10 Bushels Of Corn to the Acre.

John w. Hall, of Marion Station, Nd,
had some of the finest corn in the state
on his farm near that place last year
The name of the corn was the MARYLAND
Twin, which was planted for the first
time in that state, by Mr.. Hall. He
planted the corn in May and seeing that
it was making such fine growth, he had
a surveyor meaeure off an acre from
which he harvested 10 bushels of fine
corn. Mr.. fall has the following to say
of his corn:
Maryland Twin corn was planted for
the first time by me in May 1910 and not
expecting to make prize crop no fertil-
izsr or manure of any kind was used on
the land. After the corn began to grow
and make ears, it surpassed anything
that ever saw. Many persons came to
see the corn and by all it was pronounced
to be the best piece of corn ever seen by
them"
"After the fodder was saved, got the
county surveyor to come and lay off an
acre of ground on which the corn grew.
Then gave everybody a pressing invita-
ton to come and see the corn and guess
how much the acre would yield. prom
ised to give the man who came nearest
the number of bushels to the acre one
bushel of corn. Many made guesses, but
Rev, K. X Lewis, pastor of the M. P.
Church at Marion Station, came the near
est, he guessing 100 bushels to the acre.
The corn was gathered very late when
pulled dry and carefully measured in the
presence of witnesses. Tie yield was 40
bushels of shelled corn and weighed 5s4
pounds to the measured bushel The ex-
ira pounds were not counted, which would
have made nearly 5 bushels more to the
acre "
"The corn grows 10 to II feet high and
has from IL to Is rows of corn around a
small white cob, which is from z to 10 !
inches in length. Two to six ears grow
to the stock. Meal from this corn is OF
the very finest quality, pure white, and !
for making corn meal cakes
Of any kind"
1T shells out better than other corn
and makes not only large yield OF corn;
but also the most fodder of any other corn
10 to 20 bushels to the acre is considered
, big yield for ordinary corn in this vicin-

Grangers Want Convict Labor.

Farmers discussing some of the most
important acts of legislation now proposed
in the Delaware Legislature, at meeting
and conference of Capitol Grange at Dover
last week and committees were put out
to look after the interests, directly,of the
farmers.
w G. Moore, chairman of the COM
mittee to make inquiry into the wide diff
ference between the cost of boarding pris-
oners and the amounts charged the coun.
ties by the New Castle County Workhouse
officials, made a report. Mr.. Moore also
stated, in explanation, the prices of
crushed stone, and building stone and
freight rates; to a rise at the cost Of
building permanent roads through Della
ware by the aid of labor of the prisoners,
as well as the advisability of bringing the
prisoners back to the indi sidual counties
and putting them to work, as ia Geoagia
at breaking stone on the roads and build
ing and repairing permanent roads. An
this was presented for discussion in con-
trast to the payment by the counties of
forty cents per day for its prisoners in
the reformatory when the reports showed
that their board actually averaged the
trustees only nine cents per day. The
report of the committee was considered
at length aud then the committee was
continued to make further investigation. |
Assembymen William H. Marvel and |
George W. Tebo were present during the
discussion.
W. G. Moore read the pure seed bill,
which isnow before the General Assembly |
and the farmers saw trouble ahead in
this measure, although they are solidly
arrayed against the adulteration of seeds
and want pure seed legislation
Some of the farmers said that neighbors
in agricultural communities should have
the privilege of selling tested seed to each
other. The bill was, they believed, drawn
in the interests of the dealers in seeds
Others declared that in their opinion
the measure was all right except that
farmers should not be prohibited from
exchanging or selling seed to each other
w. c. Moore felt sure that the seed
were endeavOring to prohibit the
farmers from selling scarlet clover seed to
each other, and W. Bunker stated that
while in his judgement the precluding
Of impure seeds and preventing their sale
in the State from out of the State was
most desirable, yet it seemed ridiculous
for the people to impose tax on each
other for the privilege of selling their
desirable seed.
