WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Sept 16.-Al-
though this season of the year always
brings forth numerous "tallest corn
stories, many of which are imaginative,
Webster city has on exhibition a corn
stalk which is by actual and veracious
measurement 16 feet and three inches
in length. This remarkable stalk is on
exhibition at local bank, and in the
field from which it was cut there are
many other stalks nearly as high. The
highest ear on the stalk is nine feet
and seven inches above the ground,
and only a giant could husk it without
using a step-ladder. Practically the
entire field will have to be cut before
the corn can be husked, as most of the
ears are at too great height to be
reached by the ordinary man.
