720 - H&G Dec. 20:2/6 - In a letter to the editor, James Houghton says:
"I am induced to send you an account of the product per acre of the
Baden Corn, of which you noticed some time since a specimen stalk at my
store. That was grown by Sheriff Handerson, and ripened to perfection.
Erwin of Euclid raised the Baden Corn on 2-1/4 rods of new cleared land
in the corner of the field, and the product was at the rate of 218 bushels
per acre of shelled Corn.
"Here is an indisputable proof of what Baden has accomplished by
steady perseverance for twenty years in the cause of Agriculture, and
his name will be handed down to posterity as a brilliant example of what
may and can be done in improving the quantity and quality of the products
of the soil for the sustenance of man and beast." (8)
