WORKING CORN"

Time is here to "work corn" as
we say OF course, by this express
sion we mean. work the ground, not
tne corn. The corn should be let
alone We can't "makc the corn
grow" by any effort. The best that
can be done is to let it grow by re-
moving hindrances. such as weeds
anu grass, hard and baked soil, etc.
Inc object of blowing corn should be
the destruction OF weeds and the
ioosenlhg Of the soil to admit heat
anu light, hold and retain moisture
"orK the ground. Do rot disturb the
corn roots. Let the corn alone So
say the wise farmer.

LABRADOR FLEET DwINDLIrc.
Falling OFF Of 42i Vessels In Ten Years
Reported.

ST. Johns, N. r., June 23.-The
Labrador fishing fleet operating from
this port is rapidly dwindling away,
according to a summary prepared by
New Foundland trade interests. There
has been falling off of 42l vessels in
ten years, according TO this report.
Last year the total number OF
schooners surveyed and given clear
ances for Labrador was 579,s the re-
port SAYS. THE present season there
will be a further falling off, which is
estimated TO bring the total down to
about 50O--just about half what it was
in 1910.
'This is a serious state of affairs
and bodies i'll for the Labrador fishery
of the future. seeing that there are so
few new schooners built each winter in
recent years to replace the thirty to
fifty that are lost every year. while
more become so old and unseaworthy
that they must be condemned. We're
il not for the shore crews OF stationers
that 20 down in the steamers and
freighters. the labrador fishery would
be to-day a small fraction Of what it
was quarter of century ago.

THOUSANDS or DOLLARS
] DAMAGE TO HIGHWAYS
Torrential Rain Cullied Roads in North
ern Vermont East Calais Marsh
field Road Suffered.

Thousands Of dollars damage 70
highways was done by very heavy
rainstorm which came to this part Of
Vermont late yesterday, tearing out
great holes in the roads,. carrying out
some bridges, undermining culverts and
sweeping great acc,imulations Of dirt
and debris into the highways. The
storm was perhaps the most severe Of
q succession Of rainfalls during the
past two weeks, and in some places y
approached the proportions Of cloud !
burst. From all sections, chiefly the
country districts, came reports OF
damage to the highways.
In this vicinity Of East Calais the
torrential downpour seems to have been
as severe as anywhere in this region.
There, on the main road between East
Calais and Marshfield fully mile Of
improved road was subjected TO sncr
washing and flooding that it resemble
q she'll torn battlefield. For almost e
mile the road was impassable even -
4 team, some Of the holes being frol.
FIVE to six feet deep and large enough
to take in an automobile. A particu-
larly large gulley in the road was made
lust out of the village of East Calais
and in the vicinity Of the Fred Burn
ham place. On branch road of the
East Calais Marshfield road there was
another huge excavation near the old
Merritt place, and q small bridge on
the Merritt brook was carried out. Az
other places there were deep chasms
in the road bed which will take much
money and labor to fill II is estimat-
ed that the damage on the East Gal
ais -MarshfeId road will run as high as
81 500.
The Winooski river and its tribu-
taries north of Plainfield were swlrllng
torrents after the downpour, which be-
ran in the neighborhood Of o'clock;
and although the Winooski stayed IN
its bounds the small brooks broke
away from their customary channels
and added to the general destruction
Of highways.
