PLANTS CORN SHALLOW
in SPRING FLOWING

Andrew Harbo, n of the pioneer
corn men of Roosevelt county and
. man who started raising corn in
1000. gives some very timely and
valuable information as to the best
results he has had through his many
Years of experience in this section of
the country.
Mr.. Harbo raises forty acres of
Northwestern Dent a year and dur
inc the past two years has averaged
better than thirty bushels of corr
to the acre besides an abundance of
fodder. He believes that the secret
of his good results is due to the fact
that he plants the corn on spring
Moving and usually tries to plant
polwing and usually tries to plant
the same day the blowing is done
He also plants the seed cor very
shallow, from an inch to an inch and
a half rather than deep. The method
proyes advantageous for the reason
that it makes best use OF the early
spring heat units. Soon as the seed
terminates and the shoot gets above
the ground, the root development,
which goes down in search of mois-
ture. is much more rapid. Never, he
states, has he lost his seed by drouth
through shallow planting for there is
always enough moisture if planted
the same day the ground is plowed
to insure good root development be-
fore the dry weather starts in.
Mr.. Harbo markets his corn corp
in the form of feed for beef cattle,
he also sells it to his neighbors for
feed and he always puts his corn
into wheat cash crop the fol-
year.

Wonderful Surgery.

Wonderful Surgery.
Remarkable surgery was performed
on the third mate of the liner Ruth
Alexander just before she arrived in
Seattle, Wash. The mate became i'll
when the ship was 80 hours from
Seattle. Two physicians diagnosed
the Illness as acute appendicitis. A
cabin door was used for an operating
table, and the doctors performed the
operation with sewing scissors, two
pairs of forceps and a darning needle.
The incision was sewed up with en-
broidery silk and cat gut. The opera
ton required only IA minutes. The
mate vas taken to a Seattle hospital
when the ship locked there, and is
recovering.

Radio Experiments
in 1880

Chicago. Jan. 1.-THE recent
burning of the old Dearborn station
here recalls the fact that the clock
tower which suffered particularly
from the flames. figured in the
beginning of radio development. In
the summer of 1890, according to
John w. Clarke. assistant chief en-
gineer of the Chicago Eastern In
diana Railroad. aerials were rugged
UP from the tower and experiments
were performed which while only
partly successful. convinced the ex-
pcrimcnters that wireless messages
could be sent.
benjamin Thomas was general
manager then" said Mr.. Clarke.
Permission was obtained for a
professor from Notre Dame to string
aerials from the tower to the Trib-
une building. Words were eXchang-
ed, but the messages were broken.
1t was concluded that the aerials
were too low and that the noises
Of Dearborn street interfered."
j. T.. Murphy. treasurer of the
railroad company, said he remember
cd that such experiments were con-
Quoted from the old tower. Mr.. MUIR
ply and Mr.. Clarke are among the
oldest officials of the road in point
of service. Most of the other Of
ficials entered the service of the
company since 1890 and were there
fore unaware of the part played by
the Dearborn tower in the early his
tory of wireless invention.

The deed. dated July 2S,1S1c. was
signed by Abner Coburn and Samuel

lively of the corporation, known as
the Trustees of the State College of

Mrs. Rose Burrill, the NJ. f. choir
director, sang a beautiful solo, Thou
Didst Leave Thy Throne and kingly
Crown" and was accompanied by
Mrs. Friend. The sermon was given
by the Rev. George l.. Thurlow of the
Federated church, from the text
Isiah SIS: IL. Mr.. T'hurlow lillened
the growth of Gods Kingdom to the
which he said he knew all loved ana
that he was beginning to love also.
that the kingdom grew slowly and at
times so quietly that it was hardly
noticeable as the river moves above
the dam and at times the growth
was more rapid as was the flow OF
the river below the dam. Mr.. Thur
low mentioned the life and work of
several religious leaders both in Bible
times and later. He said that the
kingdom WIS surely growing as the
river was surely flowing, whether we
can see it or not. He spoke in very
encouraging manner of the present
religious work in the community and
OF the future outlook for the work in
Skowhegan and urged the church
workers to be more interested and
jealous in the work whereunto they
had set their hands. The three
meetings held have certainly been
helpful to those attending as well as
to the pastors who are directing the
| religious work in town.
