Fine Patch of Corn.
Mr.. Haskell G. Stanton of Bethel,
was In Yorkville last Wednesday on
business and in the course Of a con-
versation with several gentlemen In
the clerks office, referred incidentally
to a splendid patch OF corn that has
been raised by DIR. Thomas w. Camp
bell, long known as the best farmer In
Bethel township. II have not seen this
patch," said Mr.. Stanton; but my un-
derstanding is that there are four and
a quarter acres of II and the doctor
estimates that the yield will be at the
rate of one hundred bushels to the
acre. The corn Is OF prolihc va
riety, the name of which / forget, and
there are lots Of stalks that have as
many as four or five ears each. The
doctor is estimating $50 ears to the
bushel, and from what understand he
will probably get rather more than
a hundred bushels to the acre MI.
Stanton went on to say that Rev. w.
B. Arrowood has fine patch OF corn
raised In accordance with the Will
Hanson stunting method He spoke
very highly of Mr.. Arrowood as
farmer.
