To substantiate the charges the city OF

NE IN regard to seed selection, cultivat-
ingfi fertilizing, etc, will be appreciated.
The corn crop, as you probably know,
Fields very readily TO selection. For this
reason we would advise you to secure a
good strain of improved seed as nearly
adapted to your local conditions as posi-
bic to commence with. If there is no i'm
proved corn in your community. we would
sdvise you to use one Of the so-called
urolific strains. The Marlboro has given
use good satisfaction here. Other strains
similar to this are the Hastings Prolific.
Rockdale. Cookies Prolific, Hosby's Pro-
life, etc In our experience a corn that
makes two ears per stalk of moderate
size has given better yields than va
rieties which produce a single large ear.
The selection of your seed is therefore
an important matter. You should use
only that which has been tested careful
". and may be relied on to give you a
form stand. We would plant this corn
SO as to have about 1000 stalks per acre.
If you wish to secure an extra good crop
of corn, it is necessary to have vegetable
matter in the soil. This may be secured
in one of several ways, as by blowing UNI
der green leguminous crops. In the alb
sence of these, farmyard manure or
compost should be literally used at the
rate of at least two tons per acre, and
five would be better. We would put this
compost under the drill row in view of
the comparatively small amount of vege-
cable matter in our Georgia soils.
Corn is a vigorous growing plant and
therefore draws heavily on the food con-
stituents of the soil, and heavy fertlli-
cation for this crop is adivasble. We
would suggest that you use under the
corn high-grade fertilizer, at least
1898 if your land is red clay, and a
1854 if it is somewhat sandy. We would
use at least 500 pounds of this fertilizer
per acre, either with or without the COM
post suggested OF course, where you
have the compost better results may be
anticipated, and in an ordinary season
will be secured. If you have no vegeta-
BILE matter, you will probably ind II ie-
sira BILE to top dress the corn with nitrate
of soda when il is beginning to shoot
into tassel From 100 to 200 pounds should
be used. We rather favor two applica-
tons Of 100 pounds each, one put on prev
ious to the tasseling period, and the sec
ond Just at this stage. Corn should be
planted on the level in ground that has
been deeply and thoroughly broken and
we'll prepared with a disk, so as to put
tin a fine and friable condition. 1t
should be planted in rows 4 to Alp feet
apart, depending on the fertility of the
land and we prefer to use an edge-drop
planter to put the corn down about Is
inches apart in the drill row. This impie-
ment will only prove satisfactory, how
ever, where high-grade and tested seed
is used. We would then use a two-horse
cultivator and work the soil shallow
throughout the season. Cultivation should
be persisted i'm until the crop is made,
and the crop is not made until after the
ear is properly developed

Breakdown at Ice Plant

Yesterday morning about 8
o'clock a breakdown occurred at the
ice plant which will put that insti-
tuition out of business for a few days
at least. The accident was caused
by the supports of large water
tank, which supplied the boilers,
giving way. The tank came crash
ing down through the roof, break
ing the heavy timbers which sup
ported it as though they were
straws and flooding the entire
building. Houston Williams and
Ben Gschwend, who we're in the
building, were in great danger, but
luckily escaped without injury.
Mr.. Williams says he thinks they
can arrange to run the light plant
without any cessation, but that it
will be some time before they will
be able to make ice again.

Morning at the Home Of the

PICKETT WAS HELD WITHOUT BAIL

"Come and get me, | have killed
George Keeney," was the message
received over the telephone
Wednesday night about eight
o'clock by Hunter Perrin, deputy
sheriff. Further conversation reveal
ed the tact that the man who sent
the message was Charles Pickett,
who has been making his home with
George Keeney, who resides on the
Mack farm, located about eleven
mile from Pocahontas on the Black
Rock road.
Mr.. Perrin hastily deputlzed d.

tive of the Star Heard Immediately
left for the scene, arriving there
about IL o'clock.
They found the message to be
true and Mr.. Keeney was laying
cool in death about twenty feet
from his house, where he had been
struck down with scantl.ng after
which his body had been turned
over and his head almost severed
from the body.
Charles Pickett, who had sent the
message, was questioned as to why
he committed the deed and his ans
wer was about as follows:

ing to go to bed and his wife want

been drinking and commenced to

WOMAN ALLEGES
CHILDREN KIDNAPPED
Goes to Church and on Return
Children cannot be Found.
Legal Investigation
now on

Last Friday night, tits said, while
Mrs. Annie Smith and the members
of the family of James Smith, the
latter living near the Cain Spring
four miles west of town, were at
tending religious services at church
near there, four children of Mrs.
Smith were kidnapped by their
father and a gentleman whose name
we now withhold from the public.
Mrs. Smith and her husband have
been living separate and apart, her
home being at Bald Knob, and her
husband had induced her to bring
the children here ostensibly for a
visit to their kindred, with the re-
suit of the kidnapping above detail
ed. The children were taken in a
wagon from that place through
town during the night of Friday
and carried, as it is said, to Walnut
Ridge, the conveyance of the
gentleman whose name is withheld
being used by him for that purpose.
Legal steps will be taken to have
the matter investigated.
