A Profitable Corn Field
Two Hundred and Twenty
three Bushels of Corn and
Seventy Bushels of Peas
From -Four Acres of Land
4 How 1T Was Done.

Two hundred and twenty three
bushels OF corn from four acres
in single crop is not anything
to boast OF; yet, to say the least
OF 1t, one is due some credit when
this yield was made on land
that eight years ago only made
81 bushels per acre, and that
considered an excellent yield for
the land. To one is due more
credit when this increase has
been made without any com
nercial or homemade fertilizer
being applied TO the laud from
the time the yield was 124 bush
els on four acres until the pre-.
Sent. This splendid increase
has been produced by subs0iling
the land three times during the
period of S years, the last sub
soiliug was done for corn crop that
made 223 bushels. This sub.
soiling reached the depth of is
inches.
We also followed a rotation of
corn with cowpeas sown alone at
last blowing at the rate OF Il
bushels per acre, or with ten
pounds of crimson clover and
one bushel of cow peas per acre
the last plowing of corn. Corn
followed by cotton, crimson clov.
er in cotton land, fifteen pounds
to the acre at last blowing, or
rye a close of cotton harvest.
Cotton followed by second crop
Irish potatoes with cowpeas sown
in spring preceding potato plant
ing in August; after potato har.
vest, crimson clover at the rate
OF lSto 20 pounds per acre.
This is the rotation followed that
brought about the increase in
yield. OF course the subsoiling
must receive a large part of the
credit.
HOW THE LAND WAS PREPARED.
In preparing the land for corn
heavy crop of crimson clover
WIS turned and land subsoiled
to eighteen inches. This Was
done In April. In May, land
was cut twice with twenty.inch
disc harrow, narrowed several
times with smoothing harrow
ana planted to corn on May 18th.
The corn was dropped III drills

Miss Ethel keir.

This girl came to me to see if she
needed glasses. She had been in poor
health for over year and had lost
great deal of valuable time during the
previous year of school. found on ex-
animation that she had high degree
of hymermetropia or far sight and the
rays of light were reaching the optic
nerve before being brought to focus
and caused constant strain on the
delicate muscles OF the eye and great
loss Of nervous force. | had pair of
special lenses made for her and she has
worn them now for over two years and
has never missed days school on ac-
count of her eyes. This is only one of
many similar cases that we have re-
lieved permanently.
If your boy or girl complains Of
blurred visions, Of reading tireing the
eyes, bring them to us, we will tell you
what the trouble is and correct it. No
tice those wrinkles in the forehead or
between the eyebrows? They are the
index to eye strain, cramped muscles
and wasted nervous energy. If you
wear pair of our crystal lenses they
will relieve that strain and loss of nerve
force and those old wrinkles on their
young foreheads will soon disappear.
Respectfully yours,

LOCAL OPTION.

Both houses of the Legislature have
passed the local option bill and it
will undoubtedly be approved by
Governor Brady. 1t is not the one
we published before, but one we will
publish next week. 1t is simply an
enabling act providing the means by
which people Of each county may call
elections to deal with the liquor
question aside from everything else.
It also provides penalties severe
enough to make 1t troublesome
thing to violate 1t, and ii Its enforce
ment drives few people out OF the
county. 1t will make room for as
many others to enter. The election
will involve considerable expense; but
it gives people better chance to
register their wishes on a very trou-
blesome matter and then have the
will of the majority observed.
There are and will be all kinds Of
predictions as to consequences Of en-
forcing such a law, but predictions
are cheap and experience will be the
truest measure Of merit.

LEGISLATORS HERE.

"A committee from the legislature
was here Tuesday to inspect the
Idaho asylum. A committee Of
4 North Idaho people inspected the in
situations in the southern part of the
state. and South Idaho people went
to the north for inspection there.
Those that came to inspect the insti-
tutions at Albion, Pocatello, Black
foot and st. Anthony were represen-
tatives G. A. Foresman, Ell. M. Bangs,
J. M. Willoughby, Senators Davis,
w. L. Goodnight, Mr.. Martin and
wife, and Miss Heise, stenographer.
The Republican writer accom-
panied the committee half day on
their inspection, and found them
wide awake and disposed to investi-
gate thoroughly. They talked with
patients and attendants freely, and
often expressed surprise at the close
attention given to the details of work
in every department.
Everything seemed In about the
usual condition that we have seen it
in on other occasions when we hap
pened in.
DR.. Hoover, the medical superin-
tendent, asked the committee for an
appropriation of $4,000 to build a
barn, of which he has the plans and
specifications ready, and he showed
that 1T would be profitable invest
ment as 1t would save much waste
and expense, and give much better
protection to stock, produce and ma
chinery.
A number of business men and
their wives went to the institution in
the evening to meet the members of
the committee.
