Corn Suckers.

An Iowa correspondent writer:
do suckers on corn damage it
anc will it pay to pull them off?
l have always pulled them of,
thinking that they took more or
less nourishment from the main
stalk. Some claim that it does
not pay to sucker because that
when the stalk requires what the
sucker is using it all goes back to
the stalk. Will you tell why
corn suckers and if the suckers
do any damage?"
1t rarely pays to sucker corn.
In a very dry season like the
present man may occasionally
get pay for his work in removing
suckers. In an ordinarily wet
season, however, the yield of
corn may be lowered many BUSH
els by the removal of suckers. In
Nebraska experiment conducted
during the years of 1913 and 1894
it was found that corn with the
suckers left on outyielded that
with the suckers removed at the
rate of twenty bushels per acre
for the first year and fourteen
bushels per acre for the second.
The experimental suggested that
the reason for the greater yield
of unsuckered corn was the fact
that many of the suckers pro-
duced ears.
The commoneSt cause of suck.
ers is a thin stand. Experiments
universally prove this. With 4
stand of only one stalk to the
hill there will be produced suck.
ers at the rate of as high as 300
per 100 stalks while with stand
of four stalks to the hill there
often will be scarcely any suck
ers. But even with a good stand
a great many suckers are some.
times produced because of the
richness of the land or the abun.
ance of moisture. Also it is un-
doubtedly true that some varie-
ties sucker more than others. In
other words, suckering is an I'M
herited characteristic which de-
ponds largely for its development
OH conditions of soil, wether, and
lack of crowding by other corn
plants.
Field studies of suckers indi.
cate that they do not draw very
heavily upon the mother plants
for food since very soon after
they are started roots of their
own develop. OF course some In.
Jury to the mother plants comes
about because of crowding, but
in the ordinarily wet season this
is more than counterbalanced BY
of ears yielded BY the
suckers. Practically all of the
suckers are formed by the time
corn is two feet high; cousequent-
" if suckering is practiced, It Is
desirable to take off the suckers
much earlier in the life of the
corn plant than is generally fol-
lowed. We believe, however, that
the work spent in suckering corn
can in almost all instances Be
spent to better advantage else
where. -Wallace's Farmer.

THE DOCTOR
GAVE AWAY
PROFESSION
UNITED Press LEASED w1RE.l

London, May 4.-The Institute Of
Hygiene had banquet the other ev-
enlng. 1t was quite a formal ban
quet, and the result was that sever
al of the hygenists present inclined
somewhat to criticize it, as not ex-
actly the kind of banquet that hy-
genists ought to eat. So many
courses, they argued, were unnec-
essary, and put premium on over
consumption.
Whereat, at the close of the meal,
up rose DR.. ]. Strickland Goodall
and told the banqueters some plain
truths. Course dinners, he said, are
not unhygenic-they are scientific
demonstrations. "The hors dioeuv-
res" the doctor continued, stimulate
the gustatory mechanism apd start
the secretion Of saliva and gastric
and pancreatic juices. Olives clean
the mouth. Soup has little nutritive
value, but is rich in gastric excitors
A free flow of juices is thus insured
for the fish, a food rich in proteid
The entree, by name. appearance and
taste, secures a flow of juice to di.
gest the joint and game-true foods
The saUory maintains the flow. Sweets
and dessert, with their pleasant
taste and attractive appearance, are
taken after actual hunger has beer
appeased.

clusion because it produces hyper

J. |. STOCKTON
AND DAUGHTER
GO VISITING
LEAVE THIS EVENING FOR THE
EAST, VISITING POINTS OF
INTEREST ON THE WAY, AND
THE OLD HOMES-WILL BE
AWAY THREE MONTHS.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Stockton and
daughter, Miss ZDe Stockton, leave
this evening at 1880 on the Shasta
Limited for California. They ex-
pect to take in the Yosemite Nation
al park and the Grand Canyon of
Arizona, en- route East. In Colorado
they will visit Pixies Peak and make

pal cities of the East, including a
stop off at Mr.. Stocktons old home in
Pennsylvania, and at Mrs. Stockton's
home in Rhode Island Some time
will be spent at Princeton, N. j.,
where the Stockton family originally
settled on a grant from the crown of
England of 5000 acres. Here was
bred and born Fighting Bob Stock
ton, admiral Of the United States
navy, under whose gallant seaman
ship California was brought under
the Stars and Stripes, and after
whom one of the cities of California
and one of the principal streets of
San Francisco are named. The
Stocktons will be away for three
months, returning over the Canadian
Pacific, and stopping off at the prin-
cipal summer resorts. Mr. Stockton
is one of Salem's successful dry goods
merchants. He has served in the
city council, and has taken an active
interest in all civic enterprises. He
is one of the men who showed their
faith and courage by putting their
money in the new Marion Hotel, and
his hand and heart and purse are
enlisted in other enterprises too
numerous to mention. Mr. Stockton
is a believer in the newspapers, and
the newspaper men all like Mr..
Stockton and wish him and his fam
lily a happy vacation trip, and a bon
voyage to return to the Capital City
when he gets ready.

OBJECT TO
A SALOON
AT MEHAMA

Aroused over the proposal by GER
tain parties to install a saloon in
Mebama, several taxpayers of that
little village appeared before the
county court yesterday afternoon
with the purpose of resisting any at
tempt to secure a license, but their
trip proved useless on the occasion,
as the applicant, because of an er-
ror in it, withdrew his petition.
The petitioner had served notice
that he would appear before the
court and apply for the license May
8. Yesterday 1t was discovered that
the notice had not run long enough,
and that the procedure must be gone
over again, and therefore the with
draway of the application by the ap-
plicant. The Odd Fellows and Re-
bekah lodges have filed protests
against the issuance of the license,
and when the hearing comes up again
members Of the organizations and
taxpayes will be there in a body tc
oppose it.

ARE TRYING TO
IDENTIFY HIM
AS J. B. BRYCE

Los Angeles, May 4.-Shortly be-
fore noon, District Attorney Freder.
icks, accompanied by E. H. Mills
representative of the Burns detec.
tive agency, took party of three wo-
men and two men by a circuitous
route to the county Jail.
Orders were given to admit nc
newspaper men or others not con-
nected with the prosecution, and
while no statement could be OBJ
tanned from any of the party, it is
understood that they went to the Jail
for the purpose of attempting to
identify James B. Mcnamara as
James B. Bryce, who, it is alleged
bought dynamite at the Giant pow
der works, and transported it to Los
Angeles.
None of the party was known here,
and they undoubtedly came from out
side towns.

SCHOOLS TO
HAVE MEET
AT WOODBURY.

Extensive preparations are now
under way for the county field meet,
to be held at Woodburn May 27, and
if the present program is carried
out it will surpass by far the meet
held in this city last spring.
Besides a program replete with all
kinds of athletic events it is plan
ned this year to have a baseball con-
test-a contest in which the winning
team in the north end of the county
will be matched against the winning
team of the south end Of the county.
AS there are number of games to
be played yet before a decision can
be reached as to which will be the
winning teams, it is not possible to
designate which will par r+icipate in
the contest at the meet
Fifteen schpols have signified their
intentions of participating in the
meet. Among the leading schools
may be mentioned those of Salem
Woodburn, Stayton, Silverton, Ger
vais and Hubbard.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
HAVE BUSY SESSION

The members of the board of coun-
ty commissioners, which body con-
vened yesterday, made a visit to the
state land lying near the State Insti-
tute for Predetermined today for the
purpose of inspecting the proposed
route of road across the lands.
The road as petitioned for will
lead from the Pringle road across
the state land and connect with what
is known as the Salem road. In ad-
dition to shortening the present
route in reaching the Salem road
from the Pringle road, the proposed
road will give a route which will be
entirely free from hills.
Most of the time of the board yes
terday was consumed in the auditing
of bills and the transaction of other
routine business, and all Of the ses-
sion this forenoon prior to the trip
to the state lands was consumed in
the transaction of like business.
The coming man counts among his
assets a good press agent.

food could be supplied at but 1885

The visit to the institution was
made at the suggestion of Governor
West, who was anxious to secure an
opinion from them as to how the in
mates were fed. He is anxious to Sc
cure the same opinion as to the food
at other institutions and a visit will
be made by the ladies' to them.
Miss Van Liew suggested to the

POLK COUNTY
HEN HOVERS
I4I CHICKS
SHE IS ONLY A "SCRUB" AND HAS
NOT BEEN EDUCATED OR BRED
UP TO IGNORE THE CALLS OF
MOTHERHOOD.

Polk county against the world for
poultry" is the slogan that ought to
appeal to the people of that rich and
thriving county, announces the Sa-
lem Statesman.
One hundred and forty-one chicks
is the flock that one hen is caring
for and rearing on the farm of Fred
Carothers, who has a farm seven
miles from Salem, in Polk county.
The way this hen acquired her
large family was this: She Matched
12 herself; another hen Matched an
even dozen more the same day, and
they were given to the first one,
Then few days later the incubator
gave up 1877 chicks, and these were
all turned over to her,
OF course, this family is too large
to get under the hens wing, at
night, so the past few cold nights Mr.
Carothers has taken the champion
hen into the house and provided a
place near the fireplace in which a
smouldering fire is maintained. The
chicks are doing as well as those
who are cared for by hen mothers
with the ordinary brood
While Biddy is just common
scrub" hen, she has acquired an en-
viable reputation on the Carothers'
farm for motherhood In fact, that
saved her life last fall. She had
been destined for the table, but one
of Mr.. Carothers' little boys inter
ceded with the plea, Don't kill her,
papa; she is such a good mother to
her little chicks" Last year she
successfully brought through three
hatchings of her own.
One would naturally think that
Biddy would have trouble recogniz-
ing her numerous family, but she
does not. Whenever one'o the chicks
of some of the other hens ventures to
mix in with her flock, she drives it
out. She is a valiant defender Of
her brood too, as the family dog and
turkey gobbler have learned to
their sorrow-Polk County Observer,

says it is surprising how many old.

goes to show that it is hard to improve
some of our grandmothers' old, time-tried
remedies. For instance, for keeping the

ing our grandmothers' sage tea" has ever
1een discovered. Although. BY the addi-
ion of sulphur and other ingredients, this
lld-fashioned brew has been made more
effective as a scalp tonic and color re-
storer. Nowadays when our hair comes
out or gets faded or gray. instead of 60
ing to the garden or ga.rct for herbs and
making the tea" ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
