FARMERS CORN TESTS.
By Professor c. p. N0RG0RD of the Col.
Iege Of Agriculture, University
OF Wisconsin.

~<HE purpose of the farmers corn
tests is to emphasize the i'm
portance Of proper curing, stor-
age and planting of good seed
corn and the value of using high yield
ing varieties. This was accomplished
by termination and growing tests on
the demonstration farms of each farm
er's corn, showing the great losses sus-
tained by farmers with present prac-
tces. Samples Of farmers seed corn
as planted by them were secured from
twenty-five farmers surrounding each
demonstration farm. Each ear Of this
was tested for termination and rec
ord kept of the same at the station at
Madison. One hundred and fifty ker-
nels Of each farmers corn were plant
ed in duplicate rows In different parts
Of one Of the demonstration fields.
The land was carefully selected so
as to be uniform in fertility and drain
age and as free as possible from animal
and insect enemies. The corn was
planted after May Is to avoid cold
rains and packed soils. The exact
stand was determined from the num-
Der Of stalks appearing from the 100
kernels planted, and later the yield of
each mans corn was secured. Samples
of station bred, kiln dried corn were
planted beside the farmers corn and
were taken as standards for comparl.
son.
Considering the relative yielding
power Of different varieties, Farmer A
at Oshkosh found that his sample, q
mixture of flint and dent, with a stand
of 81 per cent, gave a yield of 27.C
bushels per acre. while his neighbors

Citizen Writes Again.

Mr.. Editor Since | wrote
you last | have been quietly
studying the political situation in
Morgan county, and in doing this
| have visited practically all parts
of the county, | have been i'm
pressed by the earnestness OF the
voters and by their zeal for their
friends. In talking with them ]
have learned considerable of their
views and opinions. Having only
the general welfare Of the county
in view | shall not venture an
opinion upon the results of the
primary so far as individual
candidates are concerned, but
will rather address myself to the
things the people want.
within the last few days there
has come into this county a vague
disturbing element Of doubt upon
matters legislative. 1t is general
ly supposed and expected by the
temperance people THAT the next
legislature will en$ct a law to
comply with the provisions of
the Federal Webb bill, which
gives the States the right to
control the shipment Of liquor,
If that is done Kentucky will be
able to make her local option laws
effective. To do this the temper
ance people will have to be sure
that the men they vote for for
Senator and Representative are
sound on the liquor question. L
they expect to win in the fight
they must vote for men upor
whom the taint of the liquor
trust is not fastened. They mt S
vote for men of high character
and against whose honesty there
can be no question. 1t is not
time to send men of questionable
character on whom the suspicion
rests that the liquor trust cal
control.
Anotherthi ng that is being
vaguely whispered is that from
some source comes the suggest
ion that there will be an attemp
made to defeat the will of tn,
people by juggling with the bal
lots on the day of the election
The people are wrought up t,
such a pitch, as | found in m.
jouneying, that they will no
stand for such work, andif ther
is any idea on the part Of anyon
to attempt fraud, let me advis,
them to abandon it Immediately
: Regardless of whom they are fo
: the people are determined tina
this shall be a fair and just pr
| mary.
. Next week | may give yor
l readers some of my observation
u on the situation in concrete. Th
= time is pregnant with big d
: velopments which will come to
II head soon.

Editor of the Courier,
West Liberty, KY,

West Liberty, KY,
Dear Sir:
| am a citizen and taxpayer
Of Morgan County, II democrat,
and last but not least, a constant
reader of the Licking Valley
Courier. am not a politician
and hardly even take an active
part in primary elections, but |
believe it is the duty of every
good citizen to help to nominate
and elect the best men to all the
offices. heard Mr.. Hogg, candi-
date for State Senator, make a
speech the other day in which
he advocated the idea of raising
the amount of a housekeeper's
exemptions from $1750.00 to
S2750. 90. This sounded very good
at first, but after l had studied
the matter over for awhile l be-
gan to believe, that l wasn't in
favor of his proposition. So |
commenced to inquire among
my neighbors as to what they
thought about it, and | was a
little surprised to find that a.
bout nine out of every ten OF
them were not in favor Of rails
ing the amount of exemption
any at all. Some of them eX-
pressed themselves in favor OF
having the amount made less in
stead of more. They said that us
farmers usually manage to pay
our debts and don't have to take
advantage of the homestead eX-
emption law, and that is the
truth. There are not many men
who can't pay their debts if they
will try, and to raise the exemp-
ton to 100000 would only give
the dishonest fellow, who don't
want to pay his debts, a better
chance to beat his creditors Sc
|, with nearly all the voters
have talked with, are opposed
to Mr.. Hogg's exemption propo
, sition. | don't know how Mr.
Arnett stands on this question
, but | believe he will do the righ
thing about it. One thing | d,
know about Charley Arnett il
that he is against the sale o
whiskey and a friend to the poor

Packard's station. on the Winnie

miles from the latter place. was the
scene Of distressing tragedy yester-
day, the two infant sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. J. Arnold having been burn
ed to death in fire which totally de-
stroyed the station buildings and the
father having nearly lost his life in
trying to save his children.
The fire occurred about 2:45
O'Clock in the afternoon and its
origin is unknown though it is be-
Heved to have been caused by one
of the children, -year-old-boy, play
ING with matches. The children were
alone in the large dining room of
the station. the older being in little
bedroom curtaned off in one corner
and the other. a 10 months-old boy,
in a baby carriage in another part OF

, gather up has become exhausted.
The fear OF over cost has stalled
! several farmers who have the well,
| and the lands. In order that this fea1
| may be set at rest the following
! table. furnished the Record Courier
. some time ago, will be of interest
as it shows the low rate of charge
and it is no longer an experimental
proposition.
Electricity for pumping is the only
feasible power that can be utilized
economically and allow the farmer
or user anything like the rightful
profit he should gain from crops thus
irrigated or produced Through the
courtesy OF manager Cambell and II
\ Lennon. OF the Truckee River
Electric company, the Record Cour-
ier is able to give the following rates
for power from their company for
pumping purposes:
First 5000 X. w. II. at IL cents.
Next 5000 X. w. H. at is cents.
Next 10000 X w H. at 1.3 cents.
Over 10000 X. w. H. at ID cents.
In addition to this a ten per cent
discount is allowed for prompt set
tlemeM OF accounts.
For plant using from twelve to
twenty horse power, the rate per
kilowatt hour would be approximate
ly IL cents. The present rate
charged for lighting purposes is
seven cents per k;lowatt hour, and
when these rates are compared it can
be easily seen that the power COM
pany is offering every inducement to
encourage the development of irriga-
ton from surface water The cost
OF operating a pumping plant by
electricity at this rate is about a
fourth of what the expense would be
as compared with gasoline engine
All OF the pumping plants in opera
ton in the valley at this time, save
one installed by the Dangberg com
p@ny. are pumping water from the
river. This electric company is sup
plying nearly all OF them with power
and Manager Campbell is interesting
himself in the subject OF pumping
water for irrigation.
While his main object is to sell
power, he is equally interested in
seeing new land brought under cul-
tivation and the AGRICULTURAL re-
sources OF Carson Valley and Ne
vada expanded He takes some pride
in achievements along these lines
and is making close study OF the

Humboldt Farmers Take the Law
to the Courts Which Means
a Test Case

WINNEMUCCA, June l4-State
Engineer W. NJ. Kearney was today
enjoined by an order of the district
court issued by Judge Ducker. from
proceeding to determine water rights
on the Humboldt river under the law
enacted by the last Legislature. The
law was attacked in bill filed by
IS ranchers along the river, repre-
sented by Cheney. Downer. Price &
Hawkins OF Reno, who claim that it
Is unconstitutional
The fight on the water law and on
its enforcement by the state engineer
is the sequel to bitter opposition
manifested toward the act when it
was upon its passage in Carson. The
Humboldt ranchers opposed the bill
and retained Judge Massey to speak
against it in committee OF the senate
In the specification OF objections to
the constitutionality OF the law many
sections OF the national and state
constitution are cited As violated.
he fourteenth amendment to the
national constitution relating to the
taking OF property without due pro-
cess OF law, is cited; the similar
article of the state constitution is
cited as the section dividing the
