CORN PLANTING
SHOWS PROGRESS
ABOUT G., PER CENT or ACREAGE

BE BELOW AVERAGE

Conditions Have improved.

Altho excellent progress has been
made by Marshall county farmers the
past week in the planting &c corn only
90 per cent of the acreage is planted
according to reports received AT the Of
flee of the county agent. Improved
weather conditions. the interchange OF
labor and an Improvement in the labor
situation were responsible for the
great volume of work done since Mon
day morning Farmers, who have been
unable to secure competent help. have
exchanged 10 Dor and have thus accom-
plished much more than would have
been the case had each farmer worked
alone.
The farm bureau also has relieved
the labor conditions by securing many
farm helpers. The applicants for farm
work the past week were more nu-
merous than at any time since the sea-
son opened.
Ground in Poor Condition.
The ground plowed this spring is
hard and cloddy and the work of pull
yerizing the soil has been difficult.
The farmer VINO plowed much of his
land last fall is the fortunate agricul-
turalist this year.
Because of the condition of the
ground and the -lateness Of the season,
the acreage of corn this year is not eX-
pected to be equal to that of a year
ago. The oats acreage will not be above
The average. but the fail wheat plant
ing was much above normal With
prospects of hot weather there may be
much late corn planting, but as con-
ditions are today there is fear of a
short season and not sufficient time
for the maturity of corn
Crop Conditions Good.
Generally speaking the condition O.
the growing crops is good, altho
oats are slightly backward in growth.
Fhe first report to be received of corn
up comes from the farm of Henry
Leise, east of Liscomb. where condi-
lions are reported to he excellent.
: The condition of hay and pastures is
excellent. There is promise of heavy
hay crop, both clover and timothy
weeks of the season.
There probably will be little alfalfa
grown in the county this year, owing
to~the- lack Of preparation OF the fields.
Lime for field treatment has not been
available in sufficient Quantity to pels-
NIT of extensive alfalfa seedlings.
Pastures are exceptionally good
where farmers did not carry too many
head of stock the previous year. The
acreage of soy beans this year will be
a record breaker, it being estimated
that fully $500 acres of corn will be
planted with beans.
When completed corn planting is ex-,
pected to be ten days , late. Without
early hot weather andfa long season
this delay may prove serious to the
Of the crop. x

STAMPS Sent TO Every Home


Stamps, Sent to Every Home.
Every home in the city and county
that receives mail by carrier is being
urged to buy war savings stamps in
circulars that are being distributed by
postmen. The circulars point out that
the family, income can either be
frittered away by thoughtless spend
ing or it can be saved and made to
earn an additional income by wise
spending.
Waste and insecurity. the circular
points out, are the result of a hand
to mouth existence, failure to prepare
for emergencies, and no preparations
for future opportunities. Greater re-
turn, satisfaction and security are
brought about by balancing the needs
and y means present and future,
thoughtful purchasing Of merchandise
and intelligent saving. 1t is urged that
the war savings stamps offer the safest
investment possible.

RABBIT SWlMS AND FIGHTS7
San Francisco Park Policecean's Re.
port Leaves Old Theory Corr
pletely High and Dry.

One by one the old theories are re-
vised or upset. There is widespread
tradition, backed by generations of OBJ
servation, that II rabbit can neither
swim nor fight But along comes Ser
geant MCGEE OF the San Francisco
park police with bombshel and when
the noise and smoke has cleared away
the germ of new theory is left, even
though hitherto unknown fact has
not been established.
According TO McGee, quoted by thc
San Francisco Chronicle, plain
everyday cottontail has suddenly APP
peared on the island in Stow lake and
driven everything else away Never
before has rabbit been seen on the
island. which is separated from the
mainland at its nearest point by fifty
yards of water.
albert Chacquette. guardian of the
lake and its waterfowl. was the first
person to discover the presence of the
rabbit on the island" said Sergeant
MCGEE in his report Prom the main
land sho. e he saw it IN furious combat
with big setting brant The battle
ended in the bird being driven into the
water and swimming, with loud
squnwks of dlsmay and protest. 10 the
mainland Every breeding mudhen,
goose and duck was similarly assailed
and expelled, Chacquette says, leaving
the rabbit in undisputed possession CT
the island.
"Chacquette," McGee's report con-
tinues. has theory that the rabbits
new-found pugnacity may be due to its
browsing too freely on the leaves OF
the juniper bushes that grow thickly
on the island. His idea Is that the
leaves fermented IN the animals stom-
ach. creating gin. which, as anyone
knows who has tried 1t. might make q
rabbit feel brave enough to tickle q
tigers nose and give him courage 10
attempt the swimming of the Golden
| Gate"
Anyway, the rabbits on L '-iand
and nobody has admitted helpiue
! 10 get there. Also, the waterfowl that
usually breed there at this time OF
year are gone. There may be no con
nection. hut there's mystery in II all
that nobody seems to be able to ex.
! plain
