Adapting Corn Varieties.

Adapting Corn Varieties.
We are always learning something
new about the corn plant. One thing.
new at least to a good many students
OF the corn plant, Is that corn varie-
ties differ so greatly in their charac-
teristics that success or failure with
corn depends on the selection OF the
right varieties for certain fields. 1t
Is not unusual to hear of man de-
claring that the variety of corn he
grows is one of the most profitable
in the world and will give most aston
lshing yields. The fact is that he is
growing it on location that Is admir-
ably suited to it. We are now coming
to have varieties OF corn adapted to
uplands and to lowlands. The lowland
variety may do very we'll on the up
land in wet year, but in a dry year
proves almost failure, while the var
ety adapted to the upland yields well
even in bad seasons. At the present
time this differentiation is only be-
ginning to be made. During this sum
mer corn growers would do well to
watch the behavior of corn on low
lands and uplands. At the present
time we have only very meager data
by which to figure out what kind OF
corn a man should select for the bot
tom lands and what kind for the up
lands. Some of our experimenters
are only now just beginning to study
the corn plant from this standpoint.
We have. however, much to hope for
from our agricultural colleges in this
matter. The students are taking great
interest in such matters and are tax
ing up every phase of corn growing.
This study of varieties is one that
may well engross the attention OF
some of the brightest minds.

Church pews as investments.

At Kirkham (Eng.) Parish church
the greater portion of the pew rents,
instead of swelling the exchequer of
the church, go into the pockets of pri-
vate individuals. who, for the most
part, do not attend the church or oven
reside in the district. The peculiar
situation originated in 1923, when, to
meet the expenses OF rebuilding the
church, about forty pews and few
organ seats we're put up for auction
and realized amounts varying from
SITS to $500. The church wardens
are endeavoring to cone to an ar
rangement with the pew owners with
a view to securing larger share of
the rents for the benefit Of the church.

The Potato Euu.


One of the great obstacles to the
raising Of potatoes has been the po-
tato bug; yet this insect is easily con-
trolled, if the farmer will resort to
the use Of the arsenical poisons. A
good many farmers, however, are
afraid to have poison around, knowing
that now and then very serious acct
dents happen as a result of it's pres
ence. Such farmers are forced to re-
sort to the old methods of hand-pick-
ing. Indeed, such potato grower as
L. B. Terry hand-picks his potato
bugs. The most popular course, how
ever, is to use paris green either as
dust or as part of liquid solution.
II the bugs are taken as soon as
they appear, it will seldom be neces-
sary to treat the entire field. The
bugs being killed on the part of the
field where they appear, will have no
opportunity to extend their labors to
other parts. There are many combi-
nations used, but one pound of pure
paris green to $50 gallons of water
is enough. When dust is used one
pound of the paris green may be
mixed with so pounds of air slaked
lime and the resulting powder ap-
piled by being sifted over the plants
with some kind of box In which are
small holes. A good sized pepper
box is found serviceable. In such a
case it is better to apply the dust
while the dew is on the vines.

The star of beauty smiling I'm its rays;
The birds sing low-as wooing their own

The air breathes lovers breath on

While Silence. eloquent with voiceless

Its beauty, and its mystery are part

Little Barefoot" Of Bubbly Creek.

Little Barefoot" of BubbIy Creek.
Her father twists the lever on a Halsted
trolley train,
At noon she brings his dinner pail,
drenched in the pelting rain.
She has a piquant rose-leaf face, a ro-
guish head of hair:
She is the mascot OF the car, the pasaen-
gers declare.
And when her father eats his lunch. she
grasps the trolley bar
NOW, Daddy, you just femme be, and l
will run the car
or course I've got 'em beat n block; you
sec the coast Is clear.
Say. Daddy. how do you like TO see me
play the engincer?'
REFRAIN
Now. all aboard. get ready: say. Miss
Rosey. hold her steady,
can run the trolley car, betause my
daddy's near.
Don't you hear that whistle blowing, TO
old Bubbly Creek we're going
Gay, daddy. don't you like to see me play
the engineer"
ahe holds the lever like her dad. and
guides the trolley true:
O'yr pTairics wide they swiftly glide by
roses drenched In dew;
O'sr bridges high they painting fly, and
breast the shrieking gale;
The little lassie's still on deck and
guides them DER tho rail.

her head back and as she did-their
lips met in one long kiss.
The following morning the man
awakened with song upon the lips
that she had kissed. AS he dressed
he strutted as a self-satisfied cock
might strut while he plumed himself
in the barnyard. They were to leave
that night. OF course nothing could
prevent her going, now-"nothing but
DEATH" she had said. All the morning
he. was busy arranging his affairs for
a long absence.
At noon came a messenger with
note. It was from her. How well he
knew the gray paper and the dainty
writing! He caressed the envelope be-
fore he opened it. why, l am getting
as sentimental a woman" he said
aloud, laughingly. Then he tore the
note open and this is what it said:

have chosen death. / could not leave

peace for me but in death. Forgive

The woman killed herself on Octo-
Der the 9th. Her husband died of a
long. lingering illness on October 10th.
Under the naples the man walked
and the little leaves of brown and
yellow and those with the crimson
blots danced about him. The man
had grown old in two days, frost had
touched his temples and his face was
gray and drawn. He looked at the
red chimneys above the tree tops; he
held out his arms towards them, yearn-
ingly, with a half-stifed moan. The
little leaves danced and few in clouds
before his eyes, they beat him upon
the face; they seemed to run and
jump before his sight. binding him,

When she replied her voice mad a
subtle quality Of monotony in it as if
she were speaking lesson, uttering
some sentiment in which she had reso-
lutcly schooled herself. ''Ah. the sin.
You would never be happy with bad

1t seemed to make him furious. He
gazed at her blackly. "A bad woman!

Then she suddenly acknowledged the
falsity of her speech. 'No-no-no.
