AGRICULTURE
cIo.ensss Of Corn p,ant,ns.


The closeness of planting corn de.
Ponds to some extent on the latitude.
Thicker planting is possible in the
north than in the south on account Of
the smaller growth In size Of the stalk.
In tests made in Georgia, Louisiana
and South Carolina, rows five feet
apart, with stalks at intervals OF three
to four feet, were preferred. At moro
nOrtherly stations best results have
been obtained with rows about three
feet apart and with stalks IL to le
inches apart.
Closer planting will in many cases
give larger yield of fodder. but 1t
will be at the expense of the grain.
Where the corn is to be used In the
silo the planting should be with rows
about thirty inches apart and with the
kernels six inches apart in the row.
This will give stalks without ears but
the amount of food from one acre will
be probably greater than from any
other mode of planting. The idea that
it is necessary to ensilage ears OF corn
with the stalks to get the best results
seems TO be exploded by recent expert
ments. The above estimate Is for the
dent varieties.
The flint varieties of corn grow
smaller and may be planted 4 little
thicker than the dent varieties and yet
give a good yield of grain. At the
Connecticut station whore rows stood
four feet apart, flint variety Of corn
gave the greatest returns when the
kernels were planted one foot apart
in the row, while 4 dent variety gave
greatest returns when the kernels
were planted two feet apart. This
shows something Of the difference BE-
tween the two classes of corn.
In experiments At the Illinois sta
ton on fertile prairie loan with rows
"A inches apart = medium-sized dent
variety gave the largest yields Of good
corn when planted At the rate of one
kernel each 8 to II inches; the yield
of corn and stover increased with
thickness of planting up to one kernel
each three inches.

JAPAN's CASE AGAINST FRANCE
Summary Of the Alleged Violations Of
Neutrality.

NSuCTdutys
Paris, May lin the course of an
apparently \ authoritative statement
published here during the day of
Japan's case against France sum-
mary is given Of various acts of as
sistance rendered the vessels of the
Russian squadron at Cherbourg, Da-
kar, Aigiers, Jibutil, Magunga, Nossi
Be, Kamranh bay, Port Dayot and Hon
kobe bay. The conclusions of the
japanese government are stated to be
as follows:
First-Without questioning the good
faith Of France Japan holds that the
French orders to observe neutrality
have not been sufficiently executed.
Second-Frapc should have taken
sufficient measures beforehand to pre-
vent violations of neutrality, instead
Of securing the observance of neutYal-
lily after Japan's remonstrance.
Third-In default of sufficient sur
veillance Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
has been greatly facilitated in the &C.
complishment of his mission and in
gaining access to Chinese waters. Con-
sequently it was for the ends of war.
fare that Vice Admiral Roiestvensky
utilized on successive occasions French
waters both for anchoring and revic-
tualling and in awaiting the arrival of
reinforcements.
The foregoing is said to be sub
stantially. Japan's position both as tc
the past and as to the basis OF any
future claims arising from the alleged
breaches of neutrality.
