LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT SUMMER SCHOOL
High School Conference of Principals Attracting Con-
 siderable Attention

tuscaloosa, June 16.-(Specia1) )-Today the University of Alabama authorities re- port lnd' the total number of summer Schoni students registered is near 700. rms nunlDer is close to the high water mark registered last year and Dean Dos ter or the summer school predicts that lasS years c.t' ciiment will be surpassed.
 Among the interesting features of the summer school is the high school con ference which kegan yesterday afternoon "Ith an address hy President George H. Denny of the university in which he touched on illiteraCy in Alabama and the school tax amenGrnent to the constitution which he adyocafed.
 With the exception of one or two, every county nigh school principal in Alabama IS present at the conference, which is presided over by Superintendent of Edu. cation Wliian F. Feagin. Tuscaloosa people are taking advantage of the visit or the high school principals and are showing them the many various objects or interest around the city. Many of the school men are interested particularly in the scheme that has been carried out here through the aid of the federal gov- erniYent and city health authorities in making .his model city and county from the poInt of view of sanitation and health. Last fali, following the development of 4" number of cases of fever, the city health officers, together with President Denny of the University of Alabama, se- cured through the state board of health the direct aid of the federal government toward making Tuscaloosa model for the state. As result of the work of the various government men typhoid fe- yer has keen eliminated in Tuscaloosa and malaria, which so many southern cities are cursed with, will within a short time, say the health officers, be a thing of the past in Tusca loosa. The co-opera- tlcn of the people of Tuscaloosa brought about through publicity and initiative is an object lesson to the visiting teachers
 AlnCIg the visiting high school men who nave addressed the conference are Prof. j. B. Hobdy, rural school super visor; Miss Foster, who is in charge of the iliteracy work in Alabama Prof P M NcNelll of Jefferson county; R. E. TidWell, who is in charge of the educa- tional department of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, and Prof N. R. Baker of Jefferson county, as we'll $ others.
 In addition 10 illiteracy one of the main themes of the addresses by the visiting educators was the school tax amendment to the constitution. It is understood that every county high school principal pres- ent is in favor of this amendment ana it is understood that this body will in a short tine organize and make a de- termined fight for the passage of the proposed .aw.

TRADE CURRENTS INDICATE REACTION

New York, June 16-Bradstreet's tomor- row swill say: @z
 Trade currents, following the reaching of maximum expansion, seem to indicate a further gradual contraction, at least as regards new buying. But the situa- .tion, except in comparatively few lines lumber for instance-is strongly but tressed by filled up order books which insure activity in industrial quarters for sometime to come, Lower ocean freight rates, enlarged dividends, evidences Of renewed heavy buying of steel for for eign account and the perfecting of a $50,000,O00 loan to Russia are also signifi- cant features. Notwithstanding that the time for seasonal quiet has arrived ac- tivity in essentials is marked, though ull- attended, of course, by symptoms of fever ishness such as characterized purchases while ago. Instead, there has come orderly. steady buying, with evidences of prudent disposition to eliminate up- bidding as well as to guard against sud den downward shifts in prices.

CHAMPION CORN %

How, an lows Farmer Has Achieved
This Distinction. j
Raising 141 bushels of corr on an
acre at an expense of only $13.73 for
rent, seed. horses, labor and husking
helped make Willard Zeller. an Iowa
farmer, the champion corn grower of
the world, according to nm article in
the current issue of the Farm and Fire
side. And when it is said that much
Of that corn has longer ears. bigger
kernels and smaller cobs than any 9th
er orr the record is complete.
This is how Mr.. Zeller raises the
champion corn:
Very early he came to understand
that the one biggest thing in the corn
business was good seed and systemat-
ically began to develop 1t. A germina-
ton test was made Of a large number
of ears, and from among them ten
ears, all Of which tested 100 per cent
perfect and strong, were selected.
Three hundred kernels from each of
these ten r planted. and the
corn from each ear was planted in q
separate row. All grades of quality
were represented, the best ear yielding
118 bushels to the ere and the poor
est yielding only thirty-seven bushels.
But he was not satisfied with n
test. He was anxious to verify his
experiments and planted corn from the
same mother ears under similar con-
ditions the next year. The results
were also similar. The ear which was
best the first year was best this year
also and produced a yield Of 1T bush.
els, and the poorest a was again
poorest with a yield of t~hirty-flve
bushels. .
The third year, under similar condi-
tons. there was the same great differ.
ence in quality among these ten orig
inal ears from which the test was be-
ing made. the first being again first
with ia bushels. and the poorest being
again poorest with thirty-four bushels.
The soil is plowed to a depth Of sew.
en- inches in the fall. Early in the
spring it is narrowed to make a dust
mulch. By the narrowing it seems that
the small capillary-like openings in the
ground are broken. and the moisture
that would otherwise escape remains
in the soil. Just before planting the
ground II: disked and then harr6wed
again. With the soil soft andsane and

. HOW TO SELECT SEED BEANS. q

} The United States department
} Of agriculture gives the following
, advice:
, Get seed from your own crop II

, pods in your own crop try to BE-
cure clean pods from a more for
, tunate neighbor.
, Select In the pod, not after
, thrashing.
, Pick pods free from all spots.
, Spots on the pods mean that an
, thracnose, or bacterial blight,
, may be hidden in the seemingly
, clean bean.
, Thrash selected pods.
, Examine your thrashed seed
, carefully and throw out all
, doubtful looking beans, especial
, ~ those that are spotted or shriv-
, eled.
, Rotate. Don't replant old bean

, and rotation are the best crop in

. II you have to buy your seed

. chased seed. Do not plant If the
, thrashed seed looks suspicious.
, Look ahead. Insure a supply
, of clean seed for 1917 by select
> ing seed from clean pods and
, planting it on clean land in 1916.

Tho cevsrsd Manure shed.

AIN
A popular method Of caring for ma,
nure is the covered manure shed. To
obtain the best results the shed should
be provided with a cement door In.
clined at each, end to allow u spreader
to be run in at q end and ont at the
other. The sides should be sufficiently
high to contain all the MANURE to be
stored. The manure. should be placed
evenly over the floor and that from
horses. cattle. sheep and hogs mixed.
to prevent as far as possible aerobit.
fermentation and consequent loss OF
nitrogen. The cattle in the yard should.
De allowed to trample over It. and II
may be worked over by the hogs With.
out much danger Of loss. In addition,
to being j storehouse for manure. the
shed furnishes a shelter for farm ami
mails. which will compact the manure
so that the aerobic fermentation re-
sponsibie for the loss Of nitrogen Will
be largely prevented.

BULGARIAN TROOPS UNSHOD;
SOLDIERS MAKE SANDALS

Berne, Switzerland, Aug. 2.-Accord-
ing to reports here, the Bulgarians
and Germans have about half mill
ion men ready for an attack upon
Salonih. The greatest difficulty the
Bulgarians have had TO contend with
is the lack of shoes. A Swiss doctor
Just returned from Sofia says that
fully half the Bulgarian forces are
without shoes, which civilians also
find with difficulty at prices running
from eight dollars pair upward.
Bulgaria, without shoe factories
and tanneries, is also short of hides
The entire stock on hand has been
distributed among the troops. The
soldiers are cutting them up them
selves and make a crude kind of san
dal such as served as footwear for
900 Bulgarian, Serbian and Turk
ish soldiers during the Balkan wars.
Tourist and military boots sell for
$2S to $50 a pair when they are to be
had. The government has advertised
for leather, offering four dollars
pound, without avail.
