Some Good Corn Reports.
William Holmes, who lives on the Frank M. Parker farm in Barkley township, brought a load of mighty fine corn to the Iroquois Roller Mill here today. The com was good in quality and quantity and will be made into meal by Mr. Sprague. Mr. Holmes says that his corn is a most excellent yield and that he has but little soft corn. ' Theodore Phillips, formerly trustee of Gillam township, was in Rensselaer today and reports that he has forty-five acres of com that will yield about sixty-five bushels to *he acre. ’ Not all of his com is dry enough to crib but with some good drying weather he thinks, he will be able to harvest a good crop of excellent corn.
