It was at Mulga. among the foot hills in the western part of Jefferson county The time, last Monday after noon. There was excitement in the min ing camp.
 For several hundred feet about the tirple and shaft of Nulga mine the area had been roped off and about these guard lines the meagre population of he camp watched with bated breath Inc activities near the shaft. Every rumble and sharp ring announcing that the huge cable was about to bring a mine car quickened the intensity of the occasion. It was the death watch! !! The people, black and white, were in groups, but here and there about the natural amphitheatre that sur rounded the mine shaft and power houses were few isolated figures All leyes were turned on the giant tipple which loomed gaunt and black heath lappropriatey frowning skies
 There had been an explosion in the mine that morning How terrible the toll of human life; how many families to lose a son or father. none were cer- tains and the stolid faced watchers 
 waited to know the worst.
 That morning nearly 300 white and negro workmen had plunged down the mine shaft to the haulage level. 240 feet below, in a happy mood. There in gangs they had separated in the vari- ous entries for the appointed task of the day It was the beginning of the week and hope. ambition and energy were in the brain and brawn of the workmen. And death 1urked just around the corner.
 few minutes before 9 o'clock between the ninth and tenth entries on the north haulage nearly mile from the shaft, ar explosion occurred. In a moment Is lives had been snuffed out and IS others were choking and gasping from the effects Of after damp in their lungs. There had been no warning. Two miners had walked into the ninth entry into a gas pocket and as the fiicl<ering light of the miners lamp struck the highly explosive gas there was a flare of light a dull rumble and then rush of poisonous air. It vas over in a second.
 There were approximately 130 men work ing near the scene of the explosion. How they escaped is due to the cool-headed-

RAISE CORN
FOUL LAND

Land can be summer fallowed with a
corn crop and will produce extraordi-
nary large crops OF wheat, barley or
oats, especially oats. My experience
is that where the land is very foul with
wild oats it is just about as good to
summer fallow the land, for il you seed
foul land it requires continuous cultiva-
ton. Where corn is planted one must
keep hoeing to kill oats as long rs they
keep coming SO that none go to seed.
Since corn will not mature for fall plow-
ing the hoe must be used. Wild oats
will not winter-kill on our bench land,
making necessary lot of labor if the
land is to be thoroughly cleaned.
Ii one puts foul land into small grain
the following season with spring plow-
ing you will get very clean crop.
Wild oats being one OF the most per-
sistent of seeds will lay dormant and
sprout at the first opportunity. The
land should be prepared for corn as
we'll as any other crop, and corn should
be planted for number of seasons.
The second crop will be easily cultivate
ed and wild oats will bother very little.
Corn will then prove profitable crop.
On our bench lands try big yellow dent.
and if properly cultivated should yield
from 40 to 60 bushels per acre, the sea-
son OF course having something to do
with it. This variety has large cob
which dries out and can be left in the
field till late in the fall, usually all win
ter. II not in too windy place SO the
stalks are lodged on the ground the
ears stay dry and bright. The
ears being large makes harvesting cas-
ier. For silos big yellow dent excels
dent by not less than one-third in tom
mage. Little dent is splendid corn,
has very small cob, yields from Is to
80 bushels per acre, but on account of
the small ears is tedious to harvest.
However this is the variety for the
higher or plateau land where short
er season prevails. It should be gath.
cred with all or part Of the husk which
will keep it bright where the climate
gets damp early in the fall.

About Planting Corn.

An exchange prints the following:
Seed corn should be shelled by hand
Careful hand shelling pays the man
who plants but few acres, and it pays
to greater degree the man who plants
hundreds of acres. Each ear should be
shelled separately into a hand sieve.
This permits the chaff from the cob to
fall through and the kernels from each
ear to be closely inspected before being
dumped into the general supply. The
value of this close inspection is lost II
the ears are run through corn shelter
and some OF the kernels cracked and
broken
