Water Used by Growing Corn.
Han Trode Journal


Some remarkable results are being obtained
at the Missouri State Normal School at Cape
Girardeau in an experiment to determine how
much water corn will use during its growing
season If supplied with all the water its roots
will absorb.
The corn is growing outdoor in cylinder Is
inches in diameter and feet high. which is
filled with soil. At the bottom of this cylin-
der is a reservoir making connections with the
soil in the cylinder. but which is shut off en-
tirely from any connection with the air. The
soil was saturated with water and the reservoir
filed. The corn was then planted As the
water passes up through the soil TO evaporate
az its surface. or as II is used mp by the corn,
the level OF the water In the reservoir becomes
lower. By measuring the water that must be
added to this reservoir to keep It's level con-
slant we have an accurate record of the amount
Of water that leaves the cylinder both by evap-
Grafton and through the corn. The amount
evaporated by the soil Is measured by check
cylinder in which no corn is growing. The
corn was planted May 7th. There are three
stalks which at present July 18th. are just be-
ginning to silk
The remarkable results spoken of above have
been obtained during the last "a days. During
this period there has been fraction over
inches OF rainfall. an unusually large amount.
But notwithstanding this tremendous rainfall,
there has been absolutely no percolation into
the reservoir. On the contrary, 1872 pounds of
water have been added to the reservoir to keep
its water level constant. These three stalks of
corn have only oneseventh as much soil sur
face as they would have under usual field con
ditions but notwithstanding this fact the re-
suits show the enormous amount Of Wafarfbe.
corn uses when rapidly %s,ro-:s.g Each stalk

since it was two feet high. At this rate one
inch of rain must fall every II days to supply
the demands of growing corn.

Now. How Old Are the Twins ?


One of the most remarkable marriage tangles
ever known was presented to the authorities
in Probate Court this morning when Edward
and Fred. Metzger, twins, made applications to
marry sisters.
This in itself was strange enough, but when
the clerk was preparing the papers it was learn
ed that Albert Metzger, one of the applicants,
had married sister of the two prospective
brides of the twins, and that the father of the
twins is the husband of the girls mother.
This is the story: Lewis c. Metzger married
Mrs. Christina Miller Metzger and had three
sons. Mrs. Miller had three daughters. Now
the daughters become the brides of the sons.
In other words, Metzger is the father n-law of
his stepdaughters and Mrs. Metzger is the
motber-in- law of the stepsuns. And still the
wonder does not cease. Mrs. Metzger was mar
ried four times Her second marriage was to
the brother of her present husband, but by that
union she had no children.
The boys havesropped figuring on the puzzle
of relationships involved, saying that if they
have children the relationships will be so mix
ed as to battle deciphering.

numerous occasions when it appeared that no

EX-SENATOR WELLINGTON was badly left in
the Republican primary in Allegany county
last Saturday-at least the men for whom he
stood were deeply showed under. These men
were charged with wearing the Wellington
collar and that was enough. Evidently the
people of Allegany have not yet forgotten
Wellington's treatment of Mckinley, nor are
they likely to do so very soon.

Much OF the nervousness from which women
suffer is caused, it is said, by the incorrect
positions in which they sit when they sew or
work. Sitting with one shoulder higher than
the other, slouching down in the chair until
you are literally sitting on the end of the spine,
are bad habits that bring about nervous
