high. This particular stalk grew in a
new ground field. Mr.. Robinson has
some good corn this season, though
his yield, he says, will not compare
with that of the farmers who are con-
testing for the championship. He
states that Mr.. Robert Lineberger
who lives in his community, has the
finest corn on the Union road, not eX-
cepting that of Mr.. Charles Faires
