Corn VS. Wheat.

Because of the comparatively
large profit in the corn crop and
the certainty of some return, we
have had for several years past an
excess in the corn acreage which
has resulted in a general reduction
in yield and injury to the ground
by continuous cropping. The ac-
cess in corn acreage can also be
accounted for in the fact that the
depreciation of the chinch bug and
Hessian fly a few years ago caused
our farmers to lose interest in the
wheat crop. Also very few men
have stopped to figure the cost of
production of the two crops and
the returns from each.
From many figures the cost Of
producing an acre of corn is ap-
proXimately SIP and wheat So per
acre. The average production of
wheat in this State for rhe last five
years has been l27 ou5heI per acre
and corn 307 bushels per acre. The
average price Of wheat during the
same period has been IS cents and
corn A cents per 5uShel At these
prices the value OF an acre OF wheat
has been S1092 and an ofcorn S1492
which leaves a profl, when the
cost OF production is taken out, of
S2.95 per acre for wheat, and S242
t)r corn, showing thar, as a money
crop the wheat growers Of this State
nave really made more money
han those growing corn. The
profit in either case is little enough
t is true, and could be greatly in
'reaSed by growing a rotation of
'ropS rather than either of those
continuously.
At the Missouri Station, the two
Methods of cropping have been
thoroughly compared and in the
'aSt twenty years those plots grow
ng corn continuously have hardly
aid expenses while those growing
orn in rotation with other crops
reduced S02 per cent more than
he continuous cropping ones. Wheat
ields increased 2S.4 per cent dur
lg the same time due to rotation

game. MIR. Miller was always with
the plays and rendered his decisions
with fairness.
In view of the fact that both
teams were made up Of almost en-

surprisingly good.
In the first hali the home boys
played rings around the visitors in

ran the score " 10 II TO 0 in favor

more closely contested, however
and the score stood unchanged at

Where Life Is Saved by Quick
Work With Stomach Pump.

A young woman giving her name as
Mary Scott Wilkerson. her age as twen-
ty-two years. and her address as 34O6
10th street northeast caused a ripple OF
excitement in the building occupied by
the Medical School Of the George Wash

west, this morning by calmly announc-
ing she had taken poison and that she
would be dead in few minutes.
She lapsed into Inconsistencies before
one of the physicians from the hospital
building could reach her. An ambulance
was summoned and the young woman
was hurried to the Emergency Hospital
The stomach pump was applied without
delay and the patient was soon on the
road to recovery.
It was stated at the medical school
that the woman had been there from time
to time to see Frank Jannier. who is en-

she was on the operating table at the
