DEVELOPS A NEW CORN
FOR UPPER WISCONSIN

A variety of cold resistant corn has
betn developed from Golden Glow
Wisconsin number II by B. ID. Lelth
0. the agronomy department of the
University OF Wisconsin.
variety OF corn that would mature
sufficiently for the best quality OF sill
age and at the same time give the
greatest possible amount of forage
was needed for upper Wisconsin. The
Experiment station set out to develop
conditions. A two-year trial in the
no. them part of Marinette county
proved that the new strain was sup
erior to the common number II or
uoiuen Glow corn in coming up earl
/, Ter in the spring and keeping this lead
so that it was mature earlier. The
corn was also grown III some OF the
other lake counties with equally en-
couraging results.
According to Mr.. Leith the big thing
| is to get the corn in the ground earl
Ter than you would the common var
ieties, as it has been developed to re-
sist the cold wet springs that occur i'll
the northern counties Of the state.
The COIN has not gone through the
regular, eXperimG ntal stage to state
definitely whether the corn will be
superior to the established varieties
now being grown" says Mr. Leith
"A wide distribution OF seed will not
be made until it has been tested out
for five or six years to permanently
establish as a variety OF sufficient mer-
it to displace the varieties now being
grown"

DEATHS.
RivIa.

John Preston Bixler, of Hagerstown,
representative OF a correspondence
school, was killed Tuesday night while
an automobile in which he and John
D. Trimmer and Lester E. Snyder,
also of Hagerstown, were riding,
plunged over 16-foot embankment
INTO the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
opposite ShepherdstoWn.
A heavy fog prevented Snyder, who
was driving the machine, from clearly
seeing the road. Snyder and Trimmer,
who sustained decorations and bruises,
swan ashore and went to the house Of
w. H Knode, nearby, for assistance
An hour later Bixler's body was re-
covered. His. neck was broken in the
plunge. The automobile, which was
submerged and wrecked, was pulled
out of the canal
Before a coroner's jury, which found
a verdict of accidental death, Trimmer
and Snyder testified the party was re-
turning from Hagerstown from busi-
ness trip in West Virginia.
The road, after leaving the steel
bridge across the Potomac river. takes
a sharp turn toward the small bridge
over the canal. Instead of following
the road, Snyder, unfamiliar with the
highway, drove straight ahead and the
automobile tumbled into the canal.
Mr.. Bixler was sofko Mr., and Mrs.
George A. Bixler, this city and follow

THE TRACTOR
DEMONSTRATION

COUNTY ENTER MACHINES SEVERAL
HUNDRED PEOPLE ATTEND.

The tractor demonstration which
was postponed several times on ac-
count of the wet weather was held
on Mr.. Frank Thomas farm on the
south side of Westminster last Sat
urday. Several hundred people, in
GLIDING many prospect buyers, watch
ed with interest and much criticism
the working of the tractors. All the
agencies in the county had tractors
entered. There was no judging or
competition, it was purely a demon
stration. The prospective buyers
were the judges. The demonstration
was organized by Shaffer & Mowen,
of Westminster, in cooperation with
County Agent Fuller.
The field of Is acres was laid off
into eleven plots running parallel with
the road to the County Home. The
soil was covered with a heavy sod,
and a little wet in spots. Positions
were drawn for. Number one next
to the road was plowed by the Ford

The Hart Pan was entered by Mr..
Baust, but the machine did not ar
rive because of the tie-up on the rail
road
There was very little difference in
time required to pillow the plots. The
speed of the smaller tractors pulling
tive bottoms made up for the three
and four bottoms pulled by the larger
machines. All machines were required
to pillow eight inches. Nearly twenty
acres wer turned over in less than
two hours.
The solution of the labor problem
lies in the use of more up-to-date
motor farm machinery. In late
spring like the present season farm
er must have some implements that
will do three times the work with one
half the labor.
