LAYOUT FOR ENTRANCE
 TO MOHEGAN PARK.
Will Leave Washington Street from Point North of the William Tubbs Property and Follow a Winding Course.

The layout for the entrance into Mohegan park from Washington street, as submitted to the executive committee of the court of common council on Monday evening, is over land which has been deeded to the city and leaves Washington street at a point just north of the William Tubbs property. It follows a somewhat wind ing and picturesque course easterly, but at the end of the present layout it aims north at distance of about a quarter of a mile from Washington street and near the golf course.
 Leaving Washington stret it runs east to the foot of the hill turning then to the rightNand later to the left with a reverse ringing it out out be a gravel one, and there will be humber of bank walls with consider able cutting and filling to be done. At different points along the road it will be fifty feet wide, while al others it will be 100. Where the layout stops will not mean the end of the road. but so much of it as it is believed should be built this year, the remainder to be completed next year
 Having come before the executive committee, action can be taken on the layout at the next meeting of the council. and with their approval work. it is believed, will be started on the end near the golf grounds and come in the direction of Washington street instead of starting at the street and working in. This will mean that when Washington street is reached the road will be ready for use, whereas if it is started at the street first the public will be using it more or less and be- come subject to the dangers of an un- finished road.
 For a week Supt Duff had a num- Der of men at work with him ih the park on the road from the main high way around the west side of the park. 11eY% CS,,kr- -fIsaxr and the remainder of the construction work for the year will be put on the new entrance.
 Very large numbers are visiting the park daly and larger crowds on Sun day. Supt. Duff is keeping it looking bright and attractive for the visitors.

 The service drives are not within I5 feet of any building, while there will be drives for visitors so that they can drive about the grounds and not come near the buildings. The main ap- proach will be made effective with red cedar trees, also catalpa trees, which are now in bloom and summer blos- soming lilac, which has a white flower and green foliage. There will be a triple line of such decorations along each side of the main walk As none of these are tall they will not shut off a view of the buildings from the walk. There will also be walks through the woods at theElback, and it is probable a pavilion will be erected at the back having good view of the river.
 The most of the trees will b over the drives, while there will be flower beds and shrubbery placed at different points.
 The architects have suggested us ing the subways which connect the several buildings as places to erect arbors on which vines and grapes could be grown, and at the saime time furnish shade and shelter from the sum- It is also possible two fountains will be placed in the courts at the back of the buildings.
 At the nurses cottages, which will be erected this summer, the porches will be arranged so as to have com manding view of the woods and reser- voir with the trees and shrubs placed about there, so that when off duty their minds will be attracted from their work.
 It is also planned in time to make the waiting station look more attrac- tive by covering it with vines and lat tices, giving it the appearance of an English matched cottage. This work will not all be accomplished this year. but will be taken up gradually and when completed will make some of the most attractive grounds herea- bouts.

mixed evil. This Is especially the
case where the deep cultivation more
efectually kills the weeds and grass.
Furthermore, In wet weather deep

Why Corn Fires. h
Many a crop OF corn fails to pro-
duce as much as 1t promised, or as
much as the grower expected. be-
cause OF conditions indicated by
what Is termed firing" t"@f
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette., 1910-04-23

Firing may be due to a variety
of conditions, but the essential fac
tor is lack of moisture. Too heavy
fertilization with materials which be-
come exhausted before the plants
have completed their growth; too
thick planting; large applications of
coarse stable manure, etc., are re-
sponsible for the firing of the corn,
only when the supply of moisture
falls below the large amount which
these conditions make necessary to
the continued growth of the corn.
A crop of corn that is stimulated
to large growth by heavy fertiliza-
ton and abundant moisture con-
tinues to require larger amount of
moisture to develop the larger
growth Of stalks which the early
stimulation produced. When the
water supply falls below the needs of
this large succulent growth the corn
fires" In the same way corn plant
ed thick develops large growth of
plants per acre and requires large
water supply as well as large sup
ply Of plant food. When this water
supply falls below the needs Of the
plants they fire. :" Large quantities
of stable manure not only stimulate
large growth of stalks which re-
Quire a large supply of water; but
the manure. if coarse or applied too
late in the season before planting
may so loosen up the soil as to cause
It to dry out so that the plants suffer
for lack Of water and fire"
An over supply Of plant food, par
ticularly Of nitrogen if in readily
soluble form may, when moisture is
sufficient, stimulate large growth
of stalk. II the supply of plant food
available becomes exhausted, the
plants may suffer more on account
of the early succulent growth and
the sudden exhaustion of the plant
foods, and firing" results; but this
seldom occurs unless the water sup
Iply also becomes deficient.
II any mistakes have been made
before planting the corn, it is nov
Itoo late to entirely correct them; bu
much may yet be done to lessen tn,
bad effects. The three things mos
Ineedful are to keep the grass anG
weeds down; to avoid cutting corn
roots as far as possible, especially in
dry weather; and to pulyerize the
surface soil after each rain or when
ever a crust forms.9~, uFa3uze.

HoW1TOJ DOUBLE YOUR CORN YIELDS
VIII.-THE GREAT NEED OF MOISTURE-WHY
CORN FIRES.
BY TAFT Butler.

~N VEN THOUGH our rainfall Is
lT heavy, the corn crop frequent
o6 ly suffers for lack OF mois-
ture. In fact. lack OF moisture at
some time during its growth is prob
ably more often n cause OF do
creased corn yield than an excess OF
moisture. On uplands. or those with
fair surface drainage. this is certain
~ the case. An amount OF water
equal TO from 10 10 inches deep
over the entire surface OF n corn
field may. during the season, be
taken up by the roots and evaporated
through the leaves back into tho at
mosphere. In eastern North Caro-
lima is a county in which the surface
OF the ground Is so. near the, level OF
the sea that water is always in reach
Of the corn roots. This county Is
noted for It's large crops OF corn
Similar conditions and results are
frequently seen along river and lake
banks.
Why We Cultivate

turo conditions could be regulated TO

conditions which have most Innu-
ence in regulating soil moisture can
