There has been some discussion recently as to the biggest crops of maize that are .grown in Poverty Bay. it being genera'ly"conceded that anything in the vicinity" of 100 bushels is an excellent crop. "Authentic records supplied to the Farmers" Union by one grower show that this season he took $42 bushels from S acres of land, the average therefore bein;r 103 bushels to the acre. The land on which the maize was gro-wn is close handy to town and is land that has been cropped on many occasions.
