HERE is no branch Of agricultural
activity in the United States
where the past few years has
witnessed greater Improvement
IN methods of cultivation and har-
vestiug than in the sphere Of corn
growing. This is as 1t should be
for corn Is easily one Of our
most important crops. Indeed,

recognized, it is greater wealth

"CHARLOTTE WILLIAMS HOSPITAL.

WeiI-Equipped Hospital.
The Memorial Hospital was erected
about ten years ago, the original fund
being donated by John l.. Williams as
memorial TO his daughter, Miss Char
lotte Williams. II is the largest ana
most completely equipped hospital In
the city. the property being valued at
s250.000. 1t has been operated in alli-
ance with the Medical College of Vir-
Sinia, and many of the most distin-
guished surgeons OF the state have
operated in It's large surgical amphI-
theatre. Negotiations have been on
foot for some weeks past between
members OF the Council and OF the
board of the hospital with a view to
some such arrarAtment as Is proposed
by Mr.. Williams.
Members of the Committee on Relief
of the Poor have long realized that
the city needed a public hospital. not
connected with the almshouse, and the
offer of the Charlotte Williams Cor
poration seems TO open the way for
the acquisition OF such an institution
without other outlay than assuming
the debt now resting on the hospital.
subcommittee of the Committee on
Relief OF the Poor is already making
estimates OF the cost OF erecting and
maintaining such an institution, and
would no doubt have recommended
that the city build hospital had not
the offer been made.

SUBSTITUTES FOR RUBBER.
Two Found, but Time Required to
Prove Usefulness.


Prove Usefulness.
Rubber consumption has kept so
closely on the heels of rubber produc-
ton and the price of the gum has risen
so rapidly in the last few years that
nothing could be more welcome to the
automobile man and the manufacturer
of rubber goods than the discovery of
a synthetic rubber or some practicable
substitute for rubber in its various
uses.
Within the last few months an
nOuncement has been made in at least
two quarters that such substitutes had
been found, and. while time and exper-
iment will be required to determine
their usefulness, the formulas are in
tereSting.
An English scientist. Dr. F. G.
Weichmann. has made a rubber from
the seeds of a South American palm
known as taqua nut. He extracts the
vegetable albumen, compounds it with
an animal albumen and a suitable sol
vent and produces a hard rubber which
has all the tensile strength and other
qualities of rubber. except that it will
not stand the action of water and
chemical agents.
This difficulty in turn has been over
come by compromising it again with
condensed product of phenol and for
maldehyde. This material again may
be combined with as many substances
as native rubber.
The other substitute comes from Ger
many. Five hundred parts of cry
threne are dissolved in benzine. and
the solution is heated for ten hours at
a temperature of $50 degrees cent?
grade A steam diStillation then re-
moves the solvent, and the elastic sub
stance that remains closely resembles
rubber.
