Depth at Which TO Plant Corn.

The result of several years
work by the Department of Agri-
culture have demonstrated the
impossibility of outlinig a nmeth-
cd of culture that will give the
highest yield of corn per acre
during all seasons. During the
dry season of 1909, the average
results in a number of tests
showed a gain of 4.66 bushels
per acre by planting corn > or 6
inches below the general level u
the ground. Of 48 tests of deep
planting and surface planting, &c
tests produced best by deep
planting against II by level
planting. For sections subject to
dry weather during July and
August deep planting is consid-
cred advisable. The burrows in
which the young plants are grow
ing should not be filled so as to
level the ground until the root
system of plants is well est&I-
lished.

A Question.

Canton voted out saloons, yes and
by a large majority. But can these
same voters that kept the saloons out
of our little city keep the evil of
bootlegging out? 1t is not %unfrequent
to see some young lei intoxicated
and boistrous. Where do they get the
LIQUOR? Are there men in our city
who will wilfully sell booze TO young
men, or is there an organized gang OF
bootleggers, in other words, men who
hide behind the wall Of responsibility
and deal out whiskey around the
corner to young men to have their
manhood slowly saped from them,
making drunkards of once promising
young men. Where are the men who
fought so hard against saloons and
now stand idly by and see these con-
ditions day by day. There had better
be no Canton than to have whiskey
delt out to Canton's young men in an
underhanded way, robbing them OF
their morals and all sense OF decency.
This bootlegging breeds contempt for
law and honesty, 1t gives a wrong
idea as to how justice is delt out.
Canton had better start to clean
house now before 1t is to late.-VOter
