Two Teachers Decline Places.

Two Of the teachers recently re-
elected to positions in the Leon
schools for next year, have notified
the school board they will not teach
here. Miss Doris Lake, one Of the
High School teachers expects to teach
elsewhere, and Miss Olive Gwinn,
one of the grade teachers at the
north building will not teach next
year as she expects to attend college,
At meeting held last week Miss
Addie Crawford, one Of the primary
teachers at the north building was
reelected, but the others have not
yet been selected. The board expect
ed to complete the work of electing
teachers last Monday night, but as
three Of the members. of the board
were out of town, no meeting could
be held.

Worlny Corn Kills Horses.

We have heard recently of several
instances where farmers have lost
horses, the animals dying from eat
ing wormy corn. Within the past
week Ogilvie & Follmer have lost
two valuable mares on the Geo. T..
Ogilvie farm a mile north of Leon
from this cause. Mr.. Ogilvie says
they had opened a new crib of corn
containing about nine hundred bush
els. On the top the worms had bad
ly eaten the corn, and Mr.. Follmer
in feeding the horses had picked out
the best corn. The dust caused from
the working of the worms in the corn
would sift down through the corn
and settle between the rows, and
they attribute the death of their
horses to eating this Wormy corn.
The mares were each worth about
5000 and the loss is quite heavy
one to them. Farmers who have
corn which is worm eaten should not
feed it to their horses. For the
worm dust contains poison similar
to smut on corn stalks, and 1t is
proving fatal to horses which eat it..
Feed your horses nothing but good
clean corn and If you have any corn
in which the worms have been work
ing feed it to your hogs.

Alfalfa Day Postponed on Account Of
| The Rrain.

The heavy rain last Wednesday
compelled postponement of Alfalfa
Day at A, H. Meters Weldon Mea-
dows farm east of Weldon, which
was to have been held on Thursday
1t was dandy good rain, 1.S9 inch
es, and just what the farmers need,
ed, but it made wheeling too heavy
for autos to drive to Mr.. Meters s
farm. He has set Thursday Of this
week as new date, and unless rain
interferes, there will be a big attend
ance, for many people want to see
his big twenty-acre field, and also
tho smaller patches. If you are in
;erested in growing alfalfa it will
pay YOU to make the trip to Weldon
Meadows farm today.
P.S From the looks of things as
The Reporter goes to press on We'd
nesday afternoon, Mr.. Meter will be
compelled to postpone again unless
he provides boats to travel in to his
farm
