Says Jasper’s Corn Leads That Of Other Counties.

$ -Valparaiso Vidette: “W. J. Henry tas just returned from a visit to his Jasper county farm, near Wheatfield, and making a comparison between samples of corn gathered from Laporte, Porter and Jasper counties, he makes a decision in favor of the Jasper county product. The latter corn was frostbitten early and dried up, but the corn shells easily and is not damp and soft as is the corn of Laport and this county. The kernels of the local corn are larger but are not so dry. He has been offered 90 cents a bushel by the elevator company for his supply of corn.”
