Q 15e Bushels Of Corn Per Acre.
It has remained for Oconto county to
set the pace in the race for maximum
corn production in Wisconsin. In
the 1914 contest a boy in that county
raised 159 bushels on an acre of ground.
It it true that the work and fertilizer
used was more than would be the case
in common field practice on farms, but
this tremendous yield shows that the
upper Wisconsin counties are we'll
within the cornbelt, and that is the
most important feature of the contest.
A girl in that county made an excel
lent showing and sold part of her
crop for seed purposes for S so per
bushel. We shall have to give the
ribbon to Oconto county-at least for
awhile.
