MAY INSPECT CEMETERIES
Racine County Board of Supervisors
Proposes Probe of Burying Plots
at County Institutions.


Racine-That a probe should be
made to determine the condition of
the cemeteries on the grounds of the
various county institutions, was the
consensus of opinion of the Racine
county board of supervisors when it
was intimated that the cemetery of
the Racine county insane asylum was
located in a slough, and unfit as a bu-
rial ground. Supervisor Knuth Hol-
land said that he made up his mind
to inspect the cemetery ground at the
Racine county poor farm when the
board went out last week to visit the
farm, but that he had to give it up
when he was told that it would be diff
d1cult to- reach it on account Of the
soft condition Of the ground.

DECLINE IN INF ANT DEATHS
Summer Statistics of State Show
Higher General Death Rate
For Season Past.

Although the infant death
rate is usually higher during the hot
summer months, state records for
July, August and September, 1916,
show 1896 deaths, distinct decline
from the average of nine years.
With the exception of slight vari-
alton each year, which cannot be sat
isfactorily explained, there is a mark
ed and steady decline in the number
Of deaths among children under one
year of age during the hot months.
This is due almost entirely, declares
the state board, to better knowledge
of how to feed and care for young
children.
Total deaths for the quarter were
6,652. This is 1,121 more than in the
same months last year.

WIDER SPACE IN CORN FIELD.


Manhattan, Kan, April 14.-''Piant-
ing corn rows twice as far apart as
the usual distance is a method which
should be tried in western Kansas
more than heretofore" says G. E.
Thompson, specialist in crops in the
division of extension, Kansas State
Agricultural college.
By this method. Mr.. Thompson ex-
plains, ground for corn is prepared in
the ordinary manner, the rows being
listed AZ inches apart but only alter
nate rows being planted, thus max
ing the actual rows "a inches apart.
All the ground is cultivated and han
died the same as if corn were planted
in each row.
When wheat seeding time comes,
the wheat is sown between the rows.
A gas or water pipe is bolted to the
front of the drill and the ends of the
pipe are bent out and backward past
the drill wheels. BY this arrange
ment, If one drives between the wide
spaced rows the wheat can be put in
rapidly with an ordinary drill, with
out knocking off many ears of corn.
