Preacher-Farmer Raised Lots Of Corn—Can Any Beat It.

Rev. C. W. Postill, who has been both preacher and farmer for a number of years, preaching direct and farming by proxy, has this year raised a mighty fine crop of corn. He gives his farm tenant, James W. Price, full measure of credit. On 61 acres he raised an' average of 57 1-3 bushels, while 40 acres of white com averaged 61 bushels per acre with 3 bushels extra for good measure. He sold tire com at 58 cents per bushel If there are any others in Jasper county who have a better average for as large an acreage The Republican will be pleased to learn of it.
