A. l.. Sclaetfcr, of Edgar county, Illinois,
has just harvested the largest crop Of Pop
com ever known in the world. From his
lO9 acres he has secured l 800 bushels, just
over seventeen bushels to the acre. 1t cost
him about $l7 an acre to raise, sort and shell
it, and this also includes the rental of the
ground. Owing to heavy rains and the Sc
we're drought which follow, there is less than
one. third of crop the country over. Pop
corn now sells for six cents q pound, but be-
cause OF the shortage in the crop he expects
the plice to go to ten cents pound by next
spring. .-.
