Edith Hunnewell Has County Cham
piOnShip In Sweet Corn Club

Somerset county has a club girl
who seems likely to give the sweet
corn raisers a close race for cham
pionship this year. Edith Hunnewell
is her name and she is a member Of
the Washington Club of Scion, OF
which Miss Bertha l.. Paul is local
leader
On one-eighth of an acre she raised
a crop of sweet corn that weighed
ITO pounds after being cut from the
cob. She sold it at the factory in
Skowhegan at five cents pound her
gross receipts being $3.50. They
told her at the factory that hers was
the best looking corn they handled
this season.
William Russell of Gray, the State
sweet corn champion of the boys and
girls clubs last year had yield OF
1861 pounds from his quarter-acre.
That was at the rate of 7644 pounds
per acre. Miss Hunnewell's achieve
ment is at the rate of $3.50 pounds
per acre.
1t is too early to settle 1919 cham
pionships, but the record of Edith
Hunnewell is certainly good marker
in the preliminary race.
