corn can be made profitable crop in
Vermont has practical illustration in
the success Of farmer in Mortified,
a report Of which was published in these
columns recently
WI w Holden, q leading farmer in
Central Vermont. has long coRtended
that farmers cannot afford to buzz west
ern corn and has maintained his position
BY making it valuable crop each year
on his own farm. This year from six
acres III yellow corn, he husked and put
in the crib 600 bushels, worth SITS. with
1925 worth Of ensiiage, making $500 at
cost OF 1926 TO raise and harvest the
crop, leaving a profit Of sl75 With two
exceptions, the past season was the poor
est for corn in forty years.
Mr.. Holden also raised for the corn
canning factory n Mortified two acres
OF sweet corn, which cost him $50 to
raise and harvest. and from which he
obtained 87040 for the corn, while the
factory waste which was drawn home
with the same team that brought tho
corn, and the stover placed in the siio,
was valued at a total Of 5000, thus
making net profit Of $50 per acre from
this crop These latter figures show the

many Of them scattered throughout the

whole country with the best sweet corn.
These are practical figures and doubt
