The present outlook for Il big
corn crop is tie most promising
in the history of the plains
country. One reason for this is
the fact that nearly all the
ground planted in corn was
broke during the fall or winter,
took the frosts, sno VS. and rains
of early spring before planting,
and has never suffered from dry
weather. A little shower or
two this month with the same
