The Corn Crop.
The Finest in Lancaster
County in Years--The
Causes.

Lancaster cor. the News and
Courier: According to the
Government report issued the
first of the month, as published
in The News and Courier at the
time, on the general condition Of
the grain crop, corn deprecated
several points during July. 1t
has certainly lost nothing III this
part of the country. The con-
sensus OF opinion among farmers
is that they are making the fin
est corn crop within their recol-
lection. All old corn-and the
bulk OF the crop is planted ear
ly-is now practically male, and
it is only the late planting that
is dependent on the seasons from
now on.
Several causes are contlibut-
ing TO a big corn crop this year.
In the first place, as an exper
fenced farmer remarked a day
or two ago, Corn has naturally
grown this year without any ap-
parent effort. A" He said tnat
the present crop reminded him
of the year 1865, when a large
crop OF corn was made without
much preparation and cultiva-
ton, for being the first year after
the war, the people had but lit
tie or no stock with which 10
work their lands. Nevertheless
a fine crop OF corn was made,
even poor lands producing we'll
lands on which the corn was
planted and worked altogether
with the hoe and without any
manure.

Nth the success of this years
crop, but a most potent factor
also is the thoroughness with
which lands were prepared last
spring. followed by intelligent.
systematic cultivation during the
work season. The very marked
improvement In the manner OF
of planting and making corn is
due TO the campaign o. education
along that line started some two
or three years ago, originating
perhaps, with the publicity giver
the famous Williamson plan

A Lesson in Selecting and

one hundred acres worked by

we counted two stalks near tC-

THE LAW OF SELECTION.

forces of this world, good and
evil, to be at perpetual war with
