CITIZENS OF
PROMINENCE
In IryingtOn Regret the Arrest
and Departure of Prof.
and Mrs. Mcclure.
UNWILLING TO CREDIT CHARGES

To the Editor of the Breckenridge
News:
In the last issue of your paper there
appeared an article rejecting on the
characters of Prof. Mcclure and
wife, which seems to us to be very I'M
just. They have had in their charge
for some time Japanese girl who had
become unruly and deserved severe pm
ishment which was melted out to her
in as severe a manner as the circums-
tances demanded, as many father has
done his son. The reports that have
been circulated in regard to this mat
ter have done us all an injury that
time alone can efface and we desire
to protest against them. We wish to
assert our confidence In Prof. Nc
Clure and wife and are not willing
to believe in their cruelty. They
have lived amongst us for some two
years aud attended strictly to their
own buslness-that of school teaching.
They did this to the satisfaction of
nearly all their patrons and we deeply
regret their loss. On the spur of the
moment excitement was inflamed, and
warrant for their arrest was issued
without the support of an affidavit
from anyone. The Wild rumors reach
ed the ears of their attorney at Har-
dinsburg, who summoned them for a
conference At that meeting they were
informed that reports of mob violence
had reached that town, and then,
feeling that they were triendless and
alone. they left the country. Such
reports were without any foundation
and we attach no blame to them for
leaving. We, however, think they
actel hastily, and mad they returned
would have found friends here to have
upne them.

Kahfir Corn,

There are two varieties that Kansas
farmers have found most desirable for
forage-the black hulled white and
the red Kaf1r, says a bulletin Of the
Kansas station. The black hailed
white has a short stocky Stalk, with
short joints and quite numerous leaves
Of medium large size. The Red Kaffir
Is from seven to ten days earlier than
the white variety, but grows taller,
has smaller per cent of foliage and
grows a reduced yield of grain. Kaffir
corn can be sowed broadcast or drilled
in rows. The latter method seems to
have proven most satisfactory. It can
be drilled in rows the same distance
apart as corn-three to three and a
half feet apart. The kernels should
be drilled in, one in place few inches
apart in the row. 1t can be planted
with a grain drill, a one horse corn
drill or two horse corn planter with
drill attachment If the grain drill
is used it is best to stop up all but
two holes. The amount of seed the
Kansas station finds best is one bushel
to five acres, seed weighing Sc pounds
per bushel. The seed should be put
In about as deep as wheat. II
should be cultivated same as corn,
but care need be taken not to cultivate
too deep as the roots early in the
plants growth reach from row to
row. If the crop be desired for both
grain and fodder it should be cut with
corn binder, when the seed is ripe
and put into shocks. The Kansas sta
ton reports the average yield for IL
years as 46 bushels, while corn for
same period averaged 341k bushels per
acre. Stock soon tire of Kafir corn
when fed alone. The feed lacks fat,
is deficient in protein and has an ex.
cess of starch. Fed alone it is consti.
pating to all farm animals. 1t has to
be fed with laxative feeds to obtain
the best results.

Geology and Agriculture.

The realm Of agricultural knowledge
knows more than the farmer of the
past, and the farmer of the future
must be still more widely informed
New facts are entering into our agri
cultural problems. Geology even is
taking its place in the curriculum Of
the learning farmer. Who would have
suspected that learning about geologi
cal formations would help increase
the crops on certain farm! Yet such
knowledge is proving both valuable
and gratifying to the farmer. To il.
lustIate:
The soil survey in Illinois has shown
few general types of soil, which have
the same characteristics wherever
they are found. This soil has been an.
alyzed and tested by pot culture and
its deficiencies noted. The farmer on
such soil has only to know that he
is on such soil to know also how to
treat 1t to get the best results. Among
the classes of soils SO examined and
analysed we note the "unglaciated."
This soil wherever found has been
formed from the original rock masses
without the assistance of glaciers.
There is a large area Of this soil in
southern Illinois, comprised largely in
the counties of Massac, Pulaski.
Union, Alexander, Johnson, Pope and
Hardin, and parts of adjoining coun-
ties. The county of Calhoun in the
western part of the state and 10 Da-
viess county in the northwest part of
the state also escaped glacial action,
to their own detriment. These ungla-
ciated soils have been found to con-
tain an undesirable amount of acid;
that is, they are very sour. They are
all exceedingly deficient in nitrogen,
and this nitrogen lack cannot be sup.
piled through plants while the soil is
sour, as the nodule bacteria will not
live in acid soil.
But it is an easy matter to cure
this acidity by the addition of lime in
quantities or 800 to 1000 pounds per
acre, if the soil is plowed to a depth of
six inches only. AS it Is necessary
to grow leguminous crops In order to
put the nitrogen into the soil, the soil
must be lined. Had this been known
years ago, these soils would have
been treated as indicated and would
have been yielding profitable harvests.
In fact many of these lands that sell
for $25 per acre are declared by Pro-
lessor Cyril G. Hopkins to be as valu-
able as the lands worth 800 per acre
after they have been treated with lime
and devoted for few years to the
growing of legumes. 1t is thus that
the geologist and the chemist are
placing within our reach knowledge
that is to double the value of millions
Of acres Of our farm lands.
