Last spring, says the Dighton Her
aid. Mrs. T. Whiting sent east some
place and obtained few grams of corn
that were dug out of the tomb of some
old Egyptian. Very probably it was
some of the identical corn that Joseph
had stored up previous to the seven
years famine. At any rate, Mrs.
Whiting planted the corn. and like Mr..
Finney's turnip, it grew and it grew and
1t grew, and when Truesdale started for
town last Saturday. at about a quarter
past seven. the stalks were about four
teen feet tall and about as large as his
leg-no, come to think about it, he said
his arm. Truesdale said furthermore
that the stalks were just beginning to
tassle out and he calculates they will
grow considerable higher yet and that
they will produce about eight ears to
the stalk. If this new variety of corn
fulfills present promises the fuel ques
ton in Western Kansas will be solved
without boring any deep holes.
