SEED FOR SALE. Bigg's Seven-aarProlific Corn is1 one of the wonders in the agri - culturalVorld to-day. Last year the undersigned planted 20 acres in this variety and secured a wonderful; result. . In looking 'over the field not a single stalk was found fbat bore less than three ears, and many were found that had four, five, six, eight and ten. The 20 acre's produced just 2,140 bushels of good), hard corn, mak ing an average of 107 bushels to the acre. This is claimed to be the largest yield ever heard of in this section of the State. The seed for this planting was bought of JL. A. Carr, Durham, N. C, who produced an average of 183 bushels per acre. .. -'' , - When the FarmersVInstitute was held in Salisbury last August and a car load of machinery was used in demonstration work on . land adjoining the above, Mr. Meacham, superintendent of the State's test farm in Iredell couhty, stated to those present : Sam Carter, Joe Hall, Rev, J. M. L. Lyerly and others, that he had noT seen any better corn in the States ' J . vl' .. Col. J. S. Cunningham, of Cunningham, N. C, a member of the State Board of Agriculture, and one of the best farmers in the State, came to Salisbury last September, and, after, seeing, this field, stated that he had never seen better corn, and that it was well worth one cent per grain. He sold several ears of it, at the railroad, station in Salisbury, at $1 .00 per ear. . - - The above is given to show the extra high quality, and value of this variety of corn and this lot in particular. It is the very best, most prolific and most profitable corn that can be raised anywhere. A qoantity of this corn has been set aside for seed and is offered to progressive farmers for only 75c a peck, $1.50 per half bushel and $2.50 per bushel, F. O. B.
