GROWS 237 BUSHELS
OF CORN ON AN ACRE
Bennie Owens of ElmCre
County Breaks States
Record

Montgomery. January 2.--(Special.)- J.
That Bennie Owens of Ware, Elmore
county, deserves credit for having pro-
duced the greatest quantity of corn ever
grown on single acre in Alabama, is
the opinion of officials of the depart
ment of agriculture and industries
owens, who is a young farmer of Ell
more county, raised 237 bushels and
three pecks on an acre of land, exceed
ing the record made last year by E. A.
kimbrough of Tallapoosa county, by
exactly IL bushels.
The report that Owens had raised this
quantity of corn on single acre was
verified on Wednesday by G. III. Billing
sley, pure food clerk of the department
of agriculture, and Judge M. ID. Still of
Wetumpka. According to Mr.. Billings
ley, the corn Is of an excellent grade.
The agricultural board will meet in
Montgomery within the near future for
the purpose of awarding the prizes in
the corn contest All the reports have
been sent in by the various counties
and all data pertaining to the reports
is being assembled for the inspection
of the board
1t is believed that Mr. owens deserves
the distinction of having grown as large
a quantity of corn on single acre as
has ever been produced on that much
land in the entire south. He Will prob
ably be awarded the prize when the
agricultural board meets to determine
the winners in the contest.

book 10 be Is yards. The referee refused
to make the penalty more than five yards
and then a wrangle began. With half OF
the contestants shouting Spanish, while
the visitors tried to arrange affairs in
English, a more heated debate arose, and
then. after neither side could make a set
tlement in its native language, the Uni
versity of Florida team left the field.
There is law I'm Cuba that says no
team can leave the field until the game is
finished, and so the manager of the team
was arrested. When the Alligators. as
they were called in the Havana news
papers. learned this fact they were willing
to continue the game. The Cuban referee
announced that the game had been for
feited to the Cubans for the failure of the
American athletics to remain on the field
The Florida team had placed a large
amount of money on the outcome of the
contest, and in some instances had it re-
funded when the referee forfeited the
game. However, in some cases the Cubans
refused TO return the money. Both sides
wagered heavily.
