MARVELS OF CORN CULTURE.
Enormous Yields on Some Illinois
Farms.

Thousands of prac tical instances
could be given to show the value of
improved varieties OF corn. For in
stance, one southern Illinois farmer,
more progressive than the rest, was
induced to secure enough improved
seed to plant three hundred acres as
result of his study of corn in the Lii
nois College of Agriculture. These
three hundred acres OutYielded all of
the other fields on his farm more than
thirty bushels per acre; and, so far as
could be determined. the fields of that
entire section yielded about thirty
bushels per acre. This increase in
Weld meant total gain of about nine
thousand bushels, which represented
cash value of about four thousand
dollars for that season. AS this in
crease did not represent an increased
cost of production the gain was pure
profit. In another case, a farmer in
central Illinois became interested in
improved seed-corn, through the
school of corn Judging in the Illinois
Agricultural College. He secured
enough seed grown by corn breeder,
| To plant eighty acres. AS result, he
raised almost twenty-five bushels more
per acre on this field than where the
ordinary seed was planted. The next
wear over one Thousand acres were
planted with improved seed; and last
wear over seven thousand acres of i'm
proved corn, from the more carefully
selected seed, was grown on this farm
In addition, there were thirty breed
ing fields laid out fer the purpose OF
systematic and scientific improvement
OF the varlGies grown at this place
In northern Illinois the manager of a
large farm became interested in the
benefits of improved seed-corn, with
the result that last year nearly three
thousand acres Of improved corn were
groNn. and several breeding fields
were established. by A. d. Samel, Of

ALEPER IN GEORGIA.
A Soldier Returned From the Philippines
Has the Disease.

A Savannah dispatch says vast in
terest in the case of the leper soldier
from the Philippines, who is isolated
on the government reservation on
Tybee island adjoining Fort Screven,
Is miles from Savannah, is manifested
by the medical fraternity. Many doc
tors are disposed to watch the case
and make examinations if the oppor-
tunity is afforded them. but the laity
do not receive the fact of the presence
of the afflicted soldier with quite the
same sort of interest. They would far
prefer that he were elsewhere-in the
Philippines, for instance.
DR.. Gilchrist, celebrated physician
and bacteriolog ist of New York, is ex-
pected here to make an examination of
the man. he will study the history of
the case and will seek to isolate the
germ and make a study of it.
Tybee is the PRINCIPAL seaside resort
of Georgia. and hotel proprietors and
railway officials are expressing fear
for the effect chat might DE caused up
on the public mind by the news that
there is leper on the island.
The soldier, au artilleryman, has
had the disease for three months. Ii
was first considered malarial fever.
Later it was diagnosed as tubercular
leprosv. The outbreak of the disease
occurred some weeks after the man g
return from the Philippines.
Authorities at the fort maintain the
greatest secrecy relative to the case.
1t is learned. however, that the patient
Is Sergeant Nix Of the coast artillery.

COWBOY and WIFE
TO RIDE 1920 NILES
WILL TRAVEL FROM COLBY, KAN, TO
TENOERLOIN IN NEW YORK.
BrOnchos TO Be Their Mounts, and 1t Is
Figured They viii Reach Their
Destination Next January.

To show that the American cowboy
Is the greatest rider and the most en-
during specimen of humanity in the
world Bill Mcbride, ranchman on the
Oak range, thirty-tive miles west or
Colby, Kan, proposes riding from that
place on a broncho clear through to the
Tenderloin of New York city, and to
prove concldsively that the female
product of the western plains Is equal

company him on another broncho, says

through to New York city, each mount
ed on broncho. We will not stop ION
ger than twelve hours at any one place
unless we or the horses are taken sick.
This is not race for time, but for en-
durance, to show the public where the
American cowboy ranks with the rid
ers of other countries. My wife rides
big saddle like ride myself. She Is
five and a half feet tall and weighs
AS pounds. and am nearly six feet,
weighing 16O pounds. We will ride
Just as we leave the plains"
Out on Oak range there are many
skillful riders, but Bill is credited with
being by long odds the best horseman
for hundreds of miles around. He has
met and vanquished the pride of many
another ranch in tests of horseman-
ship, and when he jumps on the wild
est mustang with a wild shout it's
"cinch" that the beast will 'break" to
his will.
Twenty-Five hundred miles across the
continent is the trip proposed, but Bill
was not at all dismayed when this
fact was made clear to him. 1t is
fifty-mile ride out and back to the
ranch when he goes for mail, and 300
or 400 miles on a round up is a COM
monplace incident in his life.
A westerner, basing his figures on
the cowboy race which ended at the
worlds fair in Chicago in 1893, says it
will take Bill and his wife about five
and a half months to ride to the me-
tropolis. Starting on July %, he cal

Grand JURY RETURNS
A SALTY DOCUMENT
,ooxr COUNTY PREsENTMENTs GRE
ATE A SENSATION.
...,o and Solicitor Felt Called Upon to
u.Ls Statements in Open Court Con-
corning Their Acts.

who nreseutments of the Burke coun-
-, Grand Jury, which was recently In
.eion, was rather salty document.
~ severe was it, in fact, that the
.aro and the solicitor felt called upon
oke statements in open court con-
oprping their acts.
THE following extracts from the pre-
.ontments will give some idea OF their
satiness:
nWe condemn the practice of carry
am concealed weapons. We are salts
sad that this practice could be in a
large measure stopped If the officers OF
.ba court were as diligent in the pros
ooution of white vio'ators of this law
oo thew are OF the colored. Judging by
tho cases brought before US for inves-
+ioation negroes are the only vlolat0rs
of this law.
nTbe unusual length of the session
of this jury was due in large measure
n extended investigation made by US
IN regard to violations of the law
AGAINST the sale of whiskeY in the
county.
alt was the desire and purpose of
the Jury to make this investigation
,borouch and impartial. In all inves-
.ioations of this character it has been
charged, and not without justification,
that all crusades of this kind have
beeu directed against negroes and
poor white people.
"We endeavored TO commence at the
tod, but when we began to invade the
seat of the mighty every possible i'm
pediment was thrown IN our way and
every possible influence brought to
bear to stop it. Perjury has been
committed in the effort to shield the
yiolators of the law against the sale of
Whiskey.
when we ask for an indictment
against witnesses for perjury we are
told that there are numerous legal
technicalities in the way which would
make it useless to indict, as there
would be no convictions on trial, and
the county ought not to be subjected to
the expense.
Legal technicallties, in the opinion
OF this jury, were invented for the
special protection of the wealthy ano
influential when guilty of the viola
ions of the law"

MR.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now in the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
OF long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incomPar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion OF
Canada We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
oConnor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
OF disease and become well, strong, and happy.
hproves, too, that the great medicine main
'ans more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth

TO DEVELOP SOUTHERN LAND
A Western Syndicate Buys ESQ.,.
600 Acres.

In Cleveland, o., a company has
been formed for the purpose of settling
and developing Southern lands. Its
first settlement will be planted in the
counties of Ouslow and jones, North
Carolina, where it has purchased 250,-
900 acres of land. 1t is proposed to
establish model farms and a model
farm village on the land. 1t is risking
nothing to predict that the experiment
will prove a success. The western
farmer who comes south and brings
his western methods of agriculture
with him is practically certain to sue
seed. We hope the OhiOans will turn
their eyes to Georgia when they are
looking for more good lands to be de-
veloped. They are here in abundance.
