 Here in my neck O woods for in stance the season is barely long enough for corn, if full advantage is taken for every. day. If planting is unduly delayed, ripening will be late and the immature fields be exposed to the danger of serious frost damage.
 Therefore I plant my field corn just as early as I dare-and sometimes a leetle earlier than many think safe This year it was, so far as know, the first piece planted in my town. Many others were not planted till a. full two weeks later. Result, that early plant ed corn was already glazed as to ear before even the. early frost sent it's chil1 warning over the northwest hills. It had got beyond the danger line, owing chiefly to. its early planting. bors, all with bigger fields than mine, told me separately, that their corn was absolutely ruined. It was yet hardly 'in the milk, and the frost had not only tremendously damaged the stalks but utterly, spoiled the grain.

die ball with deftness and certainty.
One reason for this is his fine arm.
There are no infelders who will make
less throwing errors than Pratt. He
almost compares with Peckinpaugh in
the uncanny ability 70 shoot ball
from any angle and yet time the run
ner.
Pratt has not been appreciated in
81. Louis, and this has been reflected
in his work. He is neither snowy nor
of the aggressive type, and a ball
player who remains for years in any
one town must have some picturesque
ness about him if he is not to be taken
as matter Of course, though he may
be a first rate player.
To our mind, he is an underrsted
