almost to the top. A dense
growth of great limbs and bools
surround the main stem. Here
are some Of the largest cotton
stalks we ever saw The fifty
acres Of corn are simply charming.
1t looks as if there was eonugh
to run the farmthree years easily.
Three thousand bushels would be
a conservative estimate. The
corn is mostly in four and half
foot rows and about fifteen inches
apart III the rows and two good
ears on the stalk. There is some
