Improving Corn.

Realizing that the improvement of
corn is a matter of concern to every
agricultural practitioner, because of the
wide adaptability and general cultiva-
ton of the cereal, the Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has publish
ed in a bulletin of nearly 100 pages
the results of experiments in that field
In a general introduction the bulletin
says:
Investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant is quickly affected
by the environment in which it is
placed and yields readily to selection,
so that the way for Improvement is
open to all who will make a systematic
study of this important crop The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted
in the development of numberleSS so
called varieties or strains, and it is
manifestely impossible to effect perma-
nent Improvement in any of these with
out first understanding their individual
peculiarities and the good and bad
points possessed by each.
Conservation leans to the belief that
the indiscriminate crossing of plants
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde-
sirable varieties and the thousands Of
useless individuals is a waste of time.
and that more permanent good can be
effected by making a basic study of va
rieties, rejecting all those that do not
reach a definite standard, and then pro-
ceeding to Systematically improve
those that seem worthy of extended
consideration"

it is not in use. The dotted line in

INVESTIGATOR UNEARTH FIVE
BODIES ON FARM NEAR
LAPORTE.
Mrs. Bella Guinness, Who Died With
Children in Blazing Home, Ac-
cused of Killing Nine Persons. An
Awful Mystery.

Laporte, Ind, May 6.-That Mrs.
Bella Guinness was responsible for at
least five, and probably seven, deaths
before she and her three children
were incinerated in the fire which de-
destroyed her home one week ago, is
theory now held by the local authori-
ties who are attempting to solve the
puzzle of a barnyard burying ground
found on her pretty firm one mile
north of this city.
Their first impressions to this effect
were strengthened when Roy LAM
phere was told this evening of the
days gruesome discoveries.
"My God, five bodies! What
wouldn't that woman dol" exclaimed
Lamphere, who. is awaiting grand
jury action on q charge of first de-
gree murder.
The dim lighting of the cell in
which he has been confined since his
arrest following the fatal fire revealed
the spasm of horror, shaded with re-
lief, which crossed his features.
The task of accounting for nine and
possibly eleven violent deaths con-
fronts the officials at Laporte. In adj
dition to the five bodies discovered to-
day and the four charred corpses re-
vealed by a search of the ruined house,
there are two husbands of the dead
woman, both of whom died under Cir
cumstances that aroused suspicion.
/. L. Sorenson, whose name the
woman bore when she first appeared
in Laporte. eight years ago, died in
Chicago so suddenly that on the de-
mand of relatives his corpse was ex-
humed and examined for traces OF
poison.

YEGGMEN INVADE FARGO
A Street Car Crew Held Up and
Robbed at Pistols Poinl.

Fargo, N. D., May ga safe blown,
streetcar held up and robbed and a
residence entered is a summary of
crimes committed in Fargo the past
twenty-four hours. There is every
indication that an exceptionally des-
perate gang has invaded the city.
Most daring was the robbery of a
street car at the terminal of the Sa-
cred Heart academy line at 1870 p.
m. The robbers sprang from among
some trees when Conductor Carlson
was swinging his trolley pole for the
return trip. Only the company's
money was demanded, the watches
and valuables of the crew being
passed. A total of $3.50 was secured.
One of the robbers took command
of the car, with cooked revolver in
hand, and commanded the crew to
run towards the city two blocks. He
then jumped off, while another robber
disappeared in the opposite direction.
