It Is wonderful the differentia between a bushel of corn In different localities II tnay not always hes bushel, however, that is a snit of measure. In England all the oorn is shelled and is measured by the quarter of eight bushels, or a quarter of a too. In the southern state. Dorn Is measured by the barrel. In some parte of the United States • bushel of corn is a bushel of eau, then igeio it is • bathed and • half of ears. In others it is one bushel of shelled oorn; then it g oes readily for 68 pounds when shelled. and all the way from 70 to 80 whet] in the ear. It will be plainly seen that the people who handle corn in various way' have no definite unit of measurement in thorn. This is largely doe to the fact that corn may be either shelled or in the ear, and thin bag to be taken lite consideration. In California all prod nota are sold by the hundred pounds. 1n corn the difference would be made in the price, not as mach being paid for LQO pounds of ear oorn a is paid for )00 pounds of shelled oorn.
