Mr.. Thomas B, Bedenbaugh is GER
tainly the champion corn raiser OF NO.
9. He harvested &C 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.
