and backward season and
a very early frost, considerable quite
good corn was raised in this vicinity,
and the stOver that was put in silos,
made good fodder although killed by the
frost Indian corn is a native cereal of
New England and is the surest crop
raised. 1t has failed less times for the
last 50years than any crop grown, and there
has been the largest yields to the acre
here in Vt. of any place on the globe.
Judge F. S. French, whom we all remem-
Der, once made the remark that there
was no crop that would keep poverty
from man like a good crop of corn.
This is true; it is the right thing in the
right place every time. Farmers, plant
more corn instead of buying it. o. p.
