Capt. Rainey, manager Of the con-
Wet farm, states that he has worked
over his first planting OF corn, about
| five hundred acres, three times, and
that it is good looking crop, promis-
ing fine yield. Every hill Of that
corn has been fertilized with CONNER
cial fertilizer, and should the seasons
be on an average, the harvest will be
large. But that is not all the corn the
Rankin farm will raise. Durinf the
past week or two three hundred acres
Of late corn has been put in the
ground, and in the event that the sea-
sons hit it right there will be another
great harvest field next fall. 1t was
found impossible to plant the second
crop Of corn before now, on account
Of the continued rains and the wet
condition of the ground, but the early
crop has not been neglected, and Capt.
Rainey is satisfied that his crop is 60
ing to be first rate one in spite Of the
spring weather, provided the summer
and fall happens TO be what is needed.
