No fractional Fights-New Wage
Scale Will be Principal
Business.

Indianapolis, Jan. 12.--One thous-
and, seven hundred and eighty-One
delegates, representing approximate
ly 1000 members, will attend the
twenty-fourth international conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America, which will open in this

tuition, which provides that the con-
ventions shall be held biennially.
According to President John p.
White, of this organization, the con-
vention will be without any faction
al fights, which have enlivened pre-
vious gatherings of the miners. His
report. he says. will snow that the
membership has been almost d0ub-
led in the past two years. that the
organization Is in the best condition
in its history and that there is little
trouble except in Colorado.
A wage scale. to replace the pres
ent contract with the coal mine OPP
orators. which expires March 81
next, is the principal business. What
the miners will demand will be de-
termined by the delegates.

are being negotiated to avoid the
unnecessary suspension. -

TELLS JUST HOW HE DID IT

The Lexington Leader says:
The worlds champion corn grow
err. w. NJ. Hutson, of Bardwell, KY,
Carlisle county, is attending Farm
ers' Week" at the Experiment sta
ton, and is more or less the center
of interest as well as the recipient
of much questioning from his fellow
agriculturists and even the idly Gu
rious, who are anxious to know
How he did it,"
THE worlds record acre of corn"
which Mr.. Hutson raised on his farm
in Carlisle was 231 bushels and 81
pounds. The record acre was grown
the past season in competition with
the farmers of the entire United
States for a number of prizes offered
by a large seed corn growing con-
Germ in Ohio. Mr.. Hutson captured
the first prize of 500 in gold. which
was given to him on the first. of De-
cember. A remarkable fact in con-
nection with the raising of this enor-
nous yield is that its grower used
no fertilizer on the fertile acre.
In speaking of the method by
which he produced the remarkable
growth Mr.. Hutson said:
THE ground on which the corn
was grown lies east and west and
has slope Of about five feet from
west 10 east and is part OF valley
formed between two hills. II is al
luvial soil and is very rich. plow-
ed the ground eight inches deep and
followed with subsoiler five inches
deep. thus stirring the ground to az
depth of thirteen inches. The ground
was then narrowed twice and follow
ed with pulverizer, going twice over.
| then used plant drag to level the
ground and followed with roller
TO firm it. drilled the corn, which
was the Reeds Yellow Dent variety,
on May IA. dropping a kernel of
corn about every six and half
inches in the rows. laid the rows
off by hand about three, feet wide
and had twenty-siX rows in all upon
my plot. During the early growing
season | thinned the plants to a
stand of to IL inches, an average
of about 10 inches, and at the end of
the season had about 1000 plants
upon my acre.
II narrowed the ground before
the corn was up, and in eight days
after planting J began narrowing
with light one-horse harrow, going |
through the corn twice a week for
two weeks. then used a double
shovel pillow with small shovels, go
ing through II twice per week for !
two weeks. then hoed the corn, |
after which went through it three |
times with light harrow and block |
