CORN FOOLED FARMERS.

Wager Revealed How Fast Healthy Stalk Will Grow f Overnight. Washington C. H.„ Ohio,. June 26.—A wager was made between two Fayette county farmers as to how much a stalk of corn will grow in a single day. One of them said that a certain healthy stalk of corn, about waist high, would grow one inch, while the other wagered that it would grow two inches. Accordingly a stake was driven in the ground so that its top came even with the top of the highest blade on the stalk. At the same hour the following day an examination was made, and it was discovered that the stalk of corn had grown just four inches. ■. -' ‘
