Enormous 8 Corn Crop.

While corn crops in Powell
county on river farms are not so
good as they were last year, the
crop as a whole in the county is
far above last wears yield. occa-
stoned by an average yield on
the bottom land and far above
the average yield on the upland.
More than one thousand barrels
of corn has been raised on many
farms of the county. This is
some corn for powell county
farms, and it sounds good to u I.
No persons or stock need suffer
for feed if an equitable division
can be made. The average yield
of corn per acre for this state is
30 bushels, and that of Iowa is
forty-five bushels. Iowa leads
all other states. Powell county
will surpass the average yield Of
Kentucky by several bushels,
and will not fall far short ofIowa.
1t is nothing uncommon to see a
field in this county upon which
60 and Is bushels per acre have
been grown and these are big
yields too. One farm boy under
adverse circumstances has grown
e'ghty-nine bushels of corn upon
one acre. This was upon natu
rally thin upland. Powell is far
from being the worst county in
the state, though many of her
people may think so and migrate
to states that do not grow corn
like we do. Our land when prop
erly farmed will also grow oats,
wheat, rye and grass. The great
est trouble with the county is
that We are slow to learn what
we can best do with our land,
and fail to practice the slogan.
"Keep your farm now and in a
few years it will keep you"
Successful farming is in growing
biz crops and at the same time
making your land better all the
while. This is being done by
some few farmers in Powell
county today and should be done
by all of them.
