Wins Prizes On Corn.
The disposition of great many is
to think that this valley is exclusive
ly adapted only for tn raising oil
fruit and that other staple crops |
such as corn can not be successfully |
raised. C. A. Berry living north of
Payette grew this year some corn |
which WIN taken to the state falr
in competition with corn grown all |
over the state of Idaho won second |
premium. This corn was of the
Goldn Jewl Yellow Dent variety and
not only produces corn of excellent
quality but yields very heavily run
ming eighty to one hundred and ten
bushels to the acre when properly ir-
rigated and tended and is also an
early maturing corn which SENS to
b desirable in this valley.
