PANHANDLE CORN SUCCESS
Citizen OF Wheeler County Talks
About Raising Corn Where the
Annual Rainfall Is Little.

Corn growing in the Texas Pam
handle is now accomplished in a
manner that would not have been
imagined possible five or six years
ago. The rainfall is not regular
there, and it is limited. AS the
country has become settled with
industrious ard earnest farmers,
however, cultural methods have
been adopted and attention to
soil and climate conditions has
developed way to win with corn
even IN the short grass country.
knowledge of the success of A. j.
Burnham of Wheeler county is
helpful to farmers in Western
Texas. Burnham lately wrote:
"When | look over the many
brown, burnt corn fields of this
country, | cannot refrain from
Offering these suggestions to farm
er friends When | came to
Wheeler county six years ago, l
was convinced there was sufficient
rainfall in this country to produce
and mature any kind of crop.
The problem to be solved in my
mind was, how to retain the mois-
ture 80 as to carry corn crop
safely through the usually dry
months of June and July.
"By three successive years,
which were unusually dry, / have
demonstrated that this can be
done by storing the moisture in
the soil. In the first place, use
good seed, and see that your drill
does not let too much of it out
One grain dropped every thirty
inches will give a good stand.
Plant as early in the spring as the
ground will do to work, using a
lister with good subsoil attach
ment, and do not he afraid of put

When the corn is planted do not
wait for it to come up, but put
your monitor on it, so adjusted as
to only turn a portion of the loose
soil thrown out by the lister into
the furrow, with your shields so
adjusted that you will not throw
too much loose dirt on the corn
which may just be coming through
the ground.

by the time one team will cover
it, 1t will be ready for the second

disturbance of health from these
exposures. The room was twenty
feet by fourteen feet, double
walled, tightly sealed, heated to
above 80 degrees Fahrenheit and
dark.
1.-TWO other non-immunes then
occupied the room for twenty
nights, while additional articles
of bedding and clothing were
added. They slept in the gar
ments and between the sheets
that had covered cases of yellow
fever, some of which were fatal.
The result of the second attempt
was nil. A third attempt was
then made with two additional
non-immunes, equally without
success. Not the slightest indis-
position followed close and inti-
mate contact with this repulsive
material in any case. Tempera-
lures and pulse rates were re-
corded at regular and frequent
intervals. Four Of these seven
non-immunes were subsequently
infected by blood-injections and
by means of infected mosqui-
toes. "
Another kind of experiment
was included in the Cuban inves-
legations of yellow fever. A room
was prepared 80 as to preclude
the possibility of infection by
fomites Objected articles), Every
article contained in the room had
been previously disinfected and
was thoroughly clean. The only
possible means of infection with
yellow fever was by infected mos
quitoes, liberated in the room
containing the human subjects of
the experiment. Yellow fever
promptly followed the introduce
tion of mosquitoes into the room,
The Reed memoir continues:
WHAT EXPERIMENTS PROVED.
"Besides the experimental
cases caused by mosquito bites,
four non-immunes were infected
by Injecting blood drawn directly
from the veins of yellow fever
pate ITS in the first two days of
the disease, thus demonstrating
the presence of an infectious
agent in the blood at this early
period of the attack.
Given the blood serum of a
patient, passed through a bacter-
ia-proof filter, was found to be
capable of causing yellow fever in
another person.
"The details of the experiments
are most interesting, but it must
here suffice to briefly sum up the

time adjust the discs of monitor
so that they will cut the full
depth, and raise your shields 80
as to let plenty of loose dirt
aronnd the young corn. BY the
time your field is covered
the second time your corn
will be large enough for the culti-
vator. See that your shovels are
good and sharp and so adjust
them tnat they will run deep in
the ground, and see that the hard
ridges between the corn rows are
thoroughly broken up Leave
your ground as near level as pos
sible. This work should be done,
if possible, before June 1.
1.-The next cultivation should
depend on conditions. If there
should be a heavy fall of rain,
and the ground we'll packed, do
not delay the work of the cultiva-
tor ror the fourth dressing. This
time it will not be necessary to
run your shovel 30 deep, If the
dry weather has set in, be careful
not to disturb the roots of the
growing corn.
"Try this plan and corn will
withstand this worst drought, A
sufficient amount of moisture will
he stored in the soil and your corn
roots protected from the hot sun
and wind by a sufficient amount
of we'll pulverized soil, through
which the moisture will not evap-
crate until your corn crop is ma
tured.
II have followed this system
for three years and have never
failed to produce from 40 to so
bushels of corn to the acre"

"3. The disease cannot be

bite of the previous infected steg-

by patients do not carry infection.

The MOSQUITO THEORY
Yellow Fever Is Transmitted Only BY
Means of Certain Species Of
Mosquito.

San Angelo is preparing to
throw open wide her doors to refu-
gees from the yellow fever infect
ed districts. In this connection
it may be well enough that all
San Angelo people were provided
with information IA to the mos
quito theory of transmission Of
disease. There arc quite few
people who do not accept this
theory and who oppose the idea
of asking the people Of Louisiana
to consider San Angelo a haven
of refuge. For the benefit Of
those people the following ex-
cerpts from government reports
are published this week
DR.. j. II. White, surgeon in
charge of Government Relief
measures in the state of Louisi-
ana, says:
There is no possible way in
which yellow fever may he trans
mitted other than by the mos
quito"
This theory was frat accepted
by Major Walter Reed of the
United States army in Cuba dur
ing the occupation Of that island
by American forces and during
the administration of Gen. Wood
as military governor, He got two
other surgeons interested in his
theory, obtained number Of
volunteers and with two trained
nurses repaired to camp several
miles from Havana.
DR.. Lazer lost his life for the
sake of the experiments. Drs.
Carroll and Reed recovered, DR..
Carroll made the following subse-
quent report:

Naturally yellow fever is
transmitted by the mosquito, and
always and only by the mosquito.
The harmlessness of fomites has

nights in room from which

On last Friday night exceedingly
heavy rains fell in and around Saluda
Right heavy wind accompanied the
rain and in many places corn was
very badly blown about. We have
not heard Of any place in the county
where it did not rain on that night
but, that the rain reached over a
good portion Of otf er counties. This
is the first rain Of its kind that we
have CAD for quite while. In many
places creeks and branches ran very
high, doing much damage to land and
crops. Many small bridges i'm the
county are reported washed away and
many torn up.
