prizes offered for acre yields was
eighty bushels per acre. Dir. SANDY
said the boys in Nottoway averaged
about the same.
halifax up TO date has the threa
largest yields OF corn to be reported
to come from one county:
r. r. Edwards, Crystal Hill, mace
III 2-3 on one acre; n. A. Tulloh. Al
ton. made 1863 Ia on one acre; W.. II
Dorm, Mt. Laurel, made 1875 2-3 on ono
acre.
Mr.. Edwards had III a-a on his best
acre. and his son. William, had 1oS LIS.
Then Mr.. Edwards had another acre
right adjoining his prize acre thar
measured los bushels per acre, and we
believe these to be the three best
acres on any one farm In the Uniteo
States.
Mr. Tulloh has already won about
5000 in prizes without selling busnci
OF corn, and has been offered good
price for his corn. SO that he could
total about $1,000 for his acre. Does
1t beat the North, West and East!
Well. / should say.

in Halifax. has records OF boys yields

Then there are several around and
below fifty bushels per acre, there

that prevented some Of the boys COM
Ing UP better, and many of those
