he has found out by actual ex-
perience how much easier it is
to grow maize and kaffir corn
with the assurance of it making.

specimen heads of Kaffir from
Mr. Banks’ field Sunday which
in the judgment of The Empire
is about as fine as ever grew.ahd
it is so nearly equal to the old
time com in sustenance it oc-
curs to us the farmers in this
country would do the wise thing
to plant Kaffir and maize hereaf-
ter in Heu of corn. This is
only one of several instances
this year in which we have heard
of splendid success attending the
efforts of Erath farmers with
crops of Kaffir. Dock Wright of
Smith Springs found out the
sureness of the maize crop and
the value of it years ago and it
is our understanding he raises it
successfully every year.
