Blount's prolific corn in so far as
/ know, is not grown to any appre
ciable extent in Georgia. In fact
know of no one who is raising 1t
for seed purposes. This variety pro
duces fair sized ear and, as rule,
two ears are produced per stalk. 1t
takes its name from Professor
Blount, who made some effort to
improve it through the utilization of
the principles of plant breeding.
1t is an early maturing corn, max
ing a good growth of stalk and leaf
1t is fairly satisfactory therefore
for silage purposes, and I think 1t
may be regarded as what we call a
prolific" type. 1t is a relatively hard
and flinty type and makes a good
meal. 1t probably will not do any
better in Georgia than some of the
other prolific types which have been
shown by tests to be we'll suited to
our soil and climatic conditions.

GLASGOW Scotland Aug. H. -
Seven hundred and fifty thousand
gallons of Scotch whiskey recently
changed hands in Glasgow in one
deal. This is one of the biggest
sales of whiskey on record since the
close of the war.
While the buyers refused to dis
close the purchase price of the IL

considerably higher than the public

whiskey. This is reported to be one
of many big sales effected by con
Germs which are consolidating whis-
