By means of heavy hitting and the
droWsiness Of the Pullman shortstop,
the Boosters were able to accumulate
six runs in the second inning of the

Geo. WiCkersham Dissatisfied With
Award Given Frank Davis.
he CLAIMS ARBITRAT0Rs MIsBEHAVED
CONTROVERSY OVER PIECE OF
LAND BIDS FAIR TO GET
INTO COURT.

A dispute between George Wicker
sham and Frank Davis, prominent
farmers on upper Mill creek, over a
piece of land, bids fair to get into
the courts for settlement. A board
of arbitrator appointed some time ago
to arbitrate the differences between the
two ranchers found that Davis was en-
titled to an award of $3.50. This evil
IDENTIFY was not satisfactory to Wick
ersham, as yesterday evening, through
his attorney, he filed an objection to
the award in the superior court, in
which some startling allegations are
made against the board of arbitrators.
Says Arbitrators Misbehaved.
Mr.. Wickersham alleges that individ
ual members of the board misbehaved
themselves in the case while they had
the matter under advisement and be-
fore rendering their award. Wicker
sham also declares that undue influ-
ence and undue means were employed
in procuring the award. In just what
way the arbitrator miSbehaved is left
to conjecture, as Mr.. Wickersham does
not specify any particular acts they
might be guilty of, nor does he state
in what way influence was used in
procuring the award.

Stay on the Farm

My boy, when the changes of fortune
Make life on the farm seem vain,
When the crops of the drouth have
been blighted
And the harvest of hay and of grain
Yields little for hard work and worry,
No reason you have for alarm.
Don't try other work that's no better,
But stay where you are--on the
farm.
Hasten not to the strange, distant city
To it's sin and its vice and its shame
The traps set to snare truth and
virtue,
Oft hidden meath pleasures fair
name.
Suffer not in the prime of young man
hood
To be defeated by failures strong
arm,
But preserve both your health and
good name, sir,
And ever remain on the farm.
There's the air of true freedom about
you;
There's joy in the bright, sunny
day
In the blooming of orchards and
pastures,
In the perfume of newly mown hay.
You'll miss the blue hills Id the
woodlands,
And your life will be robbed of its
charm
If YOU fee from the wheat field and
meadow
And leave once for all the old farm
Love the snow and the rain and the
sunshine,
The peace of this calm, quiet life;
Too many who leave Mother Nature

most satisfactory, while in the middleF|
portion Leaning, Calico, and Pride of
the North, and in the western Pride

In studying the relation of size of
ear to yield it was found that the
heaviest yielding varieties produced
ears of medium size, the average
weight per ear of the five leading
sorts below 0705 pounds, or consid-
erably below the average weight per
ear of all the varieties. The corn
raised in the central and western part
of the state produced smaller ears
than the same varieties grown in the
eastern part. The number of ears per
bushel, as indicated by reports from
experimenters, ranged from SO to 1872.
In growing /, 2, 5 or stalks per
hill it was found that the yield per
acre increased with the thickness of
planting. The average weight of
ears as well as the percentage of good
ears decrease, as did also the number
of ears per 100 plants and the num-
| Der of suckers per 100 plants. Under
| favorable conditions stalks per hill
in rows "A inches apart each way
gave the largest yield of grain, but
| the conclusion drawn is that the best
rate of planting varies according to
the soil and season, and that there
fore in Nebraska the rate of planting
should not be less than three kernels
per hill, while in the western part on
the western edge of the corn belt two
stalks per hill are believed to be bet
ter than a large number.
The size of ear showed a regular
decrease as the rate of planting in
creased. The average ear from the
planting containing one stalk per hill
weighed 1916 ounces while the average
ear of the planting with five stalks
per hill weighed only &c ounces. The
largest number of ears, amounting to
6S per cent, was obtained from the
planting with two stalks per hill. In

TO STOP HALTER PULLING.

The best device1 know of is to take
a small rope, say halfinch, making a
large loop at one end, passing it I'M
der his tail like a crouper strap,
passing it along the horses back,
hitching it TO the halter. In arrang-
ing the rope it will be necessary to
have harness on the horse or sur.
cingle with loop on the back to pass
rope through, so as TO hold it in place
Thus arranged when the horse pulls
back he tightens the rope under his
tail. The horse soon learns what he
has most to fear when ne pulls from
behind, not in front, and soon learns
to desist from pulling.
