A summary of the bulletin follows:
During the past ten years fifty-two va

ductive varieties We're Moseby, Cooke,

Varieties of the prolific type, two

yields than did the types in which the
number of ears was smaller, but the size
larger.
Early varieties were relatively unpro-
ductive.
Repeated tests of seed corn grown in
different ATTITUDES indicated that with GER
tain varieties seed from Virginia and Ten
nessee proved superior to that from Della

was visited by a fire last night which
destroyed the most historic ante-bellum
residence i'm the town. The old Coleman
home on Coleman hill, just south of the
fort in the Coleman addition to Athens,
was totally destroyed by fire at II o'clock.
The flames were discovered eating the
roof of the old part of the home, which
was hidden from view by the handsome
two story part, until the fire was beyond
control, and the residence being out of
the water limit nothing could be done
to stay the hand of destruction and all
that could be done was to save the con-
tents of the home, which was occupied
by Messrs. Giles and sisters, recently
moved here from Huntsville. This home
was one Of the handsomest built in this
section prior to the war of 1861 and was
owned by the late Judge Daniel Coleman,
where he reared his large family and
where he died. 1t was owned at the time
of its destruction by the Athens Realty
company. which was developing the Cole
man addition. The house bore marks of
the battle fought here in the fall of 1864.

more careful selection of the seed corn
obtained from Virginia and Tennessee. 1t
is generally advisable that seed corn for
Alabama be obtained either from this lat
itude or from some other region south of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers
Many early varieties from northern
grown seed afforded large proportion
of unsound corn
In six tests seed corn from the bottom
ear afforded a slightly larger yield than
from the top ear and in two tests seed
from the top ear gave the larger yield
Subsoiling did not increase the yield
of corn sufficiently to be profitable
The yield was not materially influenced
by the depth of the first cultivation.
Planting corn in water burrows did not
increase the yield.
The yield of grain was slightly de-
creased by pulling fodder. by topping and
by cutting and shocking the plant The
average yield of dry fodder or blades
was 5l5 pounds, of cured tops AIS pounds
and of cured slower 1893 pounds per acre
The increase in the yield of corn due
to the use of velvet bean stubble as a
fertilizer was 4.3 bushels per acre. Where
the entire growth of velvet beans was
plowed under the increase in the first
corn crop was 1913 bushels and the in
crease in the second corn crop was "A
bushels. The increase in the two corn
crops was 1871 bushels greater where the
entire growth of velvet beans was plowed
under than where only the roots and
stubble were plowed under.
The yield of corn was SO bushels per
acre greater when COW pea vines were
plowed under than when only the stubble
was used as fertilizer. The increase from
blowing under beggar weed. which grew
after the corn was laid by, averaged
ga bushels per acre
When velvet bean vines or COW pea
vines were plowed under the addition OF
acid phosphate profitably increased the
yield of corn.
Applying a part of the fertilizer be-
fore planting and a part at the second
cultivation did not increase the yield as
compared with using all of it before plant
ing
Nitrate of soda afforded a larger in
crease than did cotton seed meal, cotton
seed or barnyard manure.
1t is recommended that a fertilizer for
corn contain a relatively large proper
ton of nitrogen.
Below are given the addresses, either
of the originators of the varieties stand
ing at the head of the list in these tests
or the parties from whom this station
usually obtained seed of these varieties.

Hobson spoke to a crowded house here
yesterday afternoon. His hearers gave the
closest attention and the address was
well received. He says that the history
of the last two years has not controverted
his arguments. but that events have DEM
onstrated the correctness of his position.
1t is gratifying to note a change from the
heat of the last campaign. 1t seems that
this time discussions will be more dispas-
sionate. Judging from remarks of some
of the voters, his speech seemed to be a
vote getter.

GUILTY MAN GETS AWAY

Ensley, March 11.-(Speeial)- What
seems to have been an unprovoked and
cold blooded killing occurred about Z
o'clock this morning at the steel plant.
The authorities refuse to give out any
particulars until after the inquest tomor-
row. and as there seems to have been but
one eye witness. only meagre details of
the killing are obtainable
1t seems that a negro rodman, whose
name is given as John Kent, who was
employed at the rod mill, was making a
short cut through the steel plant when he
was ordered to stop by the Waterman,
Joe Cambrella. Cambrella is an Italian,
about Go years old. The negro turned
and started back. but before he had gone
any distance the Italian drew his revolver
and shot him dead ON the spot A IS
calibre weapon was used and only on
shot was fired, which took effect back of
the ear
