Late Corn Planting


Some of the corn is being put
in late this year. 1t has been
discovered that in many cases
corn planted late when the earth
was damp and warm produced a
much larger crop than the corn
that had the apparent advantage
of early planting in cold wet
ground which retarded the ger
mination process and weakened
the seed. One old farmer in
speaking to the reporter recently
stated that the best crop of corn
he ever raised was planted con-
siderably after the first of June
in a spring considerably like the
present, cold and damp. The
corn was planted in ideal
weather and in three days the
rows could be seen outlined clear
across the field. The growth
was correspondingly rapid and
healthy all during the year and
he reaped a heavy harvest, con-
siderably greater than many
who had gone into the fields
much earlier and dropped their
corn

Rotate the Crops

Some of the farmers here are
learning the advantage of
rotation Of crops. They find
that a field planted to clover one
year yields big the next year. It
will yield better if the clover is
harvested and still better if the
clover is ploughed under. The
farm owner might do we'll to
specify in his lease that the nj
trogenous crops should be plant
ed alternately with the cereals
and make allowances in the rent
clause for this planting. The
Scully estate in Illinois, Kansas
and Nebraska have specified in
their leases, some of them long
lived, that the crops shall be
rotated in certain manner, the
long leases encouraging the far
mers to improve their estates.
To rack-rent a farm to the ex-
tent that a tenant must plant a
cereal crop on every acre every
year in order to pay the rent is
a losing proposition to the farm
owner who will find that he is
robbing his land of its productive
qualities for a few extra dollars
temporarily and will find that he
finally is in possession of an es-
tate of impoverished land when
the renter leaves. An allow
ance could be profitably made to
permit a man to plant a field in
clover allowing it to lie fallow
for a year and turning the clover
under, planting 1t the next year.
In England, farms planted a
hundred years will produce a
greater crop of cereals annually
than many comparatively new
farms here. Rotation of crops
properly planted is the secret.
Many old eastern farms, depict
ed, have been made fruitful by
the same process.
One young farmer in this
vicinity states that he planted
twenty acres to clover one yeal
without cutting it. The mex
year he planted it to corn. He
got as large a yield as a man
near him who had planted more
than twice the acreage.

Commencement Address


Wednesday evening was the
climax Of the weeks exercises
and entertainments. Rabbi
Leon Harrison of st. Louis, a
speaker of considerable reputa-
ton and ability delivered the
address Of the day.
The evening events opened
with professional played by Miss
Dorothy Wayland during which
the class Of 1918 took their posi-
tions at the head of the room
after marching frlm the entrance
through the middle aisle. After
the invocation by Rev. Ransford,
Supt. Taylor introduced the
speaker at about $50 p. m.
The rabbi began his remarks
with a history Of his trip to this
city during which he suffered
considerable hardship. His sub
ject was THE Gospel of Labor. |"
He gave a brief story Of his
early life, when, like many 9TH
ther Jewish immigrants, he
worked his way through college.
He said the finest thing that
came to q man was thathe found
it necessary to work. There
was nothing finer than for q man
to work and do his work well IAN
education is a great thing in
this work, too. Education means
knowledge, which is joy, power
and happiness. The speaker is
at war with some systems Of ed
ucation. He thinks it folly to
teach many minor details of
geography. etc. to a child, clut-
tering its mind with useless in-
formation. Children should be
taught the things that interest
them. Teach them to set near
to nature. Teach the boys "a

value Of creating something.
Instruct the girls ia the art Of
housekeeping, domestic science,
etc. 50 they viii be better fitted
to assume q productive station
in the economic world. Teach
modern history first and then if
time is left, then teach ancient
history and literature. All
through his talk his attitude was
that Of a progressive thinker
along educational lines.
The rabbits remarks were en-
joyed by a crowded house. those
attending finding a humorous
vein running parallel with his
more sober thoughts and apposi-
lively used to illustrate points
made and applied to modern
conditions. The weather was
extremely hot and fans and
handkerchiefs were prominent
sights during the evening.
There were many people from
Salibury, Brunswick, Dalton and
other points, quite a number Of

1t is now claimed by local
optionists that the local option
law now in force in this county
stops the sale of intoxicants and
in proof of which they point
with pride to $9,961. 90 in fines
against offenders. Nine arrests
from plain drunks and three for
| fighting in one of our towns in
the county last Saturday proves
something, perhaps everything.
Seven. deaths from alcoholism
and three from hard cider in the
county in four years. These do
not include tramps. Will some
Ione compare this record with that
Of the four previous years and
tell the voters that local option
prevents drinking?
Elk President Roosevelt is now
engaged in a suit against Editor
Geo. A. Newett of Marquett,
Mich. for $4,000 damages for
defamation of character. Newett
said in his paper that Roosevelt
was a heavy drinker and was
drunk when shot in Milwaukee.
Is the Colonel at work on the
ground plans for a race as a

ling almost everything in his
Testimony, but denies being
drunk. Yet he is one Of our
