FORTY BUSHELS TO THE ACRE.

       Nath Garrett, of Blue Ridge, reports having made forty bushels or more per acre on twenty acres planted in June corn after July lst.  This is the best we have heard of, but a number have made good crops, while others made failures.--Kosse Cyclone.

       The experience of Mr. Garrett is the experience of nearly every other man who planted Mexican June corn, the only exception at all being in the number of bushels.  We have interviewed a number of farmers recently who planted June corn and they invariably say that they will make from 25 to forty bushels per acre.  The Democrat urged up on its farmer readers to plant June corn last summer and many of them did.  Many more would have done so but for the trouble of securing seed.
