Genesee News Al. Mayer has
undoubtedly grown some prize
sweet corn this year. He has three
stalks on exhibition at 'the Driscoll
Hardware Store, two of which each
have two ears and the third three
ears which measure nine inches in
length, are perfectly filled and of
fine quality-and he has, plenty
more just like them. 1t was grown
from eastern seed and of a variety
known as Salzer's Evergreen.
Mr.. Mayer expects to save seed
from this strain for next year and
hopes in that way to have it ready
for market earlier in the season.
Latah County Press:-There have
been more land deals made in this
vicinity during the past three
months than during three years. be.
fore, and at prices averaging far
higher than land here has ever
brought. The quality of the land
is no better than it ever was. The
ridges south of town bave always
been noted for their fertility. They
produce abundant crops. But it is
only recently that land values on
these ridges began to take an up
ward tendency, and indications are
that they have not vet reached the
topmost level. What has caused
this rapid rise? We believe it to
be nothing so much as the prospect
of getting good roads. Roads that
will let the farmer to his market
with the minimum of wear upon his
wagons, teams and trucks, while
? permitting him to haul the maxi
mum weight at a load. Ibis cheap
ems transportation so much per acre,
thus adding that much IN value to
each acre the farmers own. If
land has made this advance on the
mere prospects OF roads, what will
happen when the roads become a
reality.
