COLLATERAL INHERITANCE TAX,
4 Case Relative 10 the Matter Argued Before
the Law Court Thursday.

The only question argued before the Su-
preme Judicial Court, Thursday, was in
relation to the construction of the act
on collateral inheritances. The case
came before the court from Penobscot
county. Estate of Maine, Apt. from
decree Of judge of probate, vs.. George H.
Hamlin, executor, and others" Charles A.
Bailey, county attorney of Penobscot
county, argued the case on the part
of the State and Charles ]. Dunn
for executor. F. A. Wilson sent
in written argument. The question was
this: Under the act of 1898, chapter Jag,
the sum of $500 is exempt from taxa
ton. Should that sum be taken from the
whole amount of the inventory in an estate
and tax of l-2 per cent. be put upon
the balance, or should the sum of $500 be
taken out of each bequest or each sum in
herited and the tax put upon the balance.
The second question raised was in relation
to the constitutionality of the act itself. In
New Hampshire under similar act the
law has been held to be unconstitutional.
In Kennebec county the probate court
holds that the tax should be taken out of
each bequest or each inheritance and the
tax placed on the balance. While in
Androsccggin county the court held
that the $500 should be taken out but once
and that out of the whole amount of the
inventory. No party saw fit to take an ap-
peal from this probate court in Kennebec
county. The court will probably reach an
early decision on the matter, as the whole
State is interested. The counsel engaged
in the case were not able to furnish the
court with much information from without,
but relied for information from within, that
is they were unable to find much authority
on the subject.

BICYCLE TRACK.
Augusta Driving Park Will Have One Inside
The Race Course.

The enterprise and push of the managers
of the Augusta driving park have brought
this track into prominence and now
they are on new road of i'm
provement. 1t is proposed to have a
bicycle track as good as can be found any
where in the State. The managers have
decided to build, Immediately, track for
bicycle riding inside the regular race
track and this new track will be exclusive
ly for bicyclists.
This track will be Is feet in width with
the exception of the home stretch and turns
which will be IS feet. The work of building
the new track will be superintendent
by Owen Wellman, who will have charge
of the track when it is completed. The
judges stand will be set back to allow for
the width of gates, one to be on each side and
the bicycle track will be fenced in. The
piazza of the grand stand will be raised
several feet.
A new building will soon be built at the
park to be used for restaurant and will be
under the management of Charles Stafford,
who will be the caterer for the park this
season. A road may be built in the rear of
the grand stand in order that the stable
yard may be reached without using the track.
By building the bicycle track the enthu-
siasm in bicycle riding will be increased and
the popularity of the park will be enhanced.
The Augusta Bicycle Club will probably
revive and if so, the membership will be
enlarged as many new wheelmen are out
this season.

THURSDAY, May "a.
The superior court was in session this
morning for the purpose of disposing of the
motion for new trial in the Getchell case.
Mrs. Getchell was brought in and placed at
the bar. Both Of her counsel and the
county attorney were present. Mr.. Heath
stated that he did not desire to be heard
upon his motion. Judge Wiswell then, pro
.)orma, denied the motion for a new trial,
and the counsel thereupon entered an ap-
peal from this decision to the next law
court for this district, which sits on the
fourth Tuesday Of May, 1895. The pris-
oner was then remanded to Jail to await the
final determination of her appeal.
In the afternoon the superior court ad-
journed finally.

and Mr.. Higgins. The gathering was de-
cided success.
The Corn crsp.

Bulletin No. 81 of the Illinois static n
contains the result of series of trials in
methods of handling the corn crop. For
five years a series has been run on depth of
planting, passing from one inch to seven
inches in depth by increasing an inch at a
time. Prof. Morrow says that as in former
years, the shallow planting gave the best
results. From the table giving results for
five years, it will be seen that the average
number Of ears per acre uniformly de-
creases from the shallowest to the deepest
planting, and that, in general, the bushels
per acre also decreased.
Corn planted one inch deep yielded 77.5
bushels, and that planted four inches deep
gave 6S.7 bushels that planted seven inches
deep gave 405 bushels. This is in accord
with general results of other Investigators
and with the general rule that seed should
be planted twice the depth of its longest
diameter. As regards the thickness with
which corn should be planted the conclusion
was reached that kernel or plant every
foot in the row gave the best result as
an average. The trial reported in bulletin
No. 81 of the above station alluded to is a
very complete one, being conducted for the
period of five years. Director Morrow sum-
marizee as follows:
"In general, the ratio of stalks harvested
to kernels planted, and the ratio of ears to
stalks increases as the thickness of planting
decreases. The noticeably larger yield by
the row, having one kernel every three
inchee, was due to the fact that no corn was
planted next to it till June II. This gave
it q more favorable exposure. Excepting
with this row, the number of kernels hill,
from one to four, seemed to have little in
fuence on the yield, the difference being
due to the number of plants on a given
area.
The yield of stover is greatest for the thick
est rate of planting, but the bushels of corn
are greater for thinner rates. Taking the
average for five years there seems to be but
little difference between planting anywhere
from II $50 to 23,76O kernels per acre. If
grown chiefly for the grain, the fewer the
ears required to make the maximum yield,
the less the work in harvesting; but if much
value is attached to the slower, the larger
amount obtained by planting thicker might
more than pay for the extra labor required
to harvest the grain. If slower and corn
are to be fed together, then it is pretty Ger
tainly better to plant thickly."

gusta Lodge, A. o. U. w. This lodge has
