In the Municipal court, yesterday, before
Recorder Thompson, there were two LIQUOR
casesssthat occupied good deal of time.
Sheriffs Sterling and Chases swore to .the
finding of liquor on the premises of Silas F.,
Harlow, on Fore street, who has a shoe
makers shop there. He has been fined be-
fore for liquor selling, and case is now
pending against him. He is very skiIful
witness in his own behalf, and argued that
the liquor was taken for his own especial
delectation and health. Recorder Thompson
continued the.case.
Then the sherifs testified as to their
seizure of the day before at Andy Eagan's
saloon on the corner of Fore and India
streets. Mr.. f. j. Russell, who keeps a
grocery store on the opposite corner. testi-
fed that he had frequently seen Eagan 60
ing in and out of the saloon and unlocking
and locking the door. Eagan took the stand
and declared that he didn't own the saloon
and had nothing to do with it, and that The
man who did run it was named Higgins. He
was given.a sentence of fine of 500 and
sixty days in Jail. He appealed. Carroll W.
Morrill,, Esq, appeared for both Harlow and
Eagan.

Westbrook Seminary.

Mr.. Arthur G. Yeaton, ABB. of Roch-
ester, N. H., has been elected to fill the
vacancy in the scientific department of
Westbrook Seminary, occasioned by the
resignation of Mr.. l.. B. Hunt. Mr.. Yeat-
on has devoted himself more to scientific
studies with great enthusiasm from boy
hood. He has had large experience in
laboratory work, and has shown marked
ability in both the theoretical and prac-
tical parts of his department.
Miss Minnetta Carney of Kittery has
been elected to the position of teacher of
elocution and physical culture. Miss
Carney is graduate of the Emerson
School of Oratory and will carry into her
work enthusiastic conservation. She will
reside at the seminary and will devote
all her time to these departments. This
is an important advance step, and goes
to show that Westbrook Seminary is in
line with the most progressive institu-
tionS of the land.

WESTBROOK.

The Peoples party in this city is draw
ing almost entirely from the Democratic
ranks. The only hope for the Democrats
seems to be in endorsing the Third Par

The Inconsistency ofisome men is GER
tainly amusing. One of the strongest
advocates of the Peoples party princi-

OF $40, and now he is crying Down with
the ShyIocks."
AS the time for the Republican eau
Gus approaches to nominate candidate
for the Legislature, the aspiring ..candi-
dates bSgin to loom up. The nominal
ton will come to the west end this year,
and as nomination is considered equiv

be no trouble in finding a candidate at
this end. Mr.. E. j. Haskell is prominent
" named, but H.K. Griggs Il. H. Snow,

have been mentioned as probable can

The Canned Goods Trade.

The market for canned goods still re-
mains inactive with some fairly good
sales at very low prices, however, except
in blueberries. 1t is fact that should
be recorded that the Maine pack of this
article, or the Province goods controlled
by Maine merchants, has been mostly
sold at full value, while the inferior
goods at lower prices are still without
buyers. The activity in this line is
III contrast to that of corn which is
still neglected by purchasers, both for
present and future delivery. There
will be an advance In this article, if low
prices and small pack can produce
this result.
Gallon apples for fall delivery are be-
ing sold in a rather small way at So. IS,
the low price being caused by the rather
eccentric action of few men who sold
remarkably small lots at So. In view of
the small amount of the future pack, as
it appears now, price must advance, for
goods now i'll stock are worth at least
IS. Is per dozen, but buyers always for
get that the consumption of these goods
is in July, August and September.
The situation is this: Maine has the
smallest amount of canned corn, lob
sters, blue berries, squash, pumpkin,
gallon apples, ever known since it be-
came packing State. The average of
corn planted will not be over so per cent.
the lobster pack, the smallest for years,
is now entirely sold, there are no Maine
blueberries of 1913 pack left and practi-
cally no squash, pumpkin,or apple. The
lowest priceshas been reached, because
there are no. more goods to sell and il is
natural to predict higher prices for the
future. -sffEs
Where well introduced the State of
Maine canned goods take the lead. This
was well evidenced when the Burnham
& Morrill, Company made their price on
the blueberries they proposed to pack
next August at Is cents dozen advance
over the Province packers. Although
this firm packs probably more than all
others combined, yet in TWEEN Sy-four
hours they had orders for thousands OF
cases more of berries than they will be
able to fill.

GROWING Lk,Rc. CORN CROPS.
Ahe s"'s sannot De Too Fertile or Too Mel
low In Tilth,

The corn plant delights in rich soil
1t is impossible to have the ground too
mellow and rich, though where the soil
Is mucky and full Of vegetable matter
some mineral fertilizer, phosphate or
potash, is needed to give the stalks
strength In proportion to their size and
weight and prevent their prostration in
heavy winds.
How large corn crops can be grown
on good land with a good season? The
largest reported yields were, says Amer
lean Cultivation, authority for the fol-
lowing, about 1914 bushels Of shelled
corn per acre. 1t was western corn, and
would not hold out weight 60 pounds
per bushel, as does well ripened fin:
, corn. 1t is probable that some of tho
Dent varieties of corn will give the
largest yields per acre, either by bushes
or by weight, but their fodder is coarser
and not so good as is that of eastern
flint varieties. Neither will the Dent
corn do so well on moderately fertile
soil as will the yellowlor white fiints.
Unless soil and season are both very ia
vorable much of the Dent corn will not
be fully ripened. 1t is for this reason
that poor seed is SO, common at the west
and so rare in the east. The Dent corn
cob is thicker and usually never dries
out till the corn is frozen. AS the chit
or germ is imbedded in the damp cob,
Its vitality is pretty, sure to be injured.
The distance apart between rows Of
l. I
corn depends on the kind grown and on
the richness of the soil. We have grown
very large crops with hills three feet
apart each way of the yellow flint eight
rowed corn, allowing only three stalks
to a hill Dent corn grown SO thickly
as this will not produce as many ears
as it would at distance of 80 feet
each way. But the way to get the lar
gest yield is doubtless to drill the seed,
applying some nitrogen and fertilizer
with the seed and cultivating the crop
with the harrow before the grain is up
and after until it is six inches in height.
This makes the corn in drills about az
easy to care for as if it were in hills
Narrowing tbs corn will not pull out
any plants If the surface is free from
sod and stone 1t cultivates the soil
where the hill stands as it is impossible
to do with cultivator, and it kills all
the small annual weeds in the hill,
which lessen the crop where hand hoe
ing is not practiced. When the corn is
put in drills, the cutting out Of occa-
sional stalks more often improves the
grain yield than decreases it. 1t is very
rarely that seed is putin thinly enough
When the plants come up 10 to IL
inches apart, they look very thin, but
this is the distance in the row which
gives the largest yields Of grain. As
usually grown the ears on drilled corn
are not so large as those on corn grown
in the hill. This makes greater Labor
in husking, and if the crop is very thick
there will be good many stalks that
have no ear.
