HEARST 4 POTENT FACTOR.

Norman +. Mack, New York
member of the Democratic National
Committee, and editor of the Buff
falO Times, was in Washington
yesterday. Mr.. Mack is one of
the best informed men of the day
on New York politics.
He declared that if William
Randolph Hearst is elected Cover
nor of New York this year he will
be almost sure to secure the Dem
ocratic nomination for President
in 1905, and that in his opinion
William Jennings Bryan will not
oppose Mr.. Hearst's nomination.
Il have no doubt at ALL" said
Mr.. Mack, that if Hearst Is nom
mated for governor by the indie
pendent forces which now are be-
ing organized around him he will
be elected by an enormous majority.
With an independent nomination
secured before the State Demo
cratic Convention is held the Dem
ocrats would be compelled TO nom
mate Hearst also, unless they de-
sired to be defeated worse than
they have ever been in New York.
IF he is elected governor of the
Empire State | don't see how any
body could beat him for the Presi-
dental nomination two years from
now. l don't think Mr.. Bryan
would be drawn into a fight against
him for that nomination. / under
stand that they are very good
friends. Washington Post.

Varieties Of Corn.

Twenty varieties of corn were
planted on the Blacksburg Station
pIats April 20, 1905. They matur-
ed from September 4, to October
20. Early Leaning ripened in l2S
days. This is a yellow corn which
Is well adapted to almost every
section of the State. Boone County
White, an improved strain from
Indiana, matured in 1872 days; Vir-
ginia Golden Dent in 1872 days;
Hickory King in 1856 days; Cookies
Prolific in rs days. Our expert
ence with Virginia and western
grown seed indicates that the eli
mate has determined influence on
the shape and character Of the
grain. Our climate does not favor
the development of long deep
grain with a rough top so charac-
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1906-03-28

teristic of the western corn. This
indicates very clearly that Virginia
farmers must undertake the selec-
ton and improvement of strains of
western corn for themselves and
that they cannot use the western
grown product, except possibly
for foundation stock. These varie-
ties of corn were planted in checks
1916 inches apart in each direction
which gave 1000 hills per acre and
5000 stalks.
The importance of selecting corn
carefully and using standard varie-
ties was shown by the fact that
there were only as per cent of
barren stalks in Blunt's Prolific as
compared with 1915 per cent in
Virginia EnSilage. There was
less per cent of barren stalks in
Boone County White and Hickory
King; 1880 per cent in Virginia
Golden Dent and 20 per cent in
Leaning. Boone County White
led in yield with 50.35 bushels:
Virginia Golden Dent was second
with AZ. 80 bushels; Cookies Prolific
third with 1892 bushels; Hickory
King fourth with 52.S5 bushels;
Blunt's Prolific fifth with 4O.35
bushels; johnson County White
sixth with 37.S5 bushels; and
Leaning seventh with 81 81 bushels
These are some of the best varie-
ties as revealed by one years in
vestigations. and it is question
Ofsuch importance To the majority
of our farmers that the work will
be pushed vigorously this year.
When it Is remembered that the
yields of these 20 varieties grown
side by side varied from % to 30
bushels, the importance of select
ing and improving strains of corn
adapted to a given locality becomes
apparent. and it is with the idea of
emphasizing this point that the
above suggestions have been made.

The SACRED LOTUS.

There Are Pretty Legends OF song
and story About Its Fruit.
Concerning the rich fruit of The lotus.
which grew luxuriantly IN the Nile.
many charming legends have been told.
It was believed that it was so delight
ful that those who ate OF 81 would new
er leave the spot where it grew. but
for il would abandon home and friends

the northern coast OF Africa and re-
cords their attempts TO dctain the fol-
lowers OF Ulysses by giving them the
fruits OF the lotus TO cat. so that they
should never wish 10 leave the spot
where It grew.
The same poetical idea is known to
the Arabs. who call 80 the fruit OF des-

Tonnyson built his charming poem OF
the Lotus Eaters" This mythical
lotus has been identified by several

RIGS OF the size of an eM-e.

in Central America bearing berries OF
4 delicious taste, which. ON being dried
and pounded, made very wholesome
and pleasant bread. The lotus fruit
found in Tunis has a stimulating, al
most intoxicating effect and 1t is
therefore probable that this plant fur
nished the foundation OF the ancient
legends.
The sacred lotus Of the Egyptians

FOR SUMMER NORMAL SCHOOL.

BY an act of the Legislature
eight summer normal schools viii
be held in the State this summer.
One will be held in Winchester
These summer normals are Of
great value to the teachers of the
State, and the various county
school boards should offer every
inducement and make liberal ap-
preparations for the purpose.
The normal at Winchester will
undoubtedly be attended by teach
ers from Clarke county.
Our County School Board should
have a meeting at once and take
steps to assist the local teachers in
attending the session at Winches-
ter, as incalculable good will be
accomplished at small cost.
The legislative act which provid-
ed for these schools only appro-
priated a sum of $1,000. That
sum will be entirely too small un-
less the different county school
boards made appropriations.
The County of Clarke is not so
poor that it cannot afford to help
the teachers little.
Let us insist that Superintendent
Massey at once call special meet
ing of the County School Board,
for the the purpose of discussing
this matter and making an appro-
priation for the purpose of helping
