DOES cllMArE cHAMeEa

An inspection of meteorological rec

the past fifty years seems to give lit
tie encouragement to the theory that
the breaking up of the soil in those sec
tons and the growing th .reon of titled
crops tend to increase the actual
amount Of rainfall from year to year
The most that can be fairly said seems
to be that tillage Of the soil In Sec

question that mellow soil and growing
crops serve to reduce somewhat the

increase their capacity to absorb mois-

HOW II WAS CROWN.

When one reads of an exceptional
yield Of grain or corn an interest very
naturally attaches TO the methods fol-
lowed in producing it. For this reason
those who have read the previous ref
erenee in these notes TO the authenti-
Gated yield Of 154 bushels of corn Sc
cured from a single acre by John Sund-
berg will be interested in knowing how
it was grown. The ground on which
this fine yield was produced was sec

acre and a half were chosen in the rich
est part of the field. one acre being laid
out for the actual test. The grower
figured out in advance just how many
plants he would have to have to pro-
duce $50 bushels at harvest. To this
were added sufficient number of kerr
nels to make up for those that for one
cause or another would fail to pro-
duce ears. He planted the corn early

measured and the corn weighed in the
presence of a justice of the peace. The
variety planted was Reid's Yellow Dent
1t is interesting TO note in connection
with this yield that 1t was just about
six times the average yield per acre
for corn the country over. 1t is worth
remembering. too. that. in addition to
using the finest pure bred seed obtain

A French gentleman who had been

this long intimacy had made him IA

upon the events with which he had
been mixed up. Worried with ques-

he knew nothing, but the questioners
would not be satisfied and returned to
the charge.

confidant; ''Fll tell you peculiar and
