INCREASE in
CORN CROP
Manure Spread After Planting
Shows Big Improvement Over
Land Treated In Winter
Srnothcrs Weeds.
By 3. COvERDELL.)

A great many farmers argue that
manure must be spread during the
winter In order to be of any benefit
to the ground the following season.
Our experience disproves this argu.
ment and goes still step further,
proving that manure spread even in
the late spring will greatly improve
the crop that season.
Last spring after our corn had been
planted straw manure and refuse from
the feed lots were hauled out and
spread over the corn field. Partly as
an experiment we chose n little slope
where the ground was thin and gravel.
ly.
When the corn came up It soon took
on deeper and healthier hue where
the manure had been spread and the
growth OF the plant was more rapidly
prompted than In other portions of the
field.
Also. this particular spot was almost
entirely free from weed pests of any
kind during the whole season, the
manure forming a sort Of mulch which
smothered out the weeds.
These favorable conditions were
maintained till corn-gathering. when
there was marked difference In the
yield Of corn In certain portion OF
the field. the difference being several
bushels more per acre In favor Of the
ground on which the manure was
spread after planting.

A Railroad Accident
Precursor of Improvement

Over near Placerville a worn out
rail caused a coach to leave the
track and ride the ties some distance
before the train could be brought to
a stop. When the train stopped it
was found that the car lacked but a
trifie OF going down the side OF the
canon some 80 feet. 1t happened
that William FL. Van Kleech, a heavy
stockholder in the ID. & r, G. and a
director in one of the big banks in
New York, with his son, was in the
car. When they got out and took a
look at the situation and realized
how near they came to a drop, what
Van Kleech, Sr. said was a plenty.
After he got to Telluride he threw
aside the incog under which he had
been travelling. and talked a plenty.
He said that Gould is not a railroad
man, that he is out of the Grande,
that real railroad men are now at
the head and that the road will be
put in proper shape, that it will be
broadgauged, heavier rails laid. and
the road will be made a real railroad.
1t is fortunate that so prominent an
interested party started out incog to
see what he really had his money in
vested in and that he came near
enough TO a drop down the canon to
realize that something needs to be
done on the road. 1t goes without
saying that Mr.. Van Kleeck has ideas
worth while to the other stockhold-
ers and that he will not be over mod
est in giving expression To them. A
whole lot of people haven't the kind
est feelings for railroad managers
and owners and would not mourn
more than 40 days il a trainload of
them should drop OFF the side of a
canon into the sweet by-and- bye, but
In this case il is no doubt fortunate
that Mr.. Van kleeck lives to tell his
tale. as he seems inclined to talk out
in meeting.
