BEST VARIETIES OF CORN.
Test to lie Made by Northern New York
Corn Association.

An experiment that promises to be of
very great Importance to the dairy and
live stock interests of northern New York
is to be tried out the present season and
will be watched with much interest
During farmers week held at the school
of agriculture, at Canton, the officers OF
the northern New York Corn Growers
association, together with the farm
bureau managers OF Clinton. Franklin.
Jefferson and st. Lawrence counties and
other corn held a conference to
decide upon some plan whereby 1t might
be determined what variety or varieties
of corn are best adapted to northern New
York for ensilage purposes.
The reason for making this do:ermina-
ton is because OF the large number OF
different varieties tina are grown, many
of which are Of doubtful value to the corn
growers OF northern New York.
The following plan or experiment was
decided upon:
Ten different varieties are to be grown;
five of the flint variety and five OF the
dent variety. The ten varieties are to be
planted alongside each other on inform
ground and given the same care, fertiliza-
ton, etc, The ten different variety tests
are 10 ne tIlcu out III FOUR ulIIeTent places
In each county having a farm bureau
manage and also at the agricultural
school at Canton.
The different varieties in each test plat
Is to be planted on the same date and all
will be allowed to stand until danger from
frost Is apparent. At the time OF cutting
the farm bureau manager OF each county
will supervise the cutting and weigh the
corn from the same length of row OF each
variety and compute the tonnage per acre
He will also make notes on the adaptable
ity of zach variety to the locality in which
each test is made
The variety test at the school of agri-
culture will be conducted in the same way
as the Others, but in addition the corn OF
each variety will be run through an en-
| silage cutter separately. m after thor.
oughly mixing. a sample will be taken by
| Prof. II. w. storrs. chemist at the school
of agriculture and an analysis made.
| This analysis will show the amount con-
| tanned in each variety of water. protein,
| crude fiber. nitrogen free extract, ether

OIL TO PREVENT FOGS

For the year ending June 80. 1913,
the United States life-sav1ng service
reported 552 disasters at sea and
sixty-siX vessels lost on United States
coasts In addition there were 1.191
casualties to small craft. Probably
the greatest peril at sea arises from
the fogs that prevail in certais
waters. Heretofore. the chief reli-
ance of the navigator under fog
conditions has been on the whistle,
the horn, the bell and other appli
9nces to carry warning signals by
sound. The startling statement is
now made that by the use of oil
the dasger from fogs may be min
imZed and even averted. and that
such shocking disasters as the recent
collision of the Old Dominion liner
Monroe, in fog off the coast OF
Virginia, with the resultant loss of
fGrty-one lives, may be avoided. The
suggestion that oil can be used to

Silliman at SaltilIo

MEXICO CITY, July 1S.-John r.
Silliman, personal representative of the
president to CarranZa, arrived here
from Saltillo. 1t is believed he bears
a communication relative to the pro-
pOsal to grant recognition to the con-
stitutionalist government Immediately
if Carranza agrees to enter Mexico City
without further force of arms.
Several state governors appointed by
Madero and depOsed by Huerta have
just arrived in the capital having been
released from prisons where they We're
confined for many months. All of them
have been in close communication with
constitutionalist leaders and declared
today that until CarranZa arrived here
no steps would be taken to establish a
provisional government
AS the bulk of the Carranza forces
are now in San Luis POtOsi and the
railroad to this city is in good condi-
ton, it is generally expected that Car
rama and his troops will peacefully
enter the federal capital sometime next
week
Carranza is said to have ordered Ia
pata and other chieftains in the south
not to make any attempt to enter the
capital.

THE GHOSTS WON'T BITE

Now for the marsheling of the ghost
and the bugaboos. For it is apparent
that lot of the people are seriously
considering municipal ownership of the
public utilities now operated and eX-
plotted by the Big Con.
SO the hired advocates of privilege
will get busy. The old scarecrOWs and
phantoms that have done service i'll
every fight for Improvement in govern
ment will be brought forth.
For the way to fight municipal own
ership is to make the people afraid to
try it, No community that gives mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities a
fair trial ever goes back to private
ownership.
You will hear that municipal owner
ship would swamp the city with debt.
That it would greatly increase the tax
burden. That it would build up an in
vincible machine. That it would give
inefficient and costly service. That it
would discourage private enterprise.
Of course, the debt would be a lien
on the plant and not on the city. The
constitution of Ohio provides for that.
OF course, it could not affect the
taxes a penny, except as the car fare
might be raised or lowered And in
stead of paying the tax to private in
terests it would be paid to the city.
OF course, the people of Toledo have
shown their ability to break up any po-
litical machine ever constructed here.
OF course the cities that have tried
municipal ownership find that they get
better and cheaper service, while the
employees get better wages and better
working conditions
But. nevertheless, the same old
ghosts will be marshaled, and many
well meaning but timOrous folk will
SILVER with fear. Cheer up, the ghosts
won't bite you. They are so old thew
have no teeth.-From the Toledo News
