MI Y. Bosley Littig, of Baltimore. who was
one OF those mainly instrumental in origina-
ting the Corn Special in Maryland. has re-
ceiVed number of encouraging letters from
people congratulating him on the work ac-
complished for the farmers
Mr.. S. W. Dorsey, of Church Creek, writes
mat although the corn special did not reach
dorchester county, the farmers have followed
the teachings through the papers and many
are adopting the method advised of testing seed
corn. He says the county is great grain GEN.
ter and well suited to carry into effect the gos-
pei, as many plant late. Continuing, the
writer says
The best corn ever raised on our farm was
not put in before May Goth. This date is adj
hered 10 as it throws the so days for growth in
the very best seasons for corn culture and
wards off many ills of earlier planting. Ny
corn was selected by the Worlds Fair commit
tee and sent to Chicago as the finest specimen
from Maryland"

Iowa, writes: II am in receipt OF the clip
pings you sent me from the Baltimore papers
