WEEKLY NEWS NOTES


Rate of Planting Corn When Using
| Poor Seed.
Numerous press articles have come
out recently giving rates of planting
corn when using poor seed Several
farmers have made inquiries as to
how thick to plant corn which had
terminated poor. 1t has always been
our recommendation to test each ear
and plant only those which test high.
rather than to practice extreme thick
planting. When planting thick the
chances are that frequently the poor
grains will group together and a hill
will be missed with the next hill so
thick that it will require thinning.
Without a doubt there is going to be a
severe labor shortage this season. 1t
would be better to spend a few hours
now testing your seed rather than to
plant thick and spend several DAYS
thinning during the busy season. OF
course if the corn is known to be
weak and each ear is not tested it
VIII be necessary to plant some thick

CORN DECEIVED
EXPERT JUDGES

That the value of seed corn can
not be judged by it's outward appear
ance has been demonstrated over and
over again this year. A sample of 11S
ears of Reds Yellow Dent sent to the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture for testing, illustrates
how the looks of corn may deceive an
experienced seed corn Judge. This
sample of corn was excellent in ap-
pearance, and it was examined by
several farmers who were good judg-
es of seed corn. All pronounced it an
excellent sample of Reid's Yellow
Dent and offered the opinion that it
would grow.
When the 118 ears were tested only
% good ones were found, II tested
81 per cent, % tested &c per cent, and
the rest, or 81 ears, failed to grow.

RECORD MANS HOME BURNED

The Allen eight-room home on
Scott street was destroyed by fire at
3 o'clock last Tuesday evening.
Miss Sarah Allen, after tie noon
meal, went to the parlor, in the first
story, and was chatting with Mrs.
Sharp, when Mrs. Clay Dawson, across
the street, notified her that the house
was afre, and she then rushed up
stairs to find her bed room ablaze.
She instantly gave the alarm, by
phone, and the neighbors ran to her
relief. The fire company responded
quickly to find the upstairs front
wrapped in flames. The fire hose was
attached to the fire plug, and every
possible effort was made to save the
building. The flames spread with
lightning rapidity, and in the mean
time the neighbors rushed in to save
the furniture, carrying out and pitch
ing out various articles.
When the flames were extinguishcd,
the charrcd walls only remained
standing, with the yard strewn with
damaged furniture, beds, clothing,
etc.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Supposed to be a defective flue or
electric wires.
The Record man is very grateful to
his friends, and can only say that no
one can fully appreciate New Madrid
people until his home is burned and
he stands amid the wreck, while being
offered refuge.
There was some insurance on the
property, but it will be totally made

JUDGE FISH SOME FARMER.
Regales Bellows Falls Lawyers With
Tales of His Prowess.

BELLOWS FALLS, July 1s.-Judge
+. L. Fish of Vergennes has been in
town today and caused CONSERVATION
among his fellow lawyers. He has been
telling that yesterday he helped Yer
gennes farmer in haying, pitching six
big loads himself and pitching off two
of them. He dwelt long on the descrip-
tive adjective "big' and added that
he left it to the farmer to say how
much he should pay for the work.
Local lawyers say that even if the
judge pitched all the hay he says he
did, asking them to believe that he left
the matter of remuneration entirely
with the farmer is altogether too much
Such course is contrary to the ethics
of the profession, they say, and wher
| Others can say how much lawyers shall
get for their work, matters have com,
| to pretty pass.

Judge Darling's Announcement.
(Rutland Herald

Charles IL Darling of Burlington dis
poses of two questions in his announce
ment, which appeared on the first page of
yesterdays Herald He makes it clear
that % he has mo intention, expecta-
ton or ambition to hold any other or fur
Their Office than that of governor: (2)
that he has frankly endorsed the nostrum
of national prohibition.
For another thing, Judge Darling comes
frankly into the open and proclains him
self candidate, which disposes of various
accusations of "gunrshoe politics" and
gives him rank as fair opponent of Mr..
Howe, in whose proposal of making the
winning of the war a prime essential of
state duty he proposes to participate.
The Herald heartily commends Judge
Darling's plank on highways. He says in
this relation:
during the war our taxes have not de
clined but our highways have. Our high
ways must be improved to meet the new
conditions"
| The announcement is short and as a
platform it has distinct merits What il
may lack in original or constructive
thought it may gain in conservative APP
peal The Herald, of course, does not agree
with Judge Darling in relation to national
prohibition. It does not consider his pc
sition sound. neither does it attempt tc
reconcile his eloquent public arguments
for local option with his present cham
pionship of prohibition.
On the whole, the document is very
1 much what people must have expected
who are familiar with Judge Darling
mental. processes and will no doubt ere
ate certain amount of enthusiasm il
such circles.
