DECLINES TO ASSIST


ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-The answer of
the municipal council of Kharkoff to the gov
ernment communication regarding the CO ope-
ration of rural assemblies in the work of main
tanning order points out the impossibility of
complying with the government request; COM
plains of the restriction upon liberty of dis
cussion, the bad saystem of education, and ex-
presses the opinion that circumstances tend to
prevent the possibility of supporting the gov
ernment in their struggle against the revolu-
ton. Gen. Melikoff's systeml of treating peo-
pie with consideration andlgiving perfect atten-
ton to public duties, raises a question whether
reorganization on this basis of the whole Euro

Stock LAW IN LINCOLN, CASTOR AND
CArAwBA.-It now appears that the stock
law was adopted in several of the townships
of the three counties-Lincoln, CASTOR and
Catawba-which voted on it recently, and
the act under which the election was held
allows these townships to put the stock law
in operation as soon as it is desired to do so.
In Lincoln county, Lincolnton and Howard S
Creek townships adopted it. These two

THE POSSIBLE YIELD OF CoRN.-If corn
be planted in drill three and one half feet
apart, and four kernals in a hill, every
twenty eight inches of drill there are 1888
hills or 81, 332 stalks to the acre. A nine
inch ear of corn. Thoroughly dried, yielded
2,l7O grains weight, or thirty-one one hun
dredths of a pound of shelled grain, If each
stalk should average but one such ear, the
harvest would be 1913 pounds, or one hun
dred and and thirty-six bushels per acre. 1t
would require but an average of about one
half Of grain per stalk to furnish a two hun
dred bushel crop. Experimentally in the
garden we have secured over forty ounces,
or two and one-half pound from a single
kernel planted, so there is no end to the pos
sibilities of the crop. In practice, however,
we have never realized over one hundred
and twenty-three bushels per acre while an
average crop on large areas has not exceed
ed seventy or eighty bushels. The first eff
fort to improve corn now, starting with sat
i~sfactory kernels and ears, is to eliminate the
baroness of stalks, so that each and every
stalk shall perform it's duty. There is no
trouble in securing a large percentage Of
fruitful stalks, or even a small percentage of
twin or triple-eared stalks; but when we
hope to secure all such, then we find the
difficulty. Seed-corn must be bred, and
skillfully bred, toward ~fruitfulness, before
we can anticipate very striking results.
