Experiments at growing corn
by Mr. and Mrs. Ray *E. Sny
der during the past season
yielded interesting results, al
though no corn was actually
obtained. Plantings produced
well grown stalks but no ears
appeared, owing no doubt
to the shortness of the local
growing period. Had the crop
been started a month or so ear
lier, it would probably have
yielded ears of table size in
the opinion of the experiment
ers.
They report better success at
raising pumpkins, which are
al?0’ a garden growth unusual
in Hyder, although fine ones
are grown in Saewart.

ase of the group for $250 cash

is estimated that this, amount
will liquidate about 80 per -
