tested are Cookies Prolific and Marlboro.
In order of yield. Whatley's Prolific,
Marlboro, Cookies Prolific, Vinson and
Butts Prolific have all made good rec
ord. Wilson's Prolific has been tested
for two years. however, and Butts Uro-
life for only one year Butts Prolific
has therefore probably not had fair
chance. as the season of 1911 was I'M
favorable for corn production. AS an av-
erage of three years, Whatleys Prolific
has produced IS bushels: Marlboro, IS
bushels; and Cookies Prolific 81 bushels
AS an average of two years, Wilson's
Prolific has produced 6S bushels and for
one year. Butts Prolific 4S bushels.
For river bottom lands and extra rich
soils of swampy origin, we would be dis
posed to recommend some of the larger
cared sorts. of the white varieties,
Henry Grady, Rock1ale and Boone county
White will be found quite satisfactory;
of the yellow sorts, a strain of Leaning
grown under Georgia conditions would
probably be the best variety to grow.
SUITABLE CORN TO GROW FOR
81 5 i SILAGE.
G. c. A., Mansfield, Ga, writes: 1
wish to put up a silo this summer and
wish to know which is the best variety
of corn for silage, and when should 1t
be planted. Do you recommend alter
nate rows of corn and sorghum for
silage and when should it be planted?
Our experience in the use of the silo
now covers good many years, and we
have found it advisable to plant corn
and sorghum in alternate rows. The
sorghum should be planted as soon as
the ground is warm enough to insure
its quick termination. and the corn
from two weeks to 80 days later. This
is due to the fact that corn will mature
in a much shorter 0period of time for
silage than the sorghum. Sorghum
should not be cut to put in the silo un-
til the seed is practically mature. You
know it retains its juices with great
tenacity. When put in the silo in too
green conditions it makes sour silage
which is not so palatable for live
stock. OUR method has been to plant
the sorghum in 6-foot rows and put
row of corn between. Among the
varieties of corn which can be recon-
manded for silage purposes are Henry
Grady, Virginia Ensilage and Cookies
Prolific. The Cookies Prolific produces
rather a slender stalk, however, and does
not stand up as we'll as the other va
rieties mentioned. We have some diff
Guilty in securing corn which germi-
mates as well as is desirable, Ynd you
should therefore test any seed you pur-
chase. You will find the silo a great
institution if you are interested in
keeping beef or dairy cattle on your
farm. A limited amount of it is also
fine for sheep, and small quantity,
not over five pounds per day may often
be fed during the winter season to
horses and mules along with other dry
roughness.

GARY LIGHT CO.
MADE DEFENDANT
Spencer Buckner After
$4,000 Damages For
Injuries.

Spencer A. Buckner, by his attorneys
Seabright and White of Gary and Nc
Aleer Brothers of Hammond, has start
ed an action against the Gary Heat
Light and Water Co. for $4,000 dam
ages as a result OF injuries he received
when he was subjected to a severe
electric shock while acting as a police
officer In Gary.
The accident occurred on Sept 49,
1911 While patroling his beat the
officer noticed. that an electric arc light
was not burning AS Is the custom of
the officers he shook the chain by
which the light is raised and lowered
and in that manner attempted to start
the light to burning.
The chain had come in contact with
the feed wire and the officer received n
full charge of electricity in his body.
There were some iron water pipes lay
ing near the curb at the time and he
was standing on these when he recciv-
ed the shock.
Passers by managed to release him
from the chain but he claims that the
shock so injured him that he will be
a cripple for life. 1t is claimed that a
rope intead of a chain should have
been used to lower the lidhts.

THREE RIOTERS
ARRESTED

Three prisoners charged with riot
We're brought before Judge George
Reiland in Indiana Harbor yesterday
and fined IS and costs each. The men
were John Tahula, Alex Muntian and
Pete Bugdon, and their victim was Sam
Butabo.
Sam, 1t developed. had once wrestled
bear. winning the decision over bruin.
He had not recovered from the glory
of his achievement. which gave him the
swelled head, in the opinion of his fell
lows. According to them he talked of
his prowess morning noon and night
until they decided that he needed a fall
taken out of him to restore him to a
normal state.
The three men, then, in a spirit of
friendly correction, sought to show
Sam that even though a bear could not
conquer him. they could.
For long time they had not liked
the gist of his remarks about his Prov
ess. so they started In to humble the
hero. At first they intended merely to
take fall out OF him in a moderate
sort of way. but as they warmed up
to their work they gradually Increased
the dose. When they completed their
course of facial and body massage what
was left of the tanner of tame bears was
not worth speaking about.
At the time Of going to press the
assailants of Sam were very busy try
ing to dig up the IS and costs. which
amounted in each case to sl4so.

Evangelist Mcdonald to

ask what must l do TO enter society?
But this man asked the greatest ques-
ton of all; What must l do to be
saved?" 1t was a strong and vital ser
mon and made a deep impression. II

be the closing day and all expect 1t
will be the great day of the feast. At
each of the services the opportunity
will be quietly given TO all to make a
free will offering to the evangelist for
his services. This is all the compensa-
ton that he receives and so highly have
his sermons and talks been appreciated
that without doubt the offering will be
generous.
At 3 o'clock a great mons meeting
will be held. The address by Evan
