PLANT CORN WIDE.

G. q. Turner, of Burgess, Mics, has
a neighbor who always plants corn in
rows seven feet apart and makes forty
to sixty bushels per acre, while ad-
joining fields of his neighbors planted
in four-foot rows yield from SIX to
thirty bushels. Mr.. Turner asked the
man OF the wide rows the reason for
his practice and success. The answer
was that experiments show that at
tasseling time stalk of corn takes
from the soil through its roots and
throws off into the air through Its
leaves quart of water per day, if it
can get it; and if it can't get it, it
does not thrive. Hence, thinly seed
ed corn will thrive through dry
spell that will ruin thickly seeded
crops.
Mr.. Turner was go impressed that
he determined to experiment with cot
ton. One piece was planted 2x4, an
other Aka, and another 5x4 feet, one
stalk to the hill in all cases. That
planted AKA yielded twice as much per
acre as tho piece planted 2x4, and the
one planted 5x4 (four acres) did still

Cracknell alias Longfeiiow, recently
remarked TO friend that there were only
three men on this coast who understood
how to handle game hsh. he mem
toned himself as being one OF the num-
Der, but judging from an exhibltlon ne
gave recently on the Russian River OF
playing a ten-pound steelhead, he can
very well afford to take few lessons from
Butler or BransdoIff, neither OF whom
would be guilty of such an unpardonable
breach of the art of handling fish as TO
hold the rod with the reel underneath,
thereby placing the whole strain on the
loops, when it should be on the rod.
Cracknell relies on the strength OF his
tackle in playing fish; yet he has been
known to smash double leader when
trying 10 stop the first run of steelhead.
Poor old Crack, he has yet much to
learn OF the art of angling. even though 1T

naught.

beaten by score of 10 to 21. The game

"Corbett, by the way, is one of the most
enthusiastic handbail players that ever
struck the city. He likes the game, and
has played it ali over the world meeting
some OF the best players in Ireland during
his last trip across the big pond. OF all
the cracks lie has met Jim thinks Lawler
OF Chicago is the best. He has beaten AL
derman Dunno of Brooklyn, Cham pion
Ca:ey's partner. and also played numer.
Gus games with the champion. Casey is
recognized as the American champ on,
he ever played with in this country"
Cor5ett will remain in this City few
days before taking his departure for the
Sagebrush State. He will be received in
royal style by the Oily pic Cub, of which
he is prominent member.
Although many offers have been M ade
by sports who fancy placing little money
on the result OF the proposed big mill,
there has been no wager worthy OF men
tion laid on either man yet, but it is
thought that after Corbett's arrival the
sports will open their fists and drop some
of their "hard-earned coin" into the pool
box. The Fiizsimnons men are looking
for long odds, something like 2 to /, but
it is safe 10 say that the ODDS will not vary
very much from the, present quotation,
which is 10 to II, with Corbett on the
long end.
Among several people who were asked
to express an opinion as to the result of
the fight, with few exceptions Corbett was
the choice of those who will wager on the
outcome.

form as we'll as he expected in his Fl hit

If Corbett is in good condition when
be enters the ring" said Carroll, "I look
to see him whip Fitz, because he is just as
clever as Bob. and in every other respect
he has tHe advantage
But Carrol's friends that Jimmy will
have few dollars on Fitz. nevertheless.

local cracks on matters pugilistic, does
not hesitate to say that Fitzsimmons will
whip Corbett in short order.
