Don't Lay by Your Crop. Too soon

]. r. McLendon in Luverne Journal.
When the usual time for laying by
a crop comes most farmers have an
itching to quit work, and 1t is often
the case with many hard working ones
they lay by too soon
Corn and cotton is often cut short in
yield by not giving them another scrap
Ing to kill the small grass and weeds
which at this season begin to show
themselves all over the surface.
All farmers know the crop is late
this year. made so by too much rain
and want Of cultivation at the proper
time.
= Corn in roasting ear will not be hurt
by giving II shallow scraping pro-
vided the work is not over one inch
deep and where there are cowpeas in
the drill a shallow working win dou-
BILE the yield over that not so treated
corn delights in a clean, level soil in
which TO do its best in seeking plant
food. Cotton may be kept green and
growing by shallow and clean culture
for a much longer time than by lay
ing by early In July.
Where a farmer did not waste large
part of his fertilizer before he planted
his cotton seed, but saved at least half
of 1t to put on now, may pillow his cot
ton with safety until at least middle
of August and perhaps longer.
This has been a very peculiar year
and the farm n ought to change his
methods TO suit the situation, as no
two years ever have or ever Will be
exactly alike.
BY all means go over the cotton
fields with hoe and scrape until the
grass is all killed. Never think for a
moment that a bunch of grass now and
then will help to make the cotton grow
larger, for It is a fact that the food
taken by the grass is just that much
taken from the cotton.
If cotton Is to. be worth Is cents a
pound this fall. we should grow every
boil possible for looking over the
prospect today, I am almost sure some
Of us at least will need more cotton
this year than we will make under
the most favorable conditions. Broth
er farmer don't lay by too soon, don't
be afraid to kill all the grass. dig up
the weeds and let the corn and cotton
have all the plant food there is In the
soil for 7 am sure they need 1t.

THE LATE MRS.
 ROGERS WILL
Friendly Suit Over Its Terms-Colleges Do Not Fulfil Conditions.

John A. Agar of New York, and Ra- chel L. Durgy of New Haven, execu- tors under the will of the late Cornelia H. B. Rogers of this city. have started friendly suit in the civil Superior court against Marion Perkins of New York, Samuel Rogers of this city. Yale University, Vassar College, and the towns of Monroe and New Fairfield. It will be remembered that the testa- trix left considerable property in this city and Brooklyn. Her property in Brooklyn was obtained by bidding on back-taxed property which was never claimed and which by law came into her hands. The Legislature of the State of New York in it's Brooklyn Arrears Acts outlawed all these claims. In her will she fbequeathed large sums of money to Yale University and Vas sar College, providing that they take up the fight aga inst the State of New York. Since the will was probated they have failed to do so.
 She also drew up two codicils to the will in case her fight was not taken up by the two colleges. in which she naned the citizens of the county of Fairfield as beneficiaries. The suit as filed in the court this morning is friendly, as the executors wish to be relieved of a great deal of trouble in the matter as they wish the defen- dants to set up their claims and have them decided upon by the court. Dep uty Sheriff Peter Doolan served the papers on all the defendants.

TROLLEY co. WON Passenger Stepped from Car While It Was In Motion.

The jury in the case of Elizabeth Younes. colored, of this city against the Connecticut Company returned a verdict this morning in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff claims that she was injured by stepping of a moving trolley car on Stratford Ave nue near Drew Place. She had sig naled the conductor to stop the car, who in turn gave the signal to the mo- torman: the car had passed two white poles without stopping, and the plain tiff, thinking the car would still go on, aiighted. She was thrown heavily to the ground. wrenching her back and bruising her head. She claim ed that ever since the accident she has been suffering with severe headaches. The doctors who were called to the stand, claimed that her injuries were not ser ious. The defendant company set up the claim that the plaintiff had disre- garded a rule of the company by step ping from the car while it was in mo- ton. Judge Edwin B. Gager dismissed the jury after the trial till May 4.
