THE KIND THEY GROW IN BARK. LEY TP.

Sam Scott, who lives on the old Ad Parkison farm in Barkley tp., left a couple of stalks of corn at The Democrat office Saturday, each twelve foot tall, a trifle smaller in diameter than telephone poles, and bearing two good sized ears to the stalk. Sam has 140 acres of corn this year which he thinks will go 50 bushels to the acre, and you needn’t he surprised if you see him wearing diamonds and a plug hat next winter.
