From Two Grains of Corn-When little
Carroll Perkins planted two grains of corn in
the back yard of his home, 125 Mosher street,
last May he had hopes that they would grow
TO be as tall as himself. He planted the grains
four inches apart. They sprouted, and the
stalks began to grow. Carroll knew nothing
about cuItivating corn and did not touch the
stalks for fear of hunting them. Both grew
perfectly straight and at the same rate. They
now measure IL feet inches in height. Each
bore an ear of corn One ear had 600 grains
in it and the other 800 grains. Nothing grew
near the corn. as the brick pavement prevented
any growth. Mr.. William Henry Legg, who
lives in the neighborhood, has watched with
interest the growth of the corn. He was once
farmer, but is unable to explain the wonder:
full development of the corn in the unfavorable
circumstances which surrounded it.-BaItinore
