alderman IIyier's Fine COrn--
HOU it sCds Planted and Cut
filnfPI

tjUated.
Alderman w. B. Plyler brought
us Saturday some sample stalks
of his fine field of corn in the SUI
burbS of town, mention OF which
has been made in The News a
time or two. In The Lancaster
correspondence of the News and
Courier, in Mondays issue, the
following reference is made to
Capt. Plyler's corn:
alderman w. B. Plyler, of
Lancaster, who is one of the
largest planters in this part of
the State, owning valuable plan
tations in this, York and Ches-
terfield counties, has a field of
corn in the suburbs of town on
which he has experimental this
year. He does not own the field,
having rented it from colored
woman. It contains twenty
acres, and the land is of average
quality only. The first thing he
did to the soil was to "break it
up" to the depth OF eighteen in
ches, using two horse plough
drawn by couple of heavy,
stout mules. This was followed
by thorough narrowing. The
land was then prepared for plant
ing, the rows being made five
feet apart and the corn planted
a foot apart in the drill. A light
application OF commercial ferii-
ljzers was made at the time of
planting, only about 100 pounds ;
to the acre. The corn was plant
ed on the 18th day of May, and
in less than two months the crop
was "laid by" the plant having
become too rank to admit of fur
lher cultivation. The corn was
plougned or worked only three
times. Fertilizer was applied
during cultivation, but not ex
ceeding 300 pounds to the acre
were used altogether, including
the application at the time of
planting.
The field now presents the APP
pearance of rich river bottom
corn. The stalks contain from
two 10 four large, well-deveIoped
ears, an unusually large per cent.
Of them bearing four ears each.
There are apparently more stalks
with three ears than with two.
Careful estimates place the pros
pective yield at fifty bushels to
! the acre."

SHARP BREAK In STOCKS
Rumor That Southern RaiI~ay and
Erie VIII Make Bond Issues

Much excitement in the financial district was oc-
,ssIoned yesterday by sharp break in stocks Tho
Offices Of commission brokers Were filed during the
hours of trading at the Stock Exchange with anx-
,ous customers. and all of reports were in cir
rulation evidence of the anxiety
Southern Railway and Erie stocks were the chief
s,rrerers, and they were known in the street as
Morgan stocks much of the gossip about the break
related 10 J. P. Morgan and the roads in whicl, he
was known 10 be interested. There was a r1rnor
that Mr. Morgan who had not been at his Wall
street office recently, seriously ILL., but that was
disproved by his presence in apparent good health
st a meeting OF the New York Central board at the
Grand Central Station in the afternoon
Among the reports which Were neither disproved
nor confirmed were those that the Southern Rail-
way and the Erie arrangements intended to issue
bonds notes for many millions to carry out need
ed improvements. Well informed brokers said they
,bought issue of Southern Railway notes to the
amount Of $50 100000 might be expected soon 1t WAS
said also that the passing of the regular dividend
on the preferred stock of the Southern Railway as
well as a note issue, was foreshadowed by a state
ment put out by President Finley.
President Finley's statement told of increased
business for the Southern Railway and Increased
Industrial development in the South, but said the
Increased business of the road called for the extern
sion of facilities and for Improvements which were
costly, adding significantly:
One Of the greatest needs of the South is that its
railroads should have additional track capacity No
