A Many have the idea that, to start
ia right and grow good corn, they
mast send elsewhere. and get some
new fancy kind Of seed. Those who
do this are usually disappointed with
their first crop or9tWo. It takes some
time for corntto become adapted to a
change in climatic and soil condj
ions. For that reason, it is usually
best to secure a variety Of corn that
has been successfully grown in the

ecinl to the EHENrNa NEWS.

Special to the EVENING VIEWS.
South Amboy Feb. 13.--As
there a some objections to the

lished in yesterdays Issue of the

respondent detracted from the for
mer oficiary there was no intention
of thew ritter to have the matter SO
understood.
All know 1t is hard work to gather
material for a daily paper In South
Amboy that will be of interest to
any, and the NEWS correspondent In
inquiring about Jews to a person
not in any way identified with the
Presbyterian church received a sug-
gestion that as the new official body
had been making a number Of i'm.
provements, why not make mention
of the matter, give them q boost as
we'll as the other churches. Acting
on his suggestion the article that
appeared In the NEWS was written.
Not a person either In or out of the
Presbyterian church except the
writer knew anything about the arti-
Gle but the publisher, until it ap-
peared in print.
We do not desire to hurt any ones
sensibilities and If the correspondent
had been called this matter could
have been adjusted with far less
trouble. t.
