ANOTHER DROWNING
AT OLD MILL DAM
VIM. SOBEY OVERCOME IN
EDDY.
Accident Happened While
Swimming with a Party OF
Young Men Last Friday After
noon Much Difficulty in Re
covering the body.

William Sobey was drowned in the
Pomme de Terre river at the old mill
dam early last Friday afternoon while
swimming with party of young men,
The sad news came as a shock to
the community and muck volunteer
assistance was rendered to recover the
body. On account of the swollen
condition of the river. and the swift
current, much difficulty was exper-
fenced in finding the body, tho several
expert swimmers and divers explored
the river. The body was finally dis.
covered by Tim Maloney from raft
with the aid of an iron rod, and
Robert Brown dived for it and brought
1t to the surface.
Young Sobey was himself a good
swimmer. but he became exhausted in
struggling with the swift current
He had returned that morning from
Grand Forks, where he had been
working for F. A. Hancock and ex-
pected to visit at home and spend the
Fourth with the band boys at Glen
wood. He had eaten hearty dinner
and then had ridden to the river on a
bicycle, and as the day was warm, ALI
conditions tended to promote exhaus-
tion in the water. He had been in
the water only short time and was
attempting to reach the shore against
the strong current when he was over
come. His associates tried to assist
him but without success.
This particular pool has been the.
scene of several drownings. The
river is deep there and the current
strong with treacherous undercurrentsy
VIM, Sobey was the son Of Mrs.

sympathy of the community is ex-
tended in her sorrow. He would have

Late Planted Corn for EnsiIase

44.
During the past month great deal
of rain has fallen in Minnesota and in
some sections corn fields on the level
and have, been drowned out. SiloS
havesbeen erected and corn is needed
to oil them. Corn may be grown
successfully for silage and fodder even
though it.,cannot be planted before
July 18th. Warm weather with plenty
of sunshine and freedom from rains
will cause the corn to grow rapidly,
especially in the North where the
days are long.
In sections where the land has been
prepared and corn planted but drowned
out, it may be best to replow the land
when it has dried out sufficiently.
On land that is not weedy, thorough
preparation with disc will be sufi-
cient. The corn can be drilled in
with an ordinary corn planter. Using
20 to 80 pounds per acre and planting
it in rows AZ inches apart. Good
seed should be used and thorough cul-
tivation should be given the land az
soon as the corn appears. 1t is sur
prising how rapidly corn will grow
under such conditions. Corn may be
planted after July 18th where there
is plenty Of moisture in the ground.
Corn planted so late. however. will
not make the best of ensilage, but is
much better than no ensilage. Such
corn cured in the shock will make ex-
cellent fodder. Prompt action as
soon as the weather settles is impor'
tant if a good supply of succulent
winter feed is desired.
