Harvest Has Begun.

In some sections of the county, the
wheat harvest has begun The dry
weather with the temperature ranging
up around 90 in the shade has ripened
the grain rapidly since the first week
in June. Prospect for a heavy yield
is not at all flattering. Notwithstand-
ing wheat came out Of the winter in
what seemed to be a splendid con-
dition, adverse conditions developed
in the nid-spring season, that have
seriously affected the outlook for a
record breaking crop. Chief among
the nishaps to the wheat plant dur
ing the critical period of its spring
growth was a frost or two IN May.
The crops yielding twelve TO fifteen
bushels to the acre will far outnumber
this year those of twenty bushels end
upward per acre.

Two Cent Rate Law.

The two cent passenger rate law
that has been in force in West Vir-
GINA forfour years has=been=heldsto
be valid by the Supreme Court Of the
United States in an opinion handed
down on Monday The railroads were
dissatisfied with the law from its-en-
actment, and early went into the
courts to have it set aside as uncon-
stitutional.s Especially savage in its
opposition was the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railroad Company whieh corr
Quoted an active fight against it.
The Norfolk & Western Company
adopted a. curious policy in relation
to the two-cent rate. 1t required all
passengers to pay full fare between
stations within the state but gave a
rebate coupon with each ticket to
cover the difference between two
cents a mile and the regular fare,
with an implied promise to redeem
the coupons in cash in the event the
courts held that the law is valid.
Many passengers, of course, threw
their coupons away, or destroyed
them, not thinking it worth while to
save them Some, however, were
saved, a few merchants making a
business of collecting them There
are a few people in this county, who
have accumulated a good lot of them
and they will have a nice little supply
of cash when redemption day comes,

INCREASE THE CORN YIELD.


Corn is the principal crop of West
Virginia. but the average yield is very
low The season usually receives the
blame for low yields. We appreciate
the fact that the amount Of rainfall
and sunshine Is a factoES fh> determin-
Ing production. but there Are many
other reasons for q low oE<high aver
age for the state
The following suggestions win aid IN
corn production:
/. Plant corn in fields that have
been In heavy sod or clover.
2. Select good seed corn-ears that
have q bright color and free from
rotten kernels.
5. Test each ear before planting and
thus secure a perfect stand.
{. Plew the soil deep and thoroughly
pulyerixe II before planting.
5. Apply barnyard manure and 8
highgrade acid phosphate
8: Harrow the corn ground before
