IA hSON Sci Ell IL.
Kezar Falls, Sept. 6. We have read in
the press of the past few years more or
less as to the cost Of raising corn. In the
Grange meetings it is discussed consider
ably. At the county conventions able
papers are read as to how we shall stop
the flow of SO much money from this
State West to buy corn. Yet we do not
see as there is more corn raised or less
shipped into the State. This town is
proud-or should be-of a young man by
the name of Lewis Pendleton, who
claims the stoutest piece of corn in this
section. 1t is sight worth seeing. The
corn is about eight feet in height, and
will average eight and nine ears to the
hill; most of the stalks have two large
ears, and it is almost impossible to pass
through betw ZEN the rows without break
ing down s, m of it. Many visit it every
day, and come away with the same ex-
pression-"I never saw the like of it. -
There is a little strong three acres in the
piece, and good judges set it at 500 BUSH
els OF ears. The lowest estimate that we
have heard Is 450 bushels of ears. Mr..
Pendleton says If he has good luck in
harvesting the corn and gets $50 bushels,
1t will not cost him over ten cents per
bushel. If corn can be raised for ten cents
in Parsonsfield we fail to see why it can
not be raised in other towns in this sec
tion; for, allowing us to be judges,
there is Just as good corn land outside of
this town as in it,. II the readers of the
PRESS want to see the best piece Of corn
in the State of Maine, ask Lewis Pendex-
ter to show it to you.

The following is taken from reliable
authority: A certain farmer of this place
owns an apple orchard that returns him
quite a sum nearly every year. Last year
in particular he realized nearly $500 on
his apple crop alone. Quite recently he
told the PRESS representative that he
had just one apple in his whole orchard,
and that was second quality Greening.

CROWDED JAVA.
Twenty-four Million People on an Island
the Size of New York.

Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, author OF
"Jinriksha Days." writes paper entitled
prisoners of State at Boro Boedor," for
the September Century" 1t is an ac-
count of the visit of two American ladies
to the vast Buddhist ruins in the middle
of Java. Miss Scidmore says:
Every few miles there were open red
tinted pavilions built over the highways
as. refugees for man and beast from the
scorching sun of one season and the cloud
burst showers Of the rainy half of the
year. Twice we found busy passers going
on in groves beside these rest houses
picturesque gatherings of men, women,
and children, and displays of fowls, fruits,
nuts, vegetables, grain, sugar, spices,
gums, and flowers, that tempted one to
llnger and enjoy, and to photograph
every foot ofssthe passer's area The main
road was crowded all the way like a city
street, and around these passers the high
way hunlned with voices.
"One can belive in the density of the
opulatlon-twenty-f y-four million people
on this island of 49,197 square miles,
about the size of the State of New York
when he sees the people trooping along
these country roads; and he can well TIN
derstand why every foot of land is eulti-
waited, however in the benevolent land
of the banana everyone must produce
something: must work or starve Men
and boys toiled to the passer, bent over
with the weight of one or two 1nonstrous
jackfruits or durians on their backs. A
woman with baby swinging in the
slandang over her shoulder had tied cack-
ing chickens to the back of her belt, and
trudged on comfortably under her urr-
brella; and a boy slung brace of ducks
from each end of shoulder pole. and
trotted gayly to the passer.
''The kampongs, or villages, when not
hidden in palm and plaintain groves be-
hind fancy bamboo fences, We're rows of
open houses on each side of the highway.
and we reviewed native life at leisure
while the ponies were changed. The
friendly, gentle little brown people well
coined MS with amused and embarrassed
smiles when our curiosity as to saroug
painting, lacquering and mat weaving
carried lis into the family circle. The
dark, round-eyed, star-eyed babies and
children showed no fear or shyness. and
the tiniest ones-their soft little warm
brown bodies bare of ever garment save
of cotton slandang in which they euddle
so confidingIy under the mothers pro-
tecting ar1n-let us lift and carry and
play with them at will"
