OF Corn.

Other things being equal, it is not
wise generally to import corn from
a distance, especially a different lati-
tude, because it will not, as a general
-ule, yield satisfactory returns until it
has become thoroughly acclimated,
which usually requires from two to
three or more years. We have had
many striking instances of this fact
in u tests Of varieties of corn brought
from the Northwestern States. None
of these varieties have done very we'll
with us, although they are the most
prolific mes in the Northwest. This is
the reason that it is urged in another
part of this series of articles that the
history of all seed corn purchased be
ascertained from the dealer. Neither
is it prudent to buy seed corn that was
grown in the extreme South. for it,
being accustomed to a longer growing
period than we have in North Caro-
lima. will be liable to be caught by
frost, and thereby give a diminished
yield of immature grain, especially If.
fall comes early. The small yield of
the Northwestern corns, on the other
hand. being accustomed to a shorter
growing period than we have is forced
to maturity at an earlier period than is
conducive to the largest yields in our
climate.
In Our experiments we nave gotten
the higher yields of shelled corr per
acre from the white than from the
yellow varieties of corn. This greater
yield may be due to the fact that the
Southern people. being partial as a gem
eral rule, to white corns, have improved
them more than they have the yellow
varieties. From the standpoint of
chemical composition. the yellow corns
are no richer in feeding value than the
white corns, which fact is contrary to
a common belief prevalent in this and
other States. The only difference in
the two is that there is coloring mat
ter present in the kernels of the yellow
corn which is not found in the kernels
of white v~arities of corn.-By c. B..
Williams and B. W. Kilgore, of the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture.

Guilt waiting Sugar Cane.

The sugar cane has no main root, but
like all grasses possesses a great num-
Der of fine rootlets; these spread to a
great distance and to a considerable
depth in suitable soil. The results
would be of considerable interest and
value If planters would make a series
of observations on the range Of the
roots of the sugar cane. In good soil
the majority Of the r~ootlets reach a
depth Of about two feet; a smaller
number extending even to four or five
feet; in moderately well titled soil the
roots grow ~downwards until they reach
the layer of soil but little disturbed
by cultivation, and then spread later
ally, SO that the depth to which the
roots descend in a stiff soil depends on
the depth of the tillage.

HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set OF men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession of the fact.
A case in point is that of an eminent
practitioner, one of the good old school,
who lives in Texas. His plain, IN
vanished tale needs no dressing up:
II had always had an intense preju-
dice, which I can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never read a line of the many ads
Of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food
till last winter.
"While in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son.
who has four of the ,ruddiest, health
lest little boys 1 ever saw, l ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons. I be-
came exceedingly fond of it and have
eaten a package of it every week since.
and find it q DELICIOUS, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no ill eff
fects whatever, causing no eructations
with which I was formerly much
troubled, no sense Of %fullness, nausea,
nor distress of stomach in any way.
"There is no other food that agrees
with me SO we'll, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. l am stronger and more active
since I began the use OF Grape-Nuts
than [ have been for ten years, and am
no longer troubled with ausea and in

Mr.. Brown replied: q suppose its
object is to raise more revenue"
''Waat do You think, Mr.. Brown,
about assessing lands at their reai
value,"
"This," said Mr.. Brown, sis in favor of
the land owners woo have but an accu-
rate account of their expenses and of
their income from the proceeds of their
farms. This win enable them to deduct
their expenses from their gross income
and thereby show their net profits. This

termine the value of their farm. ANY
