Now that all city officers are

years of civic peace and progress.
Perhaps friend was defeated in
his aspirations, perhaps two.
Let's accord the majority the rul-
ing power. It's this which has
made America great.
There are many good things
which might fall TO San Angelo $
lot ere the world is two years old
or. Let's look out for these things
and go after them with earnest
ness. Our city has n citizenship
to be proud Of. 1t has natural
facilities which foreshadow great
ness. 1t has trade territory the
supplying Of which in commercial
lines will make San Angelo
wealthy. Let's pursue these arts
Of peace.
Let not ambition mock or make
fools of us. We are not ready to
assume the guise of the eagle yet
we are higher in the scale than
the tomtit. Let's be ambitious
for our city. Let's be proud OF
our good western country, and let
us scatter the glory Of it all to the
east and to the west, to the north
and to the south Let's look out
for those things in which there is
substance, endeavoring to secure
their location and operation here
Lets us not put on airs but let us
rather be unassuming doing fol
our town only that advertising
which is dignified and legitimate
After our efforts have been tried
and if we win, let us strive on fol
other good things, never losing
ambition and ever tireless in wei
doing, and if we fail, let liz bC

POiuta In Corn Growing.

Points In Corn Growing.
The art OF raising corn Is summed
up In Indiana Farmer: The cut OF
corn plants in a row distance part Is
shown for the purpose Of impressing
the reader with the Importance OF bet
ter methods Of cultivation than those
formerly pursued; in other words. to
show the necessity Of shallow level
cultivation after the corn plant Is
few feet high.
This country has the only produc-
tive and profitable corn belt in the
world. The demand and increasing
price of corn in the last Ave years
have raised the annual production to
about 1000, bushels, and yet
the average per acre for the whole
country Is only 242 bushels. 1t Is
rather remarkable fact that on the
poor soils Of New England the aver
age production per acre is largest.
This is doubtless due to the fact that
better fertilization, cultivation and
seed selection is practiced there. 1t
Is very well known that there Is great
advantage in seed selection. Many
instances Of this have shown that on
the same quality of soils fifteen bush
els per acre have been produced, more
than where the work Of selecting seed
was neglected. Again. it has been
shown that corn growing on lands the
previous year in leguminous crops has
greatly increased in production.
The best corn growers now begin
cultivation with weeders or harrows
before. or by the time, the corn be-
gins to appear above the ground, this
both for the purpose of destroying the
terminating weeds as well as to put
the soil in better condition for corn
growth. 1t Is always important that
the ground be stirred after rains
where crust forms and starts rapid
evaporation Of the moisture. 1t is
we'll settled now that good dust
mulch Of two or three inches depth
is one Of the things necessary in corn
cultivation.
Formerly deep cultivation was prac
ticed, but it is now seen that this was
mistake. When the crop Is three
or four feet high the ground begins tc
mat with the fine flbrous roots which
extend from row to row, as shown In
the cut. When six to eight feet high
these fine root feeders of the plant
have made a complete mat between
the rows. In deep cultivation, reach
ing down to fve or six inches. these
fine plant feeders are broken of. and
growth toward maturity Is checked
OF course. new fbrous roots will form
