PROSPERITY, August 1T is COM

Mr.. Thomas B, Bcdenbaugh is GER
tainly the champion corn raiser of No.
8. He harvested 66 bushels of corn from
thrce-quarters Of an acre last season.
We visited his patch the other day and
if we are good at a guess, we should say
that Mr.. Bedenbaugh will gather 100
bushels from his three-quarters OF an
acre. Why is it the farmers buy so
much corn? Because they don't try to
raise it.
