New Haven, July 25.-That Harry
Weaver, king-pin pitcher of the
Eastern league, will soon become a.
member of the Chicago club of the
National league, was the report cur
rent in local baseball circles last night
Chief Scout Jimmy Sheckard, OF the
Cubs, has been trailing Weaver for
nearly two weeks and believes that
the local brilliant is about ripe for
another chance under the big tent
Although Sheckard has made no over
lures to President Collins for the
purchase of Weaver it is known that
he has recommended him to the
club officials at Chicago. It is known
that Chicago will purchase him out
right rather than take a chance on
him in the draft net.

HOW TO TEST SEED CORN

With corn selling for the highest
price in history, farmers should be
particularly careful to test its value
before planting. The Ohio Experiment
station in five years investigations
found that with corn at only 80 cents
a bushel, testing seed for germina-
tion has paid at the rate of s6.S5 an
hour for time so spent. During this
period an increase of All bushels per
acre was realized in favor of tested
seed.
To test seed corn six kernels taken
from different parts of each ear are
kept moist for about week in germi-
nation boxes at a temperature of 500
to 750. The shallow boxes should be
partly filled with soil and marked
off in Pinch squares, and then the
ears should be numbered to cores
pond to the squares in the germina-
tion box. In this way any ears may
be rejected that have kernels which
fail to sprout.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1917-04-03

Although there IS no definite
scheme adopted, it is in general re-
garded that the basement will have
a cement floor and win be occupied
by heating apparatus. Space will also
be available TO store articles, II nee
essary.
In the first floor would be housed
both the fire truck and the police
emergency patrol There would prob.
ably be double-doors on the front OF
the building, leading into the rooms
where these are kept, although a sug-
gestion is made that the doors be
triple, so that there may be a gen
eral entrance to the second story.
The second floor would be devoted
entirely to the apartments OF the city
fremen and council chamber This
would follow the scheme Of the old
engine-house which is now the prop
erty OF the Methodist Episcopal
church. In addition to sleeping quar-
tiers for the firemen, there would be
a bathroom, as well as space in which
to place lockers for the use of the
firemen.
There is one suggestion that, in ad-
dition to fire quarters and the council
chamber, there be further room to
be used by committees of council
when they desire to retire from a
general meeting for consultation. 1t
has not been decided whether the
council chamber or the firemens quar-
ters should occupy the front portion
OF the second floor.
The building, whatever its final
plans be, will face east on Gay street.
This, then, would mean little change
in general location from the present
house, which is still being occupied.

Ohio Experiment Station
Bulletins
POTATO CROP ADVISED
TO PREcEDE ALFALFA

For sections where early potatoes
succeed, the Ohio Experiment station
recommends this crop as one OF the
best to precede alfalfa, since the land
is usually well fertilized and manured
and frequent cultivation kills nearly
all weeds before alfalfa is seeded
The potatoes can be harvested for
late July and early August alfalfa
seedlings, and good seed bed can be
prepared merely by disking and har.
rowing.
Field peas have also been found sat
isfactory when cut for hay as a pre-
paratory crop for alfalfa. Such mid
summer seedlings OF alfalfa have been
found by the experiment station more
satisfactory than spring seedlings in
oats or barley. Most alfalfa failures
are attributed to competition with
weeds and to nurse crops that provide
excessive shade and leave too little
moisture and plant food for the young
alfalfa.

TILE DRAINAGE PAYS
FROM LARGER CROPS

Crop yields may be increased sutIic-
iently by tile drainage in soils not
naturally we'll drained to pay for the
cost of tiling within a short time, ac-
cording to the Ohio Experiment sta
tion. At the Clermont County Exper-
iment farm in southwestern Ohio
drained land treated with complete
fertilizer yielded 21.7 bushels more
corn to the acre in 1915 than land SIM
ilarly treated but not tile drained.
Where manure was used an increase
of 344 bushels of corn per acre was
realized on land tile drained four
years before above manured land not
drained. Fertilized wheat land having
tile drainage yielded 81 bushels more
per acre than undrained land receiv-
ing the same treatment. Black soils
of glaciated regions universally need
underdrainage, soil experts say.
