Corn Less Susceptible
to Injury bv the ROrer

In some instances certain varieties
OF field corn and of sweet corn have
been found to lie less susceptible TO
severe injury by the European corn
borer than others, although no va
riety is immune. This apparent diff
ference is usually involved to some ex.
tent with the time of planting and
also with the rapidity or size of
growth and the consequent period of
maturity. The varieties of corn hay
Ing large, heavy stalks seem able to
withstand injury TO much greater ex-
tent than the slender varieties. This
seems especially true of the robust,
large, dent varieties, such as are
grown widely in the corn belt states

Handling Alfalfa With
Little Loss of 7 Leaves

That the best system fer handling
alfalfa hay is to let it lie in the
swath for few hours and then cure
it in the windrow, is a fact discov-
cred by Professors T. A. Kiesselbach
and Arthur Anderson, of the Nebras-
ka experiment station. Such a plan
insures favorable rate of curing and
the least possible loss of the leaves.
Experiments showed that alfalfa
left in the swath until field cured lost

HIT AND RUN CAR
KILLS S0UDAN MAN
CHARLES HENDRICkSoN, SOU
DAN CONTRACTOR, FATALLY
INJURED ON ROAD BETWEEN
HERE AND TOWER SATURDAY
NIGHT.
copyright. W. N. W.

A hit and run sar coming up to
Ely Saturday night struck and mort
ally wounded Charles Hendrickscn,
Soudan contractor. Hendrickson
was brought to the city and received
attention at the Shipman Hospital
but died shortly after arrival. The
body was prepared for burial at the
Laing Undertaking Parlors and was
taken to Soudan Wednesday for in
terment.
Hendrickson was 27 years of age
and has been a resident Of Soudan
almost all his life. He was con-
tractor and has had many respons-
IDLE contracts in the past few years.
According to the story told by those
who seemed to know, Hendrickson
was driving from Ely To Tower Sat
urday evening. Wren several miles
out MS car stalled. He hailea a pas
sing car a. c ask, d for a tow. While
in the ait of attaching the tow rope
to his car and while stopped to at
tach the rope, car from the oppo-
site direction whizzed by. When par
ties with Hendrickson went around
the car, they found he had been hit
on the side of his head in such a
manner as to tear off an ear and in
fiict other injuries to the head.
A post norton conducted by Drs
Parker and McCarty at the under
taking rooms showed injuries as
above noted. No fracture of The
skull was perceptible neither were
there injuries to the body.
Authorities have since been on the
lookout for a car ansering the des-
cription of the one which passed and
which those on the spot had a fair
chance to note. The car was de-
scribed as Buick. In the car were
four men according to report. 1t was
further stated that the men were
singing. UP to today nothing has
been learned as to the result of the
quest. 1t is understood that County
Investigator Hoel from the sheriff's
office is on the case.

Sam Rapson, who had charge IF

proven superior to the free system
and was taken advantage of by many
more than while the camp was free.
The report shows that during
1927, 1853 cars and $3.50 people took
advantage of the camp against ITO
cars and 4937 people during the year
1926, an increase of 1873 cars and

predicted dire disaster for the camp
and no business. The paid system
has brought business to the camp
and many Of those travelling made
the statement that they would not
stay at free camps.
Of the 1885 cars registered at the
camp, lat remained for lunches on
ly, did not stay over night and were
consequently not charged fee. The
cars averaged AIS persons per car.
The cash receipts at the camp were

BOYS TEST OUT
FOOTBALL KICKS

Saturday was about the worst day
we have had this fall, but with the
zero weather and snow and wind,
there was fair representation of
boys out for the football tests. The
wind which was blowing a little
crossways, but more in favor of the
boys helped where the cold weather
hindered, and some fair scores were
made by the lads.
According to the rules of the con-
test, the high point in each separate
event were added for the city's total.
In the case here at Ely, four boys
were represented in the total. Louis
Zgonc, aged fifteen, punted thirty
nine yards for $50 points, Fred
Banks, fifteen years old, drop kicked
forty-four yards for sci points and
Lawrence Golobich, age twelve,
made forward pass of twenty-six
and a third yards for GA points.
Ely's total was 2347.
These scoring over 1000 total in
the four events were as follows; Fred
Banks, 2155 Lawrence Golobich,
2132, John Banks, 2123, Louis
zgonc, POSI-, Frank Sayovitz, 2016,
Joe Novak, 2066. John Banks and
Joe Novak were consistent point get
tiers in all four events, and were but
a few points under the winners, in
the single events.
Interest in these tests seems to be
greater after the events than it was
Lefore and some interesting times
are promised when the basketball
tests are given later in the season.
Coach Buckley of the Schools, Ray
Hoefler of the Community Service
Center and several High School boys
were in charge of the tests.
