One of our staff had the pleasure
to meet Mr.. Riggio, one Of our pros
porous planters last Thursday and in
conversation regarding crops he stated
that ON the Grand Maris lands that
have recently been drained lie has corn
standing that will measure ninteen
feet seven inches from the ground to
the top of the tassel with five ears
of corn at intervals along the stalk,
this shows the wonderful fertility of
soil that three years ago was the home
of the duck, frog and alligator. This
crop grew so rapidly that the necessary
cultivation could not be given before
it was too large and inconsequence but
one working could be given, by an es-
innate conservatively made, this corn
crop will make nearly one hundred
bushels per acre. It will be good
plan for Mr.. Riggio to load up train
of cars with this soil and take it to
Crowley and sell for fertilizer
