SOME GOOD CORN.
Who CAN BEAT II?
'oIlr Ears Average Twelve And One
Half Inches in Length, And About
1900 Grains to The Ear, And
Weigh 6 Pounds And 3 Ounces.

While passing through their corn
field the other day, Mr.. George
Ralph, of the firm of G. S. Ralph d
Bro, noticed three or four nubbins
that looked to him like they repre-
sented fairly we'll their crop of corn,
so he picked them up and brought
them to this office to show US, that
under ordinary circumstances they
should make enough corn this sea
son to keep the family in cornbread.
The four nubbins which he picked
up averaged twelve and one-half in
ches each in length; there were
twenty rows of corn on them, and
the rows averaged from Sc to 90
grains each, so that they should
shell around about 1900 grains each
to the ear. Mr.. George Ralph, who
brought them to this office, stated
that he was not specially impressed
with their size, but more with the
fact that there was a prospect of
plenty of cornbread for next winter.
as he had almost suffered for the
past year or two on account of the
poor crops, and that ''Buddie" had
Jared even worse than he had. Be
these facts as they may, the four
ears are the largest white corn we
have seen this season.

Propagaing Roses
by Fail Cuttings

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 9.-Climb-
ing roses are propagated mostly by
hardwood cuttings made in the fall,
many cut flower roses may be propa-
gated in the same way.
Hardwood cuttings are taken
from the dormant wood of winter,
tings are taken when the plants are
in active growth. To make hard
wood cutting, good, strong, we'll
ripened shoots of the past summers
growth should be selected. These
are better if cut between the time
the leaves fall and freezing weather.
If left until after cold weather there
is danger of injury from freezing.
They should be cut into pieces of 5
or inches, with the upper cut just
above the bud, and should be tied in
bundles with raffia or with string
that does not rot easily if exposed to
dampness. After labelling plainly
they should be buried in moist sand,
tops down, and placed in cool eel
lar or buried in the open ground be-
low danger of frost. They should
be planted in the open ground in the
spring about or little before corn
planting time, so that one or two
eyes, or not over one inch of the cut
/ ting is above ground, which will
leave 4 or 5 inches in the ground.
Care must be taken not to injure the
calluses that have formed while the
cuttings were buried. Sometimes
better results are obtained by plant
ing in partial shade.
Frequently cuttings made in win
ter or early spring do nearly as well
as those made in the fall, but in the
North there is always danger of the
wood being injured during the win
ter,

EDISON AND . GIL. WORK
FOR WILSOh ) ELECTION
Spend Several Hours With Chairman
Mccormick Discussing Thc Cam
paign-EaSer 10 Cooperate In
Every Way.

New York, Oct. 9.-Thomas A.
Edison and Henry Ford conferred
with Democratic National Chairman
Mccormick last Friday. They also
lunched with him and Secretary of
the Navy Daniels. The four talked
for two hours about the wage earn
ers' vote for President Wilson.
Chairman Mccormick said: Both
Mr.. Edison and Mr.. Ford gave valu-
able advice as to the organization of
the Independent voters. They prom
1sed to cooperate with US in every
way"
Mr.. Edison said: Give the peo-
pie the facts and it will be a Wilson
landslide. l have always been a Re-
publican, but put my country above
party. In a world crisis, with the
fate of America in the balance, L
would take shame to myself if
did not put myself behind 4 man
who has given us peace with honor,
especially with justice, and prepared
ness without militarism'
Mr.. Ford said: Like Mr.. Edison,
l am a Republican. l cannot stay
with party that puts of1ice-seeking
first and America last. The Presi-
dent has saved the United States
from the horrors and dcSOlati0n OF
international war. His domestic pol
lcies have given new strength to
legitimate enterprise, protecting the
worker, emancipated the children
and destroyed the evils sapping the
courage of America. He is a great
President and the greatest American.
'Woodrow Wilson stands for
America undivided allegiance, for
equal justice and the welfare of the
many. Against him are the forces of
rapacity, special privileges, eager to
get back their loaded dice, the ex-
ploiters of children and greedy con-
cessionaires. 1t is their millions
against Americanism."

BIG EXODUS OF NEGROES
Decrease in immigration Because of
The European War is Causing En-
ployers to Offer Fancy Wages For
Common LabOrerS.

Leading industrial operators in the
South are beginning to regard with
alarm the large exodus of negroes
from Alabama, Mississippi and other
Southern States to accept jobs in the
industrial fields of New York, Penn
syfvania, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and
West Virginia. When the exodus
started several months ago it was re-
garded lightly. Then it was found
that labor agents were working
snaong the negroes and were offer
fsncy prices for common labor.
Negroes have left the "black belt"
AID the exodus is continuing at the
rate of from 500 to 1000 men a
week.
Various causes are assigned for
the exodus. The restriction on Euro
pean immigration which usually sup
plies the rough labor for the United
States has caused employers to look
to the South to supply this demand.
Others place a political significance
on the movement. They believe the
negroes are being taken to doubtful
States in the North where they will
be allowed to vote for President and
then be discharged and sent home.
In Admission, GadSden and Birm-
ingham, industrial centers of Ala
bama, drastic laws and ordinances
are being considered to check for
eign labor agents. Iron and mining G
interests are suffering because of the
shortage Of men. In other sections
the exodus is regarded as an eXcell-
ent thing for the South. 1t will
mean the breaking up of immense
plantations into smaller farms on
which white labor will be employed.
1t will mean a greater diversification
Of crops and force farmers in the
black belt" of Alabama to depend
less on the single crop. Since the
war they have raised cotton to the
exclusion of all other crops. Shift
ing Of the black population in dis
tricts where they outnumber the
whites six to one is regarded as a
good omen among progressive Sou
therners.
In many cases negroes who have
| gone to the North are eager to re-
turn home. In letters to friends they
! declare that they were deceived in
the promises of better conditions and
that their treatment has been harsh
at the hands of white competitive la
Dor. They are asking aid to get back
home. Again the cooler weather of
the North is causing many Southern
negroes to wish for their old homes
on the plantations.

SHOULD PLANT
FOREST TREES
Residents of Maryland Advised To
Take Advantage OF State Forest
Nursery, And Secure Standard
Trees At Cost.

With the coming of the fall season
the State Board of Forestry, 532 n.
Howard ST., Baltimore, is renewing
its offer to residents of Maryland to
supply them with standard forest
and roadside planting stock at cost.
The Nursery has been established
and growing trees for State improve
ment work since the spring of 1914.
The response with which it has met
has shown that the service which il
offers is appreciated generally by To-
cal landowners, and it has enabled
the extension of Nursery facilities to
meet a growing need.
While in the past not as much of
forest and roadside planting has
been. aone in the fall as in the spring,
there seems no reason, practically
throughout the State, why this
should not show steady increase in
the future. In fact, there are several
distinct advantages attached TO fail
planting which do not obtain IN the
spring. Labor is usually more plen-
tiful and cheaper, and the ground is
very frequently easier to work"
There are many reasons for utiliZ
ing the months of October and early
through planting trees along the
roads and on the farms of Maryland.
Among varieties on hand, in forest
trees, are seedlings and transplants
of white pine, loblolly pine. Norway
spruce red oak, and black locust; in
the roadside trees there are offered
larger red oak transplants, and larg-
er transplant stock in white ASH
honey locust, American elm, black
walnut, and tulip poplar. Prices
range from the 81 per thousand
charged for the small white pines, 10
IS per hundred for transplants of
black walnut four to five feet in
height. The rates on all of them
are very reasonable, as low as it is
possible to make them. Packing is
free, and instructions for planting
accompany each order.

DANIEL DEAN KILLED
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Stepped in Front of Automobile of
Thomas Horseman. of Drawbridge
District, And Killed Instantly.

Mr.. Daniel Dean, well-known
resident of Reids Grove, this coun-
ft5, was struck and instantly killed
Saturday afternoon, about four
O'clock, by an automobile belonging
to and driven by Mr.. Thos. Horse
man, Of Drawbridge district. A Coro-
nSr'S Jury was summoned short
time after the accident, and after
hearing the testimony of the wit
nesses to it, brought in a verdict that
he met his death as the result of an
unavoidable accident.
j The testimony at the inquest
showed that Mr.. Dean had walked
across the road to an automobile
truck, that had stopped directly op-
pbsite, for the purpose of purchasing
some lima beans. Mr.. Horseman
testified that he was not running
rapidly at the time, but that as he
approached he blew his horn, and
that when Mr.. Dean stepped from
behind the truck, in front of his au-
tomobile, he was not more than from
three to five feet away, and that it
was impossible for him to stop the
car or to avoid hitting him. The
oIhC1 "llHSSScS leSIl11eu 10 Iu6 1dcJ
that Mr.. Dean stepped almost direct
ly in front of the car, and did so so
suddenly that it would have been
impossible to have avoided running
into him.
The general accepted view was
that Mr.. Dean did not hear the horn
and did not know that an automo-
bile was approaching, and that, hav-
ing concluded his purchase, he had
started to return to his home across
the read, and that the machine was
so close to him when he stepped
from behind the car that he did not
have chance to even move, as the
car was only, at most, a few feet
away from him.
Mr.. Dean is survived by several
brothers and sisters. The funeral
services will be held this afternoon,
at Reid's Grove Church, at two
O'Clock, with interment in the
church cemetery

TRUCK DRIVER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Norville Collision Compelled to Ditch
Big Truck of Cambridge Ice Com
pany to Avoid Running Over Teans

While carrying load of ice from
Cambridge to Hurlock last Saturday
morning, Mr.. Norvilie Collision, the
driver of the big truck, which holds
about two tons of ice, was compelled
to ditch the machine to avoid run
ming into a team that stopped d1-
rectly in front of him and attempted
to turn around. The young man
jumped clear of the truck. and in
that way avoided being hurt. No
damage was done to the truck, on
ly a little ice being scattered around
A second truck was sent up in a
short time to help in getting the
truck out, the job being accom-
plished without much trouble. The
presence of mind and nerve of young
FIR. Collision probably averted what
might have been a bad accident.
