A Prophecy of the Future.

An Illinois man now holds the
worlds championship in corn pro.
duction, He raised 1876 bushels
and 81 pounds on measured acre
of ground. This record was secur-
ed by a combination of heavy fer
tilizing, careful cultivation and wise
selection of seed.
How much it cost to produce
this acre of corn has not been stat
ed. Probably at present prices the
crop was a profitable one. If the
average yield of corn per acre were
raised to even half this figure-at
this time the price would drop till
corn would be cheaper fuel than
wood, says the Chicago Journal.
When one considers the future,
the greatest importance of such
yield is seen. 1t is a prophecy of
plenty for coming generations. 1t
is proof that the plains Of Illinois
can support in comfort three or
four times as large a population as
is now dependent on them for food
and this is equally true Of two
thirds of the cultivated area of our
vast country. Elk.
