Three men standing in the cornfields at P. Langlais's farm. <p>In "Northern Wisconsin: A Hand-Book for the Homeseeker" (1896), this photograph is captioned, "Twenty acres  of Fodder corn in the field of P. Langlais, two and one half miles southwest of Rhinelander, Oneida count. When this view was takem, July 31, 1895, the tallest stalks in the field measured six feet nine inches in height. The growth of the corn was dense and very satisfactory. We commend this view to the careful consideration of the great army of doubters in southern Wisconsin who do not believe that a corn crop can be grown north of about the middle of the state."
