Cnld Weather Follows Rain

Following close after the storm and
rain of last Sunday, cooler weather ar
rived here promptly, and put everybody
to thinking of winter. Monday night
the temperature fell rapidly and Tuesday
morning the mercury in our thermome-
ter stood at SO. At other places it pos
sbly was lower in the tube. There was
plenty of frost to be seen, but very little
damage was done.
Reports of snow and cold come from
various places to the north and south of
US. At Nashville, Tenn, frost occurred
Monday. Only four times in the history
of the weather bureau has frost fallen
earlier at that place.
In the mountains about Frostsburg
snow and hail is said to have fallen last
Sunday afternoon.
At Duluth, Mimi, shipping was made
dangerous because of snowladen gale
which at times reached velocity of Ct
miles an hour.

Big Rains Relieves Water
Shortage Here.
First Rain Last Wednesday
Numerous Showers Since.

Numerous Showers Since.
After long spell of dry weather, and
during which time water became very
scarce at this and many other places in
this state, good shower of rain fell in
this community last Wednesday after
noon, and in measure relieved the wa
ter shortage. Evidently more water fell
in the mountains at that time than at
Thurmont, as the streams made show
ing to that effect. Thursday and Satur-
day evenings rain fell, the street light
being on since Thursday evening.
On Sunday afternoon very heavy rain
fell at this place, and for time the wind
blew gale, but no damage was done by
either.
From various places in the Maryland
come reports of much damage being done
by wind and water Sunday afternoon.
The Monday morning Frederick Post,
says:
"a wind storm that approached the
proportions of cyclone struck the farm
of Mr.. Stanley Knock, between Linthi-
cum and Woodbine, Howard county, at
o'clock Sunday, and continued into Car
roll county for distance of ten miles.
The cyclone was at least 300 yards wide
and in Is minutes destroyed thousands
of dollars worth of property. On this
farm all of the buildings were lifted from
their foundations and the farm house
partly shifted from it's foundation. Ev-
cry tree on the farm was uprooted.
From Mr. Knock farm the cyclone
travelled north to the farm of Scott &.
Mercer, where several trees were up
rooted, live stock killed and some small
buildings destroyed.
From this farm the cyclone into Car
roll county. On Albert Gosnell's farm a
large storage building was completely
demolished. DR.. S. T. Hess, near Wood
bine, was hit hard, many of his build IS
being wrecked 1t is thought his loss
will amount to about 5000. Mr.. Harry
;treaker, of near Barrett, lost three corn
houses and a wagon she'd "
Later report tell of much more dam
age being done in Carroll county.
Port Deposit, Md, was struck by a
storm Sunday afternoon, the property
loss being estimated at $4,000. One
person was killed and several severely
injured.
At Lower Marlboro and Prince Freder-
lex, in Calvert county, Md, the cyclone
did considerable damage, not one hou Sc
in the former place escaping uninjured.
1t is thought the loss caused by the
storm will total about $500, 900.

Daily Hints on Farm Topics

fields. The owner was also asked what
he considered the stand to be-. OF the
sixty people asked, none placed the
stand in the particular field below
eighty per cent. The farmer himself
claimed that there was above ninety
per cent of stand. Upon going into the
field and actually counting, there was
stand. In many other fields with
which have had experience, I have
found the same conditions to obtain. A
field with sixty-three to seventy five
per cent of a stand and producing any
where from sixty to seventy-f1ve BUSH
els Of corn per acre Is not coming up
to the possibilities lying within it. This
infers, Of course, that the soil is Of good
quality and could easily support full
stand.
Planting Thicker not Good Practice.
There are people who think that if
the seed corn is poor they may plant
1t thicker and secure the same results
as though good seed had been used
This Is a fallacy, because the probable
tiles are that many times several of the
bad kernels get into one hill; in other
instances the good ones might be piled
up in another hill. This would mean
that the hill which received an over
supply Of good kernels would have the
productive power Of each stalk cut
down by the crowding. In the other
case. the hill which had received the
bad kernels would not be producing
what the plant food in the soil at that
point would enable it to produce if the
stalks were thicker. The srowding in
the hill that had too many stalks would
tend to weaken some stalks and make
them barren. These barren stalks are
pernicious in field. The pollen from
them flies about and fertilizes good,
strong ears and tends to reproduce
barrenness in such instances. Planting
thick might be excusable il one might
go to the trouble Of thinning the hills
that have too many. This can only be
done to advantage where one is grow
ing a small amount of corn such as
would be the case In truck-farnling or
in small farming.
RepIantins Pernicious Practice.
Replanting corn is never to be coun-
tenanced where one can avoid it by
any means possible. If there are a few
spots in the field which worms or ro-
dents devastate, 1t would usually be
better to work them up again and
plant the affected areas over complete
ly. Where one plants in after the main
stand has come up, the ,replanting Is
always behind in the race. When pol
lenation time comes, this younger
stand does not receive vital pollen. Con-
sequently. the ears which grow upon
these stalks are usually hubby and Of
little val"e. There is very little gain in
replantng corn except the fodder. If
the soil of field shows poor stand, it
will usually be better to work the soil
up and plant it all over
