Worthington Valley, 4th District.-Isaw
in the papers last week something about
bumper corn crop in this county and l
thought would take stroll around among
the farmers to investigate little. There are
ally so in this valley. While mention was
made of several farmers in this section the
farm of Mr.. Joseph Friedenwald appears to
have been overlooked. The corn on this fine
estate is as good as any ever saw in the val
ley and don't think it will fall short of Is
over that. The corn on this farm has been
we'll worked and is clear of weeds, showing
that the crop has had careful attention.
Passing from the Friedenwald farm reach
ed that of Mr.. A. w. Fuss and here, too, saw
an extra fine growth of corn, with many large
ears. Here found much grass and high weeds
and asked Mr.. Fuss the cause. He said it was
because he had used heavy granted manure
and this will bring corn every time as well as
grass and weeds.
Mr.. Fuss said he had seen in paper that a
stalk of corn had been exhibited that measur-
ed 16 feet. We went into his field in front of
his house and also did some measuring. We
were not long in finding a stalk that stood 16
feet 81 inches in height. This is what we call
"tall'' corn and what is more it had the ears on
to fit the stalks and this is still better. Mr..
Fuss says that this is what the rich manure
will do as well make the big stalks.
also noticed, while passing over Chestnut
Ridge, that Mr.. jeremiah Baublitts has an ex-
ira fine field of corn and l concluded when he
finishes measuring up he will be close second
to some of his valley neighbOrs, ii he does not
beat many of them outright.
From the above observations conclude that
the corn crop this season will be larger than
for many years. People are beginning to rec.
ognize the fact that corn is the farmers great
crop and think more attention will be paid
to it in the future.
Mrs. Friedenwald, wife of Mr.. Joseph Erie
denwald, owner of the fine White Hall Manor

She was II years of age and native of Balti-

funeral took place. Besides her husband Mrs.
Friedenwal is survived by twelve children.
