Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 170, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 July 1918 — STOCK OF CORN SIXTEEN FEET HIGH [ARTICLE]

STOCK OF CORN SIXTEEN FEET HIGH

John Robinson brought a hill of corn in this morning from the Hogan farm just east of this city. The hill consisted of three stocks, one of which was sixteen feet hight- The other two were nearly as high. The ears on all three stocks were quite large and well up out of the reach of an average man. Mr. William Murray, who is fanning this place, has a field which will average pretty well up with this hill. Jasper county is promised a yield of corn this year that will be a bumper. The government may have to increase the bond issue so as to take care of the farmers’ excess cash.
