POP CORN UNCERTAIN CROP
Cost to Produce Is Considerably
Higher Than Ordinary Field
Corn-Averaqe ls Low.

Pop corn grown in 1922 is not mar
ketable until June, 1923, and is a very
uncertain crop for the average farmer
to grow who is not in touch with the
market. The average yield on the
1900 acres grown last year was %
bushels per acre. 1t costs consid-
erably more to produce bushel of
pop corn than a bushel of field corn
and under present conditions it ap-
pears that unless man has been
growing this crop for number of
years and is reasonably sure Of being
able to find good market he had
better not grow it this year.

CARING FOR ASPARAGUS BED
Yield and Quality Of Crop Depend
Greatly on Cultivation and
Fertilizer Given.

Cultivate and fertilize the aspar-
agus bed SO that the crowns may de-
velop properly during the summer and
be able to produce a heavy crop of
shoots next summer. Remember that
the yield and quality of the asparagus
depend largely upon the treatment
given the asparagus this year.

may be expected to return more for
the feed they use. But purebreds are
not always high producers.
The ratio Is not constant between
the quantity Of feed consumed and the
quantity Of milk produced. The rec

that the cows that produced 10000
pounds of milk q year ate only % per
cent more feed than those that pro.

The cows that made 1850 pounds Of

Of West Virginia against the British

river near the present site Of Wheel
ing. In the summer of lTT7 when II
was besleged by strong force Of saw
ages. Maj. Sam Mccullough. n noted
border leader. left Fort Pitt at the
head OF 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming In sight Of the fort. McCul.
lough's men made dash for the gates
and passed through them In safety, al.
though the Indians made desperate
effort to cut them OH. Major Mccul-
Tough held back to cover the retreat
of his men until they were safely with
in Its walls and delayed so long thnt
the redskins succeeded In getting be-
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs TO his horse. the
ranger leader dashed for hill back
Of the fort. AT It's top he met another
band Of Indians and NJ the same time
third group approached him from
another direction. The Indians were
now on three sides OF him. On the
other was high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek. 300 feet below.
The ranger was cCrnered.
The Indians raised yell OF triumph
MS they closed In on him. But when
