SUGGESTION MADE
| FOR CORN GROWING
Some Advice For Boys Who Have En-
tered Corn Clubs and Viii
Cultivate Their One
Acre.

THE ENEMIES OF GRAIN

In view Of the fact that many Of
the boys Of Lee county are planning
to enter the Boys Acre Corn club,
the following from Greater Iowa"
concerning the growing OF an acre OF
corn may be interesting and OF some
service to the boys:
The first and very important step,
testing the seed corn, has been &C
complished. Planting time is at
hand, or just around the corner at
least. A good many contestants
selected their acre last fall; If not,
that is the next step. It is a good
plan to choose an acre adjacent to,
or part of good sized field OF
the same variety, for the reason that
an isolated acre has to face more
risk of injury from marauding stock
and pests of various kinds. squirrels,
COWS, grasshoppers, etc. The soil
should be fertile, loose and sweet;
also, it should be well drained. 1t is
beyond the ken of man to predict the
nature Of the season to come, but
low land, If properly drained, can
generally be depended upon to pro-
duce better and heavier than high
land. Ground that has previously
produced luxurious crops of clover.
alfalfa or legumeS, is pre1eraDle a.
ways. Alfalfa and clover are par
ticularly valuable in preparing the
ground for Germ growing, as the deep
ly-penetrating roots act as perfect
subscribers. The fine thing about
Iowa's soil for corn growing is that
it, needs none Of the commercial
fertilizers. In some of the acre
tests in the south, enormous yields
have been reported, but as they We're
achieved only through the abnormal
use of commercial fertilizers, profits
were reduced to a minimum figure,
or even wiped out entirely. All the
Iowa land needs is rotation of crops
and the application Of the abundant
natural fertilizers to be found upon
practically every farm. Wellrotted
manure is the best OF all fer
tilizers for corn land, and it can be
safely applied at the rate OF from
twenty to forty tons an acre. 1t
should be finely pulverized and thor.
oughly worked into the soil, else. II
it happens to be season Of deficient
rainfall, it will tend to waste rather
than to conserve moisture.

The Price of Gasoline.

Few motorists have felt confident
that the government could keep down
the price of gasoline. Another long
chapter of litigation might be begun.
But whether this would cut this price
is another question. The combine
might decide that the consumer ought
to be assessed another advance to pay
the cost of the suit.
More hopeful is the report that au-
tomobile manufacturing interests are
moving to form an independent COM
pany, to produce gasoline on their
own account.
The manufacturers of the motor cars
could hardly let the price go much
higher without serious loss to their
business. The costs of running an au-
tomobile are all ready high. With a
30-cent price of gasoline, many in
tending purchasers would conclude
that the walking will be very good
this summer. Also the railroads and
trolley cars get you to your destina-
tion quite promptly. The manufacture
ers must protect the public that uses
their product, or see their business
drop.

How to kin The Town.

Force the merchants to compete
with public street markets.
Do the city work with hobo and
Jail labor and give the workingmen no
employment.
Vote down all bonds and PROPOSE
tions to make public improvements.
Drive out all contractors and their
crews and minimize public expendi-
ture.
Supply free camping ground in the
city so all the hotels will go broke.
Close all amusements on Sunday
that people will go elsewhere for en-
tertainment.
Send away from the town for print
ing, dry goods and clothes and spend
your money on the mail order house.
See to it thatno corporation or pub
lie utility makes cent of profit
and keep all the foreign capital out.

most popular number in the Winter
Lyceum Course in this church and
many who heard him then asked for a
return engagement. We are glad to
announce him for this Sunday,
1t is an unusual privilege that will
be offered the people of Wauwatosa
next Sunday evening at 7:45 when Mrs.
Ida Yose Woodbury. of Boston, field
secretary of the eastern district of the
American Missionary Association,
speaks on ''The Test of Democracy, "
at the Congregational Church, this
city. Mrs. Woodbury. speaks at the
Grand Avenue, Congregational Church
Sunday morning. She is considered
one of the foremost woman orators in
the United States.
In small city like this the vice of
rash judgment is altogether too com
mon. Where people know nearly all
their fellow citizens there are some
who are so ungracious and so un-
Christian as to attribute an evil mo-
tive when the actions are prompted
by the best motives and they are
rather disposed to relish rumor that
reflects against neighbor. Everybody
commits indiscretions, either wilfu1-
ly or thru ignorance or weakness; but
harsh criticism and rash judgments
do not help the offender, but shoves
him down. The golden rule should
be applied in such cases.
What do the people of our town
know about their public schools. How
many of them ever go inside of a
school building, except on occasions of
special entertainments? What do they
know from personal observation?
They send their children there for six
hours every day for nine months of
the year and that is about the end of
it. The public schools are too much
neglected by the people. They are
left as it were to run themselves. One
can see GndU more SCnOOl FlolbdblOh
by parents would be great stimulus
to both teachers and pupils. Why not
give a little more attention to the
training in the school?
Have you noticed the color of the
paper used by most of the city daily
papers of late? Instead of being white
it has yellow tinge. This is due to
the scarcity of dye materials and is
what we are all coming to in the near
future. Colored print paper is used in
the average shop for bill work, etc., is
getting scarcer every day and it is
only question of time when it can
not be obtained at all. The colors at
present are decidedly dim and it looks
as tho the printer was cutting down
on expenses and getting an inferior
grade of paper. Such is not the case,
however, as the poorly-colored stock
OF today cost the printen more than
the gaudy colors of yesterday.
