The outlook for corn Is not encouraging
IN this county III spite of the late favorable
weather. The scare OF the spring about
the value of old corn as seed caused great
deal of Kansas corn to be imported and
planted. The stalk grew amazingly, and
all over the county may be seen corn 10 feet
high, looking the picture of future great
crop. But the trouble is Kansas corn IS
too slow for this county. In its native
cline it is planted from month to six
weeks earlier than 1t was in this county,
and has time to mature. So in this county
half the Kansas corn growing has not be.
gun to ear yet-and many a fine looking
field may be seen without an ear to the 40
acres. Certainly no ripe corn may be
expected on such stalks. Wherever old
La Sale county corn has been planted a
good crop may be expected on land at all
suitable. The losses will be very great
throughout the county; but lesson will
be learned by this years experience. There
was plenty of good corn in the county, but
it cost more than Kansas corn, which was
largely used in preference on that account.
One importer it is said guaranteed the corn
he sold to mature, and we understand some
of the farmers who planted on the strength
of this guarantee, in whose fields OF gigantic
stalks hardly an ear can be seen, propose
to have the courts compel HIM to make good
his guarantee, in which case, should they
be successful, he is In for fine bill of
damages. All Kansas corn Is net alike. One
farmer east of town who sent seed some
years since to a friend IN Kansas, this
spnng planted some of the corn raised
from that seed. 1t has matured as it did
before transplauting In Kansas and 1t has
undergone very little change 70 all sp.

The Tobacco crOO,

The Western Tobacco Journal, OF
Cincinnati, has the following to say
of the tobacco crop:
There is no prospect OF any ma.
terial improvement in the yield OF
the 1888 crop of tobacco. II excep.
tiOnally good seasons prevail until
the curing season is over, the char.
acter and condition of some tobacco
will be improved, but there is little
reason for expecting such conditions.
Rains have fallen in considerable
portions of the tobacco growing belt
within the past week, but there
may be more harm than good re-
sulting from this. If early frosts
ensue, il will nip all the late planted,
as the late rains will have sOftened
and "greened" it, and put it i'm a
condition to make il especially sus-
ceptible to the "b;te" of frosts. The
frOsts of few weeks ago have
alarmed growers to such an extent
that much of the late tobacco will
be housed before it is thoroughly
ripe, which will initiate against its
quality. The losses from this alone
will probably be very large, and
may lead to the making of large
quantities of the common grades
from this crop. Considerable dam
age has already been done by dry
weather, rain, wind and hail storms
and frOsts, to the character of to-
baccO, and from all sources COM
bined probably an exceptionally
large proportion of the crop of
most States will be of the less Valu-
able grades.

Sketches Of the Songs that Urged Patriots
TO Battle.
Cincinnati Commercial.
A discussion of the Once-famOus
rebel war song OF Maryland, My
Maryland, has revived interest in
the songs that thrilled the hearts of
both northern and southern sol
dIers as they went forth tOseige and
battle. The song referred to was
written by James II. Randall, now,
we believe, one of the editors of the
Augusta Chronicle, and bears date
of POinte COupee, April 26, 1891.
There are no such lines in it as
these:
"The tyrant's heel is on thy neck,
Maryland, My Maryland"
The verse is as follows:
The despOt's heel is ON thy shore,
Maryland
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland
Avenge thy patriotic gore.
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yOre,
Maryland! My Maryland"
Maryland was at that time tFem-
bling in the balance between loyal
" to the union and secession, and
this song was intended TO fire the
hearts OF the people and win them
over to the side of Virginia, which
had lust cast her fortunes with the
new coniederacy. 1t Immediately
became popular, and was sung in
every camp from the Potomac to
the Mississippi; but Maryland re-
manned steadfast to the union, des-
pite this powerful appeal.
The lyric quality of the Southern
sOng-writerS during the war was
conspicuous. Their songs were ami
mated by the intense local patriot
ism, and breathed the tiercest spirit
of war.
Albert Pike, who was once
thought to be the coming great
American poet, wrote song quite
as popular as my Maryland" and
adapted TO the tune of "DiXie."
The opening verse is stirring:
''Southrons, hear your country call you!
Up! lest worse than death befill you
To arms To arms To arms in Dixie :
10 all the beacon-fires are lighted,
Let all hearts be now united
To arms To arms To arms in Dixie !!
Advance the nag of Dixie!
HuTrah! Hurrahl
For DiNic's land we take our stand,
Aud live and die for Dixie.
To arms To arms
And conquer peace for DiXiel
To arms To ar1aSi
And conquer peace for DiNie~
The battle OF Manassas, or Bull.
Run, as it was known at the north,
called out many stirring poems, cal
culated to renew the courage of the
southern people, and fire them with
renewed eXertiOn for Independence.
-a Among the most graphic of these,
and with u certain grim bumor in
it, was one entitled "Flight of Doc
dies. A few sample verses must
suffice:
''I come from old Manassas with pocket
! killed forty Yankees with single-barreled
1t don { make min stiference to neither
Big Yankee, Iit;ie Yankee, all run or die.
IT saw old Fuss-and- Feathers Scott, twenty
His horses stuck mp their ears, and you
ought to hear 'em neigh;
But it don't make a niif-a-Stiferenee TO
Old scott he'd like the devil, boys; root hog,
or die"
And so on for quantity.
"The Bonnie Blue Flag" was one
of the most singabIe lyrics OF the
war, and was immensely popular,
even i'm the north, by reason OF its
beautiful air. liz tells how, when
"Our rights were threatensu, the
cry arose for the Bonnie Blne Flag
''that bears a single star and re-
cites the secession of state after
state, and concludes as follows:
