BLUE RIBBON CORN CROP.

;. w. Hudson RAISED I5s Bushels OF
Corn on a single Acre and 4I9 Bush-
els on Three Acres at the Rstting
Farm In North HinsdsIs.
The blue ribbon for corn crop ought
undoubtedly to go to S. W. Hudson, who
raised on single acre of land on the So
called Retting farm in North Hinsdale,
lately occupied by Henry N. Dyke, 1853
bushels of corn on the ear. This corn Is
of the Holden variety, about two-thirds is
seed corn, and the ears are uniformly
large with even rows of hard, handsome
kernels. This corn was planted in rows
three feet apart. A piece of land on
which oats had been grown was turned
over, and the only fertilizer used was barn
yard manure. The soil was somewhat heavy.
Mr.. Hudson had fine field of corn of two
acres, similarly treated, on lighter soil near
er the main road between Hinsdale and
Brattleboro. The total yield on the three
acres was ALP bushels. The corn was
planted early and the fields were hoed twice
and horse-hOed once. Eugene Hastings,
Herbert Barrett and Mr.. Thomas of North
Hinsdale, who assisted In husking the corn,
vouch for the correctness of the Weld of
corn. A basket of this corn shells out 2I
quarts. Mr.. Hudson is a successful far
mer, and large crops from his farm are the
rule rather than the exception. He dug
SOo bushels of potatoes from one acre this
