Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 223, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 October 1917 — Jasper County Corn Outclasses White County Samples. [ARTICLE]

Jasper County Corn Outclasses White County Samples.

There are on exhibition in the window of Long & Son’s drug store some samples of this year’s corn. A few«days ago O. K. Rainier, who owns for S4OO per acre land in White coun ty, placed a sample of the very best corn he could find on his farm and thought that he would make every farmer in Jasper county jealous. But Uncle William Hoover, seeing the samples displayed by O. K., brought in some samples from his Marion township farm that make the Rainier samples look like popcorn. Uncle Charles Pullin picked out a few ears and placed them beside the Rainier corn and of course outclassed them. O. K. will let go of that White county farm some of these days and buy a real farm in Jasper county.
