When it is considered that there are
such corn fields in Iowa as Adams
10, 600. acre ranch at Odebolt, produc.
ing $50, 900 bushels every season, and
employing regularly 105 men, it is
little wonder that the state of Iowa
has 400, 600, 600 bushel corn crop
for 1906. Before long 200 men will
start ON the $4,000 acres of corn,
which will all be husked from the
shock. Then the stalks will be shred
ded for the fat cattle before spring.
This corn field is the largest in the
world The full 10, 900 acres was
planted with tested seed and is ex-
pected to yield an average of more
than thirty five bushels to the acre.
