DOUBT SUCCESS OF
COUNTY CORN CROP
termination Tests of Grains
Forecast Unfavorable
Conditions.

Already. even before the ground is
plowed and the seed planted. farm
ers OF Wayne county are beginning to
doubt the success of the 1911 crop.
In termination tests it has been found
that many of the grains on each ear
are not fertile. This complaint is not
made in Wayne county, alone, as far
mers generally in Ohio. Indiana. Hi
nois and Missouri are reporting the
same condition.
In order that better termination
may be secured, those farmers who
possible can, are making ready to
use corn from the 1909 crop for seed
purposes. The reason is that in the
dry spell in September 1910 the corn
dried up and was rapidly ripening
when early in October warm wet
spell started the corn to growing
again. The result was that the crop
did not die until frost came in the
middle of October.
The corn was killed quickly and did
not dry properly. AS a result black

county's corn expert says he believes
existing conditions are due to irregu
larity in the curing the seed last fall

EeJucino the Coal bill.

When adding fuel TO u good bed OF
live coal In the furnace cover one side
other side. In this way the heat from
the live coal tends to make coke of
the fresh fuel by consuming the gas
and smoke. Less draft is needed. too.
and less OF the fuel goes TO waste in
gas and smoke. SO tina, there is less
gas and dirt in the cellar or furnace
room and in the house by way of the
registers. If large Jumps of Goa! are
used a good way is to scatter what is
known as slack" over them. The
slack tends to hold the tire longer, and
the lump coal will tend to prevent the
slack from forming clinkers.-Suburba n

I'VE arrived at the ranch after three

We could have safe refuge in case Of
an outbreak. The guns were KEEP
loaded and during the day even Oul

direction of his work to the native

The thing came to head one nigh
two weeks ago when an incendiary fire
was started in the stable. This wa:
