BOYS CORN CLUB PLAN
TO Be TRIED IN NORTH
Success of Movement in South
Encourages Officials of
Government.


owing to the success of the boys corn
cubs in the south, the Department of
Agriculture has been asked to carry this
line of work farther. and it is doing so
in organizing boys potato clubs in the
north. beginning with New England.
This work has been placed in charge of
W. ]. SpilIman of the office of farm man.
agement The first seasons work will
commence this summer. The boys will be
given a measured acre each, and will be
furnished with instructions from the de-
pa1tment as to growing and cultivating
the crop.
What the result will be is, of course,
still impossible to foresee, but, judging
from the success Of the corn club move
ment. it is likely to be of value. This
corn experiment was the conception of
the late DIR. S. A. Knapp. In the three
years of work while he was alive the
number of boys in the corn clubs in
creased to 6J,WD.

Urges Prevention of Waste.

He explains that when the country is
in a state Of nature. all the rainfall and
the melting snowfall sinks into the ground
and the rivers run clear. With settlement
and cultivation, the ground is broken up
so that it is washed into the streams and
the rivers run muddy in the spring and
there are intervals of disastrous floods
and bad droughts.
He says further that as land becomes
more valuable the farmer is unconsciously
apply the remedy by more intensive cul-
tiyation and managing his land SO that 1t
is not allowed to erode and wash away.
The point he brings out, however. Is that
this situation should be clearly put before
the people SO that crop systems and
methods of cultivation might be imme-
diately improved and the waste Of both
land and water prevented.

SEED CORN OF NATION
OF INFERIOR QUALITY
Warning Sent Out to Farmers
by Department of
Agriculture.

owing to the poor corn crop of the
country last year, the poorest for several
years, it is announced, the supply of seed
corn for next years planting is generally
OF inferior quality. This has led the De-
partment of Agriculture to make extern
slve tests of the terminating quality of
the seed corn available this year, and the
result has been to send out a warning to
the farmers of the country
The bureau of plant industry, under DR..
b. L. Galloway, has tested 1000 seed
corn samples. The average of germina-
ton is low. 81 per cent, where it should
be 40 per cent This would mean, under
the same conditions as were met by the
last crop. reduction of 10 per cent in
the corn crop of the country. When it
is considered that the corn crop is the
great crop of the country, reaching half
a billion bushels in good year. it is seen
that this would mean serious loss.

Threatened Others, It Is Said.

Mcneil, 1T is charged, threatened the
lives OF Lee Barnes and his wife, &C.
cupants of the second floor of the I'd
street house, when they made inquiries
TO learn something of the shooting.
1t is stated that Mcneil walked OUT
the rear door as Policeman Garrett
reached the front of the house. He re-
manned long enough to dress, and. the
police think. to reload his revolver.
Persons who know him told the police
they feared he would use his weapon
to resist arrest.

Low termination Average.

Inc tests were the more important be-
cause they showed the lowest average of
termination in the biggest of the corn
producing states. Virginia, Kentucky
ana maryland were between 81 and 80
per cent which was not such a bad show
ing, but states like Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio were below so per cent. and North
Dakota made the minimum showing, with
So per cent.
The circular sent to the farmers urges
tnem to get the best seed they can find
for planting. Ear corn is recommendeJ
and 1t is urged that there should be a
careful termination test made of each
ear, and all inferior ears discarded. When
the farmer has to use shelled corn that
mas not been previously tested for ger
mination he is urged to test sample
double the usual size, and then on the
basis OF the termination test, to plant
plenty OF corn to give q full stand

Condition Regarded Serious.

The average reduction in level of the
ground water" is shown to have been
fourteen feet since the first settlement.
This is regarded as a serious condition, be-
cause the food-producing possibility of
the country depends eventually on the
water supply.
One group of ten states was taken in
the rectangle inclosed by Minnesota,
Ohio, Tennessee and Iowa. 1t was found
that this was representative of the gen.
eral condition. It was shown that the
water level was gradually but steadily
falling all over the country, so that the
ultimate outlook, not next year. but in
few centuries, will be for a vanishing
drinking supply not only on the fatms
but in urban communities where the wa
ter supply is drawn from lakes and rivers
Prof. MCGEE says that the supply could
be increased by digging the wells deeper.
but that this would be merely palliative
measure. The real remedy is in changing
the system Of farm cultivation SO as to
conserve the water supply

CENSUS SHOWS WATER
SUPPLY IS DW|ND[|NG
Prof. w J MCGEE Finds Level
in Country's $4,000 Wells
Gradually Sinking.

After two weeks work Prof. W ]
MCGEE Of the Department of Agriculture
is finishing the most curious census that
has ever been undertaken in the United
States. 1t is a census of the wells Of
the country, with data concerning them
as bearing on the national water supply
and incidentally on the ultimate food re-
sources of the nation.
This we'll enumeration has already
reached 5000 and covers the states and
practically every county of the United
States. Records are compiled, so far as
possible, showing the depth Of the well
and the depth Of the water and the vari-
alton Of water level from year to year.
The significant part of the showing is
that the water level in the wells of the
country is decreasing at the rate of a
foot and half for each decade. Some
of the records go back for twenty years
and some to the first settlement of the
country.

Sophomore Notes

The Sophomores had q party
at the home of Herbert Schwamb,
Friday night, at which they en-
joyed themselves immensely.
They went out on a hayrack, and
the Juniors, thinking they would
have a little fun, came out later.
When they put in an appearance,
the Sophomores chased them
down the road. The Juniors
after running a short distance,
turned and big John .Oleson
grappled with Clifford Null.
Cecil Greene made an attempt to
rescue him and Clarence Pavelka
helped John. In this skirmish
which followed, Cecil Greene
would undoubtedly have lost his
life had it not been for the timely
and heroic assistance of Sadie
Smith and Harriet Eddy. Peace
was re-established, however, and
on the way home, all persons
present engaged in a vocal duel
in which each class tried to out
yell the other. 1t was noticed
that the Junior girls, having
been shocked at the conduct of
their own boys, yelled valiantly
for the Sophomores.
