Ahart and George Igou, two persons

precautionary measure The school

LATER CORN is THE BETTER
Late Rains have benefited the
Last Crop Which Was
Planted.

Manila, Iowa, November 24-Nearly
all Of the farmers with the exception
of one or two here and there have
finished cribbing their corn. The
yield of the corn crop here was far
beyond the expectation of all the farm
ers. The late corn is yielding much
better than the earlier corn for the
reason that the first rain after the
drouth came too late to be of much
benefit to the early corn. The corn
runs all the way from twenty-five to
sixty-five and seventy bushels to the
acre.
Will E. Bliven had thirty-fiye acres
that averaged over sixty-five bushels
to the acre while other farmers re-
port yields much the same. The quail
tiy of the corn is excellent and all
farmers say the corn is the driest this
year that it has ever been at this time
of the season.
