MORE AND BETTER
CORN FOR 1911.

The three principal factors we con-
troll that determine the yield of any
crop are the seed, the soil and the care
given the land in preparation and cu!-
tiva'lon.
BE sure to have seed that you know
will grow. If you haven't alredy test
ed your corn, pick out about fifty
ears and make test of them. If
You don't get an average test of bet
ter than 30 per cent, you had better
make AN individual ear test.
The soil is the most important Of
the three factors. This should he fer
tile. and if it is you will have to
have definite rotation, involving
large use of Cloycrs, COwpcas, soy
beans, together with catch and cover
crop. of rye, rape, etc, to keep 1t
/. that condition. II it should happen
that It isn't fertile, the above crops
.pd IN a proper rotation will add the
fumas, which is foundation Of al
ra, and the nitrogen needed, it will
also rest up your land and build it up
permanently in these necessary cle.
mruDs. The pho5phorous we will have
.u hay, preferable in form Of raw rock
phosphate and turn it under with
.wc organic matter as manure or a
green crop. All that can benefit the
corn this gear IS an application of
manure, with rock phosphate if pos
-IU.c, or turning under a growth of
rye or sod with the phosphate applied.
lU either case, disc or better double
disc your ground well before plow-
ing. This not only cuts and mixes the
talks, sod and manure with top soil
truod under, but prepares a deeper
and better seed bed, conServes the
auution of land is much better,
much larger supply Of nourishmcnt

fertilizer is a good thing if used in
addition to above methods, but must

The Democrats sof Westerly. and there are surely a few of the true and tried variety, held a caucus in the town hall and made nominations for special purpose of concentrating their full force in the political battle for su- premacy in the town council. For first councilman as opponent to William Culley, who aspires to the presidency of the town council. the democrats have nominated Tristan D. Babcock, who has served as president of the council and who is considered one Of the best vote getters in the town of Westerly. In the last election MT. Babcock was defeated by Albert H. Langworthy, an acknowledged repub- lican leader. by only two votes. This was a remarkable showing in Wester- ly. where the republicans are in a large majority. In this same last election, Mr. Culley Mas a leader on his ticket, so q close vote is expected with MT. Babcock as his opponent
 Maurice w Flynn. who has served in the council four terms, will be op- posed by Harris F. Chapman. Charles B. Thomas, member of the present council, will be opposed by Arthur E.. Briggs, and the democratic opponent of Francis c. Haswe1l. another mem Der of the council will be Gorton F. Cottrell. The balance of the demo- cratic nominations for the council are: benJamfn J. SHTlSIlS lo oppooo OhoA ASS G. Craig. Dwight M. Cornell in oppo- sitfon to Thomas E Robinson and John A. Farrell. town committeeman. Rogers.
 The caucus was called to order by John A. Farrt1l, town committeeman. Arthur E. Briggs was chosen chair man and Charles D. Cornell clerk. There was a small attendance and the nominations were made without oppo- sition. No nominations were made for any of the town offices except councilman. nor were any of the re- publican nominees endorsed.
