The advisability Of suckering pro-
line corn depends on a number of con-
ditions. First of all. it is the nature
OF this type Of corn to produce from
one to three or even more stalks de-
pending on the season and the rich
ness Of the soil, and the distance apart
Of planting. Prolific corn should be
planted closer, relatively speaking,
than the large cared sorts so as to
keep down the tendency to suckering.
If one were growing a prize patch of
corn, it would be best to pull of most
Of the suckers, because where too
many develop it takes away part of
the strength Of the plant, and the food
which might otherwise go into the de-
velopment of ear is used up in the pro-
duction of stalk and this naturally
tends to lesson the yield. OF course,
where only a few suckers appear it is
not worth while to go to the labor of
pulling them of. On extra rich soil
and where the corn is planted in 1-2
to 5-foot rows and Is inches in the
drill row, leave as many as two suck
ers per plant. These will often make
good strong stalks and will produce
one or more ears. We would prefer on
land OF this character. however, to
plant the corn closer, so as to minimize
the tendency to sucker.

II you scatter finely ground phos-
phate rock at the rate Of about one
pound per day in the box stalls, you
will be mixing IL in about the right
proportion with manure obtained from
cattle and horses.
The best time to market cabbage to
secure the largest return is probably
in the early winter. On this account
the plants should be started in the
early summer in cold frames. and
planted out in August or September.
They will then mature in December or
January. and as there is little truck
on the market at that time, they will
more likely bring you a better price
than at any other season. The fact is
'one could sell new cabbage readily in
most OF our towns and cities. OF
course. If one were producing them on
a very ex tensive scale. IL might be nee
'sssary TO ship. Lice may be destroyed
'on cabbage by spraying with kerosene
emulsion, and sometimes by spraying
with arsenate Of lead while the plants
are small, and as often as required.
No application should be made later
than three weeks before harvest. The
Harlequin cabbage bug, the Sherman
bug and the Yankee beetle can only be
controlled by clean farm practice and
by the use Of such catch crops as kale
and rape.
Second crop or fall Irish potatoes
will prove a profitable one II you can
secure a stand. The trouble in Georgia
with second crop Irish potatoes is gen.
orally due to the hot weather prevail
ing at the time they are planted, and
the fact that they often rot before
coming up. II you can plant them in
ground which contains considerable veg
etable matter, fertilize them highly, and
cultivate so as TO retain moisture and Sc
cure a good stand, you will have lit
tie trouble in obtaining a large yield
in the late fall when they will natur-
ally command a high price. In our ex-
perience IL has proven best to plant
relatively small potatoes taken from
the first crop. These may be kept in
a shaded or semi-shaded place and al
lowed to turn somewhat green by ex-
posure TO the light before planting

FOOTBALL ON GRIDIR0N

Standpatters and Progressives to Thresh
Out Suggestions In Two
Days Session.

New York, Feb. 3.-Suggested changes
in football rules for the coming sea-
son presaged a warm fight among the
members OF the football rules COM
mittee which gathered here yesterday
for the regular annual meeting that
is likely to last two days. Some mem
bers of the committee believe that the
present rules are all sufficient. while the
so-called progressiyes declare ! that
changes are necessary in order to bring
about a fairer and better balanced game.
A sharp fight was anticipated on the
question of the forward pass over the
line of scrimmage, Some committee
men are in favor of limiting it to behind
the line OF serimmage on the ground
that it limits many dangerous hazards.
The question Of reducing the number
of yards to be gained in four downs
or of increasing the number of downs
to five comes up for early considera
ton. The opinion was freely expressed
yesterday that something must be done
to more nearly equalize the attack with
the defense and at the same time in
sure greater continuity for offensive
plays
All the members of the committee Of
II, with the possible exception of Alon-
10 A. Stagg, of Chicago university, were
expected at the meeting Mr. Stagg is

THREE BODIES FOUND
AS MAINE FL0ATED
Long Protracted Task Of Raising Part
of the Wreckage Was Successful
Yesterday.

Havana, Feb. 3.-The long protracted
task of raising the sunken battleship
Maine was crowned with success yester-
day when the after section, which was
not injured by the explosion and which
comprises approximately half the total
length of the Inflated vessel, was set
afloat
Barely sufficient water was admitted
within the cofferdam to free the hulk
from the mud in which it was deeply
imhedded, but last night it foated al
most on an even keel, though somewhat
down at the stern and much above its
normal line of floatation in consequence
of the removal of the heavy weights on
deck, especially the after turret and
its guns. The hull, into which a bulk
head had been fitted, proved perfectly
watertight.
Major Harley B. Ferguson, chief en-
gineer in charge of the work, intends
now to cease admitting water within
the cofferdam until the portions of the
shattered forward section of the battle
ship are removed, which will be mat
ter of few days. After this it will
be a simple matter to admit to the
harbor level. Then section of the cof-
ferdam will be removed and the hulk
will be foated out into the bay
Three bodies were found last even
ing during an exploration of the extreme
bow section of the Maine.

with two counts Of conspiracy in con-
nection with the alleged planting" Of
dynamite in the homes of striking opera
tiyes He furnished 81 900 bail on each
count Seven Others, who were arrested
because dynamite was found in their
homes, were released. Eighteen wit
nesses appeared against Breen, but his
attorney argued that there was no evi-
dence against him except that he told
the police where the dynamite could be
found.
The possibility OF the strike being
extended to all places where the Amer
ican Woolen company has mills will be
decided at n conference of strike leaders
tomorrow, according to William Yates
of New Bedford, who is temporarily at
the head OF the Industrial Workers Of
