HAS 20 ACRES OF
 FINE TALL CORN Growth of 12 to 15 Feet On East Great Plain Farm.


 While the reports from the farms of these parts show that it is a bump CT corn year, and that this particular crop is going to have an exceptional yield, even if a. trif1e late, there are few fields that will exceed, in either size or quality, those of Edward E. Abel. On his farm at East Great Plain, he has 20 acres of it in flourish ing condition. and for the most part it measures in height between a dozen and fifteen feet. Within a short time MT. Abel will begin to cut the corn for ensilage purposes as fodder later for his herd of 25 cows, but before the harvest days begin, he will con- struct another commodious silo in ad- dition to the large one his fine farm below the fairground already boasts. The foundation of this second struct- ure is already laid, ready for the su perstructure and at the same time this progressive farmer contemplates all terations and additions to his stables, which will leave them according to the most approved standards of mod ern dairy farms.
