Magnificent Corn On Lester Acre. An acre of corn on D. B. Les ter’s place at Beaulieu is attract ing a great deal of attention be cause of the massive size of the stalks. Many exaggerated stories have been told about Mr. Lester’s prize acre of corn. One man who saw it wanted to buy the stalks for piling, hut Mr. Lester declined the proposition as he wants to make batteaux out of the stalks. The corn is so tall that a man cannot reach to the top of the stalks with a garden rake. The stalks are just about the most magnificent that have grown along the coast. But expert farmers who have seen the patch of corn express serious doubt whether it will grain. They are afraid the corn has all run to stalk and there will be nothing for the ear. Mr. Lester believes otherwise. He followed the plan of Walter Bridges, a 11-year-old corn club boy of Terrell county, and he ex pects to get about 200 bushels to the acre. Young Bridge’s acre yielded 15(5 bushels and lie had a long dry spell to retard the corn’s development. The corn was planted in rows twenty-eight inches apart, and the seed in the row six inches from each other. "Phis has produced a veritable jungle. The big, bushy stalks are so close together that it is with difficulty that they are work ed at all. One thousand pounds of ferti lizer was put on the acre, and 200 pounds of nitrate of soda was ad ded twice and later 100 pounds more of the same material was put on. The growth is really a curiosity. Some of tl stalks are beginning to tassel. they do not grain Mr. Lester will still have a fine crop of fodder.—Sa vannah News. Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
