MEXICAN CORN.
A special disparh to the State Capi-
tal from Shawnee of the 25th., says:—
More than a hundred bushels of seed
corn of the Mexican variety has been
sold here this summer, and fanners
of this county are still coming in to
get samples of it foi planting here.
1 he seed is imported from Mexico
and is the genuine variety. It is a
corn which, from experiments thus
lar made will be a boon and of all
parts of the country where the weath-
er is dry. In fact it grows best and
is most likely to mature under the
most droughty conditions, being the
only variety of corn that will thrive
upon less moisture than kafrit corn,
But such is the rase, nnd while it is 0
dry weather variety is in every respect
like the ordinary maize in that the
grain grows on ears, instead of on
the head qf the stalk as in the case of
kaffir corn. One farmer in this coum-
ly raised a small crop last year which
brought a yeild of forty-eight bushels
to the acre, all finely developed, and
in spite of the apparent obstacle of
having not a drop of rain during the
time after it was planted. Another
farmer near Lexington got .a yield of
forty bushels an acre without any rain
during its growing season. It can be
planted as late as July 20 and it will
mature in time to be taken off the
ground, and wheat planted in the fall.
Oklahoma farmers are enthusiastic
over the find which they have made
in tliis dry weather crop and it is ex-
pected liuicef rth to be one of the
staple grain products of tins territory.
