A Protest.

Mcdowell, Mar 20, 1906,-Editor
of the Highland Recorder
We have recently Learned with
much surprise that an effort is be-
ing made on the part OF some peo-
pie to induce the board OF Superv.-
sors TO reduce the present levy for
school purposes in this county. No
argument should be needed to con-
vince the Board of the absurdi'y Of
such proposition.
1t hardly seems possible, at a
time when almost universal inter-
est is being shown in the welfare
of the public schools. that our SUI
pervisors will be found ready to re-
tard the movement for better
schools and longer terms by refus-
al to provide for the. small levy,
which instead of being in excess Of
our needs. has been insufficient to
properly supply them.
The additional state approprla-
ton of 100000 for the public
schools by the Legislature may APP
pear very large; but when it is re.
membered that upon the distribu.
ton of this amount among the var
ious counties on the basis OF
school population, the increase in
each district of this county cannot
exceed 200.00, it will be readily
seen that the reduction OF our
present local levy would be disas-
trous to the school work of the
county. :,
1t is needless to say that the sal
airy of teachers in this county has
always been, and still is, much toe
small. The conditions Of school
buildings and school grounds fur.
nishs enough evidence TO all except
those "who having eyes, see not,
that more money is very much
needed for district purposes.
In the face Of these facts, tht
proposal to reduce our present
school fund should be met with
emphatic disaprroval. Such a sug-
gestlon indeed CAN eminate only
I from gross ignorance or blind pred,
JUDGE, and can appeal only to tht
enemies Of real progress in school
work.

Varieties of Corn

Twenty varieties of corn were
planted on the Station plats April
20, 1905. They matured from Sep
TENDER 4, to October 25.. Early
Leaning ripened in 1913 DAYS. This
is a yellow corn which is we'll adapt
ed to almost any section Of the
State. Boone County White, an
improved strain from Indiana, ma
tured in 1872 days; Virginia Golden
Dent in 1852 DAYS; Hickory King in
1856 days; Cookies Prolific in l75
days. Our experience with Vir-
GINA and western grown seed indi-
Gates that the climate has q deter
mining influence on the shape and
character Of the grain. Our climate
does not favor the development OF
a long deep grain with a rough
top 30 characteristics of the western
corn. This indicates very clearly
that Virginia farmers must under.
take the selection and improvement
of strains of western corn for them
selves and that they cannot use the
western grown product, except
possibly for foundation stock.
These varieties Of corn were plant
ed in checks 36.6 inches apart in
each direction which gave4OOO 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 8.5 per cent of bar
rem stalks in Blopnt's Prolific as
compared with 43.75 per cent in
Virginia Ensilage. There was l6 SO
per cent of barren stalks in Boone
County White and Hickory King;
1850 per cent in Virginia Golden
Dent and 90 per cent in Leaning.
Boone County White led In yield
with 5O35 bushels; Virginia COL
den Dent was second with 1850
bushels; Cookies Prolific third with
1892 bushels; Hickory King fourth
with 1885 bushels; Blount's Pro-
life fifth with 40.35 bushels; john
son County White sixth with 1916
bushels; and Leaning seventh with
81 81 bushels.
These are some of the best varie-
ties as revealed by one years inves-
LEGATIONS, and it is a question of
such 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 26 varieties grown side by
side varied from Is to so bushels,
the Importance of selecting and
improving strains Of corn adapted
to a given locality becomes APP
parent, and it is with the idea Of
emphasizing this point that the
above suggestions have been made.

Beauty The COurt-hOuSes.

We are informed bv our Bowling
Green correspondent that the SUI
peryisors of Caroline have appoint
ed a committee TO make repairs to
the courthouse, to have shade trees
set out in the square, and to en-
close the square with chain fence.
For several years the Times-Dls-
patch has been urging the Peep lie,
in the several counties to pay more
attention to the appearance oil their
public buildings. Since theSessartl-
Giles were begun, many OF the Vlr-
ginia counties have made improve
ments in that direction, and it Is
becoming the fashion to make the
courthouse and courthouse square
as attractive as possible. 1t is n
much needed reform and commend
able. Il adds to the dignity OF the
court SYSTEM and to the reverence
of the people to have an imposing
well kept courthouse, and every
snch courthouse spss IN example II
tidiness and ornamentation, which
is sure to exert all influence upon
the inhabitants Of the county. -

Nature has left ont little for our
supervisors to do, for the Highland
courthouse square is believed to be
one of the prettiest in the state.
While this is true, there is some
work badly needed and which

We refer to the painting of tn

Expectations Aroused by the Big
Shows Announcements Of SEN
sational Novelties.

So much has been said about the
coming Of the Barnum K Bailey cir
Gus that It would almost seem as
though further comment was super
nuous. Public interest has, however,
been aroused to an unusual degree,
and everything relating tq the big
show is read with zest. As already
repeatedly announced, the date in
this is city is Wednesday, Oct. 3, cor.
Third and Main streets, and that it
will be genuine old-time circus ell
eagement, with all its familiar crowds
and enthusiasm, there is no doubt.
The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth is recognized as the most
representative institution OF its kind
in the world, and those who have seen
the big show this year declare that it
not only equals its old records for up
to-date attractiyeness. but that in
many respects il surpasses in magni-
tude, scope and sensational novelty
anything eyer before offered even by
this circus of broadguage ideas.
This years performance, it is an
nounced, is to great extent a radical
departure from the programs OF other
years. Only the most sensational OF
last seasons features are said to have
been retained. The military and allie
gorical spectacle (which, under the
strikingly signi6ceht title, Peace

Risso-Japanese war in Manchuria and
