To Improve the Corn Crop.

That corn can be grown profitably
in Virginia is shown by the fact that
the value of the crop per acre is S11.55,
whereas, in Illinois for a much larger
Weld it is only S11.59. Therefore by
increasing the yield through system
attic cultivation and fertilization, there
is a decided profit in sight for our
fasmers. The selection of a variety
and its adaptation to the soil and
climate conditions in which it is to be
grown will influence the yield OF corn
decidedly. The varieties grown for
three years showed some of these
remarkable differences. The height
varied from 90 to lis inches; theyield
of green slower from 5.S6 to 9.99 tons;
the WELD from 26.95 to 1857 bushels;
the per cent of cob from 1903 to
25.O7; and the weight per bushel from
81. 43 to 74.77 bushels. Selecting the
right variety is therefore matter OF
great Importance.
The selections of an ear showing a
high per cent of grain and a small
per cent of cob is matter of vital
concern in the improvement of corn.
The best type of ear to use is one
weighing from IL to 26 ounces, having
from 16 to "a rows of grain and uni
form in size from the but to tip.
The permanent Improvement OF
corn depends, first on the careful
preparation and fertilization of the
soil; second, on the selection of a
suitable variety; third, on the system
attic improvement Of this variety with
regard to shape and type of ear, the
size, height and character of the
stalk and the shape, quality and
condition of the green. Any farmer
by making a careful selection from
the best individual plants in hi:
field from year to year can secure q
uniform type of ear which will shell
out higher per cent of grain, show
flintier type of kernel and possessed
of desirable type of stalk.
BY attention to these points the
yield of corn on Virginia farms car
be increased from to ten bushels pei
acre. Surely this is reward worth
striving for.

The treaty of peace between Russia
and Japan was signed by the repre-
sentatives of the two empires on
Wednesday and terminated the war
of blood which has been ragged by
them for the last eighteen months.
The ratification of the treaty by the
Car and Mikado now onlyremains to
insure peace and having instructed
their representatives as to the terms,
that will not be Withheld. The Japs,
despite the fact that they got more
than they claimed when war was de-
clared by them, alone seem dissatis-
fled with the results. Their dissatis-
faction was shown by riOting in Toxic
on Wednesday, in which two were
killed and 500 wounded.

The Democrats will begin the
campaign about the middle of Septem-
Der. This early start is necessary
because of the aggressive action of
the Republicans, who are already at
work and who purpose to literally
flood the State with speakers. Some
of national reputation will be import
ed. The Republicans are making
their main appeal to the people on
the question of education. They are
advocating furnishing free books to
all the pupils. State Chairman Ely
son is about to call on a number OF
speakers. Among those who will take
the stump will be Senator Martin,
Gov. Montague and the other candi.
