CORN RAISING


Pi~pestone, Nov. 20. -George Van
cura, the Lakeield farmer who grew
100 bushels of excellent corn on an
acre, has given out a statement snow
ing how he prepared the land and cul-
tivated the corn. In 1911 he selected
a plot of ground that had been in
clover eight years. 1t was plowed
about six inches deep and nothing
further was done with the land until
the spring of 1912. AS soon as the
ground had thawed several loads of
manure were hauled on and the land
was disced several times. On May 10
Vancura planted his seed corn, known
rs Minnesota No. T.. The corn was
checked three in a bill, 30 inches by
AZ inches apart. The acre was han
rowed twice before the corn appeared
above the ground. By close watching
cut worms and ground squirrels were
kept from the corn. The first c%ultiva-
tion was on June 10 and the field
was then covered with fertilizer. The
corn was cross cultivated on June 81,
and again covered with fertilizer. The
next cultivation was on July 3 and the
last on July 10. After the last cult
walton nothing was done to the corn
until Oct. 10, when it was surveyed
and husked and weighed up by a com
mittee of citizens and founl to yield
100 bushels for the acre.

of Iowa stuck himself in the leg with
a pitch fork. The wound would not
heal and for two years he had a run

the sore would heal, but ii always
broke open again. Finally he healed
it up to stay healed with Aliens Ul.
cerine Salve.
This salve is one of the oldest RENE,
dies in America and since 1869 it has
been known as the only salve powerful
enough to cure chronic ulcers and old
sores of long standing.

ing out the poisons and healing the
sole from the bottom up. 1t Is Sc
powerful that it heals new cuts and

R. R.. RACE
Omaha May Beat the Great
Northern to Whealer

Mitchell, Nov. 29.-The statement
that has been made concerning the
strong possibility Of the extension of
the Great Northern railroad from Sioux
Falls to Wheeler on the Missouri river
in Charles Mix county, will without
doubt awaken another project of rail.
road extension which has remained
dormant for about IL years. but which
bss always been an ambition of an.
other railroad company to build to
the same point. When the Chicago,
st. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha rail-
road built the extension from Sioux
Falls 60 Mitchell a quarter of a EN-
fury ago. it was the understanding
that the like would eventually be
completed on to Wheeler. A success
sion of years of poor crops, brought
on by slight rain, held the project in
allegiance.
With the announcement coming
with more or less authority that the
Great Northern will build to Wheeler,
it is believed by the business men OF
this city, men who have been in touch
with the possible extension from this
city. that the Omaha will step into
the field and give the Great Northern
a chase down into that rich agricnl-
tural country. The Omaha people
have looked Upon that country as their
property for business advancement
and it is not likely that they will
permit another road to build into it
alone.

AN AUSTRO-BALKAN PACT
War Involving Three Great
Powers Is q Probability.
ny Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, Oct. 12-From Vienna comes
a sensational report of an Austro- Bal
kan agreement laying the basis for a
new European imperial confederation.
Sir Edward Grey, Secretary OF State
for Foreign Affairs, declines to discuss
the proposition or to admit that Great
Britain is officially aware OF It's exist
ence In fact In diplomatic circles,
however, the report is given general
credence, and It does not seem to have
taken the embassies by surprise.
A former Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs Is authority for the statement
that Austria's intentions In this re-
gard have been the subject OF official
correspondence among England, Ger
many, Russia and France for the last
month or six weeks. These nations
he says, will never tolerate such
strong combination In the Near East.
TT would be q standing menace" he
said. ito every European power and
would destroy the Balkan buffer, 70
create which the powers Of Europe
have co-operated as far as possible In
friendly assistance to Bulgaria, Ru-
mania, servia and Montenegro.
"Rumania.' he added, "will not
enter such an alliance, but will, on the
contrary, support Turkey with the AID
and approval Of Russia"
The belief is growing In Downing
street that a European war which
would involve three. II not all. the
great powers is an impending prob
ability.
The sudden change Of orders by the
Admiralty, strengthening the Britisn
feet In the Mediterranean. is deemed
significant of the extreme gravity OF
tho situafiOn.

WAR FEVER HIGH IN ROME
ION to ConstantinopleP' the
Cry-Invaders Ready.
IBy Cable to The Tribune.

Rome, oct. 12-The war fever here
has been revived with fury by reports
OF Montenegrin successes and semi
official admissions that Italy accuses
Austria OF gross bad faith in engineer
ing the peace negotiations with the ex-
press purpose OF robbing the victorious
Italians Of the fruits OF their arduous
campaigns against the Turks. The ut
most Indignation prevails, and the cry
ION TO Constantinople!" is heard on
every lip.
The government Is taking advantage
OF this situation TO rush mobilization
and the dispatch OF every available
Italian soldier TO ports convenient for
debarkation on the Turkish mainland.
The fleet has steam up and Is standing
by to convoy the transports to the ex-
pected scene OF conflict. The war coun-
ell. It is stated, favors a swift descent
upon both Constantinople and Salonica.
The main body Of the army is to be
landed between Enos and Gallipoli,
supported by the lighter ships OF tine
fleet, which will threaten the entrance
to the ,Dardanelles, while the heavier
vessels and force OF marines assail
salonica. BY thus carrying the re-
sumption of the war into European
Turkey, Italy hopes to anticipate Aus
tria's designs and make common cause
with the Balkan States in The holy
cruaode"
