He has succeeded In developing
corn that is almost as early as sweet

Is almost in the roasting ear stage.
As is his usual custom he has tagged
the most vigorous early stalks and
from these next year's seed will be
selected.
Last year this variety produced
roasting ears in so days and was
planted on May s. The yield on the
better corn land was GO bushels TO the
acre while the upland made 80. Mr.
