Some Tall Corn From Hanging Grove Tp.

Jacob M. Ray, who lives on the Royal Bussell farm a mile south and east of McCoysburg, brought to The Republican office two stalks of corn which measure fifteen feet in height. These each have a very large ear of corn. These ears were located some eight feet five inches from the bottom of the stalks. Mr. Ray offers them as the highest stalks and best ears of corn produced in this county. They are now on exhibition at the First National Bank. Mr. Ray’s son, Cletus, assisted him in the producing of this banner corn. The varitey is known as John County White.
