Miilcr's Place.

G. L. Miller of Winchester, Jefferson
county, Kansas, brought to Topeka to-
day an annual growth of corn ears
that he claims to be the leading freak
of the states corn crop this year. Five
ears. perfect in form, grew in one
husk on a corn stalk on Miller's place.
"I have lived on a farm 20 years
and this is the most freakish speci-
men 1 have ever SEEM said Mr.. Miller.
MANY times we find two ears in one
huslx-but five ears is the record--at
least in our locality
Miller's only explanation is this
the corn in Kansas this year is grow
ing so fast that it isn't satisfied with
filing the shIcks with only one ear.
