Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 234, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 October 1917 — Raises Some Splendid Corn. [ARTICLE]

Raises Some Splendid Corn.

Uncle Isaac Walker, of Barkley township, has on exhibition at the county clerk’s office samples of his 1917 com. The ears are large and well matured and as good as any com we have seen which was grown this year. Uncle Isaac is 78 years of age, but is still active and does much of his work on the farm. If all of our farmers were as industrious as Uncle Isaac would be no food shortage.
