the farm of 4 a. Sappington near
Grady 1t is of the yellow variety and
the ears pUt on exhibition here were
fully matured and had no evidence
of having been stuntcd He brought
two other samples of white corn that
came from a patch that Will make
about forty bushels to the acre. These
cars were large and well filled, bat
the grains were not rounded by ma
turity. One of them was II inches
long and contained 1864 grains.
These samples were placed on exhibit
at the county fair at Ryan this week.
Il have eighty acres in corn" said
Mr.. Sappington, 'and the average
yield will not be far short of forty
bushels. Not an ear will be sold. 1t
goes into hog meat this fall. There
is more money in raising corn to feed
than for market. During my twenty
years in this part of the state l have
never had but one failure in corn and
every year ! have sold fat hogs OF.
the Texas and Oklahoma markets. l
lived near Dixie for II years and never
failed single year to have fat hogs"
