The Owensboro Messenger says:

The Owensboro Messenger says:

and each owning an island which pro-
duces about the finest corn in the

The big corn growers do not eX-
pect 10 get as much for their crop Of
1909 as they did for the 1905 crop. On
every side it is anticipated that the
growing crop will yield in excess of
three million bushels and this figure
has never been reached. This supply
is such that the demand will not
reach it and the price will probably
not be what it is this year or even
what it was last year. Anyhow the
returns to the Daviess county corn
growers will be very large this year,
for the crop is in good condition and
if more rain comes soon it will be
perfect.
