BOYS CORN CLUB
ORGANIZED.
SATISFACTORY INITIAL MEETING SATUR-
DAY-PROf HARPER GIVES VALUABLE
POINTERS ORGANIZATION.


Notwithstanding the severe wealth
er quite number of boys, farmer
and other business men met in th'
court house on last Saturday 70!
the purpose of organizing Boys
Corn club for this county.
Prof j n Harper, director of thu
Experiment Station work of Glenn
son College, was introduced by
Superintendent of Education Nc
Cullough and occupied an hour III
speaking with boys and farmer;
about the selection of corn seed
the preparation of the soil, fertilizer;
and cultivation.
Prof Harper's talk was full to tee
brim of what our farmers need tc
know, and it is unfortunate that
all our boys could no. have heard
him.
The selection and improvement
of the seed is of vital Importance.
For long time the improvement
of stock by proper breeding mas
been recognized, but the proper
selection and breeding of our seed S
is comparatively recent matter,
He woald not advise the boys to
depend on seed houses for their
seed corn, because corn does not al
ways do we'll frcm seed grown at a
distance. Rather procure seed from
some one in the county who has
good corn, and try TO improve it by
proper selection. Corn needs an
abundance of moisture, and the
surest way to procure it Is deep
ploughing and thorough preparation
of the soil, anil an abundance of
humus. Such a soil rarely suffers
for want of ram.
Corn feeds largely on phosphori C
acid, but in its latter growth is
an abundant feeder on nitrogen.
1t needs very little nitrogen until
it begins to tassel. He therefore
advises fertllizing with acid phos-
phate and muriate of potash at
planting time, and giving side ap-
phcations of eotton-seed meal, and
still later using abou: 200 pounds
of..nitrate of soda: 500 pounds acid
phosphate, 400 pounds cotton seed
meal, 100 pounds muriate potash
would be a good preparation, using
a. much as desired aud in ad-
dition the top dressing of 200 pounds
of nitrate of soda.
After Prof Harper's talk the
Superintendent of Education oganiz-
ed the Boys' Corn club, consisting
of the following boys:
Lake City-William ] Gaskins,
Eugene Evans, Willie Fitch, James
DeBerry, Carlton Fitch.
Cades-Belton Clark, Gilbert
Sauls, William L McElveen.
Cowards-Nelson Cause.
Benson-William NJ McCrea ,
Marvin Mccullough, Jack Nc
Cullough, Will Mccullough.
Salters-Bill Bryan.
Carlton Fitch was elected presi-
dent and Jack Mccullough secretary
and treasurer of the organization.
The Superintendent of Education
stated that he was assured of a
liberal fund for prizes, and that
probably six or eight prizes would

MISSION BAND
Will Have For its New Director Rev
James M. Reardon of St. Paul
Seminary.
Priests in Charge of Work Give Miss
ions Wherever their Services
Are Sought

The Diocesan Mission Band Is to
have for it's new Director Rev. James
M. Reardon of ST. Paul Seminary.
Rt Rev. Joseph F. Busch, Bishop of
Lead, S. D., was the founder and for
mer Director of this society.
The Diocesan Mission Band was es-
tablished seven years ago for the pur-
pose Of giving missions in the par
ishes of the Archdiocese of st. Paul.
1t has met with gratifying success in
its work-so much so that it's serv-
ices have. been sought by many pas
tors outside the limits of the Arch
diocese. Its work has not been con-
fined solely TO the giving of missions
to Catholics. 1t has gone into local..
ties where Catholics are few, or where
no organized Catholic parish exists,
and preached Catholic truth to those
who desired full and accurate knowl-
edge of the doctrines and practices of
the Church. In connection with the
work among non-Catholics it has dis
tributed a large amount of Catholic
Neutrality-suspicious. and books con-
tanning simple and clear eXpositions of
the principal dogmas of faith. In this
way it has done much to remove pref
udice grounded on ignorance or mis-
conception of the teachings of the
Catholic religion.
The diocesan priests to whom this
work is entrusted devote their time
exclusively to it. They are prepared
to give missions from September to
July inclusive, and pastors who desire
their services during the coming year
are requested to make application to
them at the Catholic Mission House,
Excelsior, MINI. 1t is advisable that
applications be made as early as pos
sible in order that the program of mis-
sions for next year may be completed
before September. This will facilitate
the work of the missionaries and go
far to insure the success of their la
bors.

Though Switzerland is having cold.

Is mounting high already. In many parts
of the mountains there have been excep-
tionaI storms for the time of year. with
the result that several parties of visiting
climbers have been swept away by ava
lanches. But the alluring edeiweiss re-
mains the most fatal attraction of the
summer tourist.

for his own. Sometimes he succeeds in
the quest, only to fall as he returns,
sometimes a loose stone trusted for a
foothoid slips away. and the end Is deep
down in the rayine below.
One by one the edelweiss claims its
victims till the total is higher than that
