!, THE 1915 CORN CROP IN MIS-
, SiSSlPPI.
) And Things to Consider.

l. Good seed: If you haven't field
selected seed buy it close home.
2. Soil: A soil filled with humus
and we'll drained is ideal A deep, we'll
prepared soil is essential for aeration
root development, and conservation OF
moisture.
8. Fertilizer: Barnyard manure is
hard to beat. 1t should be applied early
and worked we'll into the first three
or four inches of the top soil. The high
Price of ready mixed fertilizers makes
il necessary to use them very careful
~. Four hundred pounds may be used
on good soil. Nitrate of Soda may be
used at the rate of 100 pounds to the
acre when the corn is waist high.
A. Weeds and grass: Keeping the
weeds and grass down at the Illinois
Experiment station gave an increase
of 1856 bushels over a field in which
the weeds and grass were permitted
to grow.
!. Corn roots: A great majol ity OF
the corn roots are in the plowed soil.
Cultivating deep may be done when
the ulants are small, but cultivate
shallow after the plants get more than
foot high.
G. Cultivating: Caltivating the soil
warns it in the early part of the year
and cools it in the summer. Cultivating
conserves the moisture.
IMPLEMENTS.
z. Turning PIow: First break the
soil deep in the fall, or if broken in the
-sring just a little deeper than the
yea fore. Don't pillow soil that is
too wet.
s. Section harrow: In the case
of spring breaking harrow immediate
ly after bro aking. Again just before
planting. and again just before the
little plant begin to come through,
and again after the plants are up, and
then agafr 'before the plants are more
than foot high.
.. D1s harrnw: The disc should
be used to tear up turfy sod. recent
" broken. and to freehen the seed
bed before planting. Properly used
the disc can do in. q few hours what
it would take days to do with a turn
ing pillow and do the work better. If |
the soil was plowed well last winter, !
the disc will put it in fine shape for
planting. If the soil has been recently |
broken, all that will be necessary, in

siderable weeds and grass, will be |

FOURTH ANNUAL CHAUTAUQUA

The fourth annual Chautauqua will
be held in the very heart of the city
of Wausau, July 9th to 18th, being
conducted this year in a tent on the
Washington school grounds, opposite
the post office.
Arrangements have been made with
the University of Wisconsin which is
furnishing the Chautauqua association
with the tent and seating capacity
and guarantees that the equipment
will be able to take care of any wealth
er conditions that might arise.
While this way of holding Chau-
tauqua is rather an innovation to
Wausau, as heretofore our Chautau-
qua has been held in the magnificent
pavilion at Lake Wausau, but on account
of the long distance from town, the
management has been requested to
conduct it within the city to enable
the people in general to attend as the
street car fare has been a serious item
of expense to many families and as
the Chautauqua is intended especially
for the not wealthy class of people,
being in fact, a summer course of the
very best lectures and music obtain
able, it was thought wise to comply
with the request.
Our citizens are therefore urged
to avail themselves Of the opportunity
and demonstrate by their attendance
their approval of the course taken
by the board of directors.
Secretary A. c. Schmidt announces
that in addition to an excellent pro-
gram, which will be published in full
next week. arrangements have been
made to conduct children's play
ground work every morning on the
Chautauqua grounds; yhile every af-
going on, these workers will take
care of the little tots in the school
building so as not to have them dis
turb the sessions and at the same time,
entertain them in a profitable manner.
In connection with this, Secretary
Schmidt is giving out several thous-
and Chautauqua pins, which will en-
title the youngsters to free admis-
sion to all the children's work.
The last day of the Chautauqua,
Saturday, will be rather unusual IN
the fact that it will be a Wausau day,
the afternoon being given over to a
magnificent children's program, or
| pageant, and the evening will be de-
voted to a program made up entirely
of Wausau talent.
We understand season tickets will
| only be sold to those who subscribed
| during the past Chautauqua or who
| will otherwise obtain them from the
/ secretary and no season tickets Will
| be sold after the gates open for the
| Chautauqua. This does away with the
| bother of people having to take more
/ tickets than they need and then try
| ing to sell them to their friends which
| has often proven disagreeable and
! also tended to demoralize prices; sc
| all season tickets that are wanted
| must be obtained before the opening
/ of the ChGutauqua.

MEMORIAL SUNDAY OBSERVED
Impressive Service In Honor of De-
ceased Soldiers of the Civil War
At the NJ. E. Church.

The commodious nature of the build
ing, the beauty of the surroundings
and the thorough provision made for
the comfort of old soldiers in our
National Soldiers Homes furnished a
starting point for Rev. W. D. Bancroft
in his Memorial address at the Metho-
dist church Sunday afternoon at 800
o'clock. The speaker illustrated the
present peaceful condition of our
country by reference to the harmless
ness of the obsolete weapons and
shells used in the civil war, that adorn
the grounds of the Homes. He paid
a tribute to the sacrifice and heroism
of the boys in blue as well as the boys
in grey; while he humOrously re-
minded them that probably most of
them enlisted under the stimulus of a
mingled feeling of patriotism and the
love of novelty and adventure. Con-
demnation of the comparatively few
men who brought on the war, and the
army supply houses who got rich on
shoddy supplies; a reminder of the
political chaos that marked recon-
struction, and a desire that soon all
possibility of such terrible struggles
might cease, occupied the remainder
of very interesting address.
r. S. Scott, on behalf of the Young
Peoples union, of which he is presi-
dent, spoke briefly, and laid emphasis
on the real meaning of patriotism.
He pointed out that love of country
is best expressed in an everyday life
of honesty, integrity and unselfish-
ness in all business and social rela-
tions. Thus, he pointed out, the heri-
tage from the sacrifice of our soldiers
could be best conserved.
Prayer was offered by Rev. D. ].
Williams; Scripture was read by Rev.
John Lloyd, and the benediction pre-
nounced by Rev. W. H. Gould.
The church quartet, composed of
Ows, Messrs. w. X. Mitchell and ].
A. Rowley, with marked effect. san 6
two anthems, REST, Soldier, Rest"
and "The Unseen City" An organ
prelude, Funeral March," by Chopin,
and a postlude, National Airs" by
F. L. Hoyt, fittingly opened and closed
a beautiful and impressive service.
AS the veterans left the church,
each one received a beautiful red car
nation from a committee of young la
dies representing the Epworth league.
The auditorium presented hand
some appearance in its decorations of
flags of our country, and flowers, and
much credit is due Rev. Richard Evans
for this and for looking after the de-
tails which made Memorial Sunday,
1916, a success.
