BIG INTEREST IN
CORN CONTEST
Results From Twelve Farms Seeds
Shown at Sandy Ridge At
tracted Many People.
DIFFERENCES IN PRODUCTION

The corn demonstration held at
the farm of William E. Rittenhouse,
of Sandy Ridge, near Sergeantsville,
last Saturday afternoon attracted
a large crowd of farmers and show
ed many interesting things in con-
nection with the various seeds, which
had been obtained from surrounding
farms and grown on four local
farms, those of William E. Ritten-
house. John S Cray, Charles Math-
ews and Harry johnson.
Seeds came from thirteen farm
ers, and on the farm of William E.
Rittenhouse produced an average of
66.3 bushels; Charles Mathews
farm, 63.25 bushels; Harry John
sons farm, 55.S bushels; John S.
Cray's farm, Alb bushels. This
variation was due largely to the
land, Mr.. Cray's being better adapt
ed to other grains than corn. Mr..
Rittenhouse and Mr.. Cray have
farms about mile apart, air line,
on Sandy Ridge, while Mr.. johnson
and Mr.. Mathews are near each
other in the valley leading from the
white bridge, west of Sergeantsville,
toward Rosemont, and there is
similarity of soils On all but Mr..
Cray's farm.
The bushels per acre per farm,
counting the origin of the seed,
showed still more interesting condi-

The lowest record was 3l.6 bush

the farm of Charles Mathews, pro-
duced 72.4 bushels, and 69.4 BUSH

The highest was S1.S bushels, on the

The StMdebaker SIX
From the Standpoint of Economy

ECONOMY is TO be your consideration from
Il now on, especially in the purchase of your
motor car you should by all means invcsti-
gate the Studebaker SIX from that standpoint.
Where people know cars, at all probabilities they
buy that car in greatest numbers which gives
them the greatest value for their money
Therefore, in Detroit, where 500 of all cars are
made. where people know cars the official regis
tratlons show that there are more Studcbakcrs
IN use than any other costing over $500
Where people prove motor car value and quality
by the continuous test of twelve months in the
year service, they probably buy in greatest
numbers that car which stands up and gives
the service.
Therefore, in California, Washington, Oregon and
the Rocky Mountain States, there arc more
Studebakers in use than any other car costing
over $500.
in the far West, people prove motor car value
and quality, they test it out, twelve months in
the year, on the longest, hardest, hllicst drives
in the United States.
The careful, keen, shrewd buyers in the great
Middle Western farming states use Studebaker
cars because they have found that Studebakers
give consistent service on the rough country
