It was late in the. afternoon of

Il little building on High street, where
Dunlap and Clayp0ole conducted
print shop. These printers were pre-
pared to do rush jobs" They had
put out broadsides Immediately after
the Battles of Lexington, Bunker Hill,
and upon receipt of the news of the
disasters at Ticonderoga and Quebec.
So they at once set to work and gave
their personal attention to the setting
in type of this greatest of all docu-
ments, which had fallen to their lot
to print. Since the printing of it had
to have official supervision, Jefferson,
Adams and Franklin stayed in the
shop until the Declaration was set
in type and the first proof of it was
pulled. They then made corrections
on this proof, (the major responsible
ity for catching any errors resting on
Franklin, no doubt, since he was a
practical printer) and remained in the
shop until this Magma Charta Of Amer
lean liberties had been placed on the
old fiat hand-press and was being
printed.
On July 5, 1776, when congress met
again, supply of these printed copies
of the Declaration were on hand, and
one of them was 'wafered" in the
blank space left for it in the rough
journal of Congress" before the read
ing of the minutes of the preceding
day took place. In the meantime let
tiers transmitting the Declaration to
the various assemblies had been pre-
pared by John Hancock, president of
congress, his signature attested to by
Charles Thompson, secretary, and
some of these were printed ON July 5
and the remainder some days later.
The first one was sent to the Com
mittee of Safety of Pennsylvania, dat
ed July and delivered to the COM
mittee on July 6. The committee de-
cided to promulgate the Declaration
on the following Monday, July s, since
elections for membership in the new
convention were to be held through
out the state on that day and would
furnish a better opportunity than
usual to secure large public attend
ance to hear the reading of this impor-
tant document.
On July s, the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was first proclaimed to the
citizens of the United States from the
balcony of an observatory attached to
the building in the state house yard
which occupied the site of what is
now the home of the American Phi

steeple tthat bell whose makers had
placed upon it the prophetic inscrip-

thereof" when it had been cast some
twenty-three years before), was rung
at this time-to call the Philadel-
phians together for the reading of the
Declaration and to celebrate the occa-
sion after they had received the news.
But the cracking of the bell did not
take place at this time. That oc-
currred exactly SO years later while
it was being tolled for the death of
Chief Justice John Marshall, which
took place July s, 1885. Other bells
chimed in the chorus, bonfres were
lit that evening and all in all it was
one of the most memorable days in
the history of the historic City of
Brotherly Love.
Although the first official proclama-
ton of the Declaration of lndepend-
ence took place on July s, in Independ-
ence Square, this was not the first
knowledge which the public had of the
great news which it contained. For
on Saturday, July 6, the Pennsylvania
Evening Post, published every Tues
day and Saturday evenings at a
price only two coppers' devoted the
entire front page of its issue for that
date to the publication of the Dec
laration. On July s, Dunlap and
Claypoole also published it in their
weekly, the Pennsylvania Packet, and
within the next week or so it had
been published in nearly all of the
Colonial newspapers, as well as hav-
ing been proclaimed IN various places
by the assemblies, councils of safety
and the like, for post riders were car
rying some of Dunlap and Claypoole's
printed copies Throughout the newly
created nation. In Massachusetts
where the struggle for liberty had be-
gun, it was first proclaimed on July
IA, 1916, and the interesting fact is
that it did not take place in Boston.
For, according to a contemporary ac-
count, "at about noon on Sunday
July 14) a messenger on his way to
Boston stopped at one of the taverns
on Main street (Worcester) for din
ner for himself and team. While
waiting for his team to eat and rest
he was met by Isaiah Thomas, who
obtained from him copy of the Dec
laration which he took to the church
and read from the porch"

i've Corn Water
for High Yields
Need Of Fertile Soil and Use
& Legumes in Rotation
Are Factors.

No one ever saw a good yield of
cor4 on poor land nor during dry
seasPn, unless the crop was irrf-
gated. Large amounts of water are
essential to heavy corn production per
acrd.
"1luch interest has been created
Through North Carolina by our state.
mey{r that the average acle yield of
cor1b should be at least so bushels"
say$ G. M. Garren, cereal agronomist
at the North Carolina State college.
"W& have had number of letters ask
ingy how to obtain such an average
yield. In answering these, attention
has been called to the need of fer
TILED soil, the use of legumes in rota-
ton, liberal fertilization and other
NECESSARY factors.
Need for Moisture.
1T is also essential that we keep in
mind the need for moisture in the soil.
Some investigator has found that 300
pounds of water is needed by the corn
plant for every pound of dry matter
produced. This includes the water
evaporated through the soil as we'll
as that transplanted through the
leaves"
Therefore, it is important, says Mr..
Garren, that the corn grower con-
serve the moisture in the soil. This
Is the only kind that benefits the
growing plant. The grower may in
crease the storage capacity of the
soil by increasing its humus content,
and he may conserve the moisture by
keeping a mulch constantly on the
surface. This mulch must be restored
whenever destroyed, and certainly
after every rain. Three inches is a
fair depth for cultivation, and any i'm
plement that will produce the effect
of drag harrow may be used for the
civilizations. For best results, level
cultivation should be given except in
a very wet season. Then drainage be-
comes problem.
Conserve Moisture.
Those who wish to grow so bushels
of corn per acre must give close at
tention to the conservation of soil
moisture. In many cases, this will
call for a change of practice and the
securing of more suitable implements
for cultivation.

il celebration Of the event they rang
the Liberty bell until it cracked wide
open" And that represents pretty
well the sum of the INSTRUMENTATION
which many of us have upon the his
toric event from which we date the
beginning of our nation.
In contrast to this transformation,
consider these simple chronological
facts in regard to the making of the
Declaration of Independence and Pro-
claiming of Liberty:
On June Z, 1776, Richard Henry Lee,
delegate to the Second Continental
Congress from Virginia, acting under
his instructions from that colony, pre-
scented resolution declaring that
''these United Colonies are, and of
right ought to be, free and independ-
ent states" This resolution was de-
bated in congress for nearly month
and a vote on it was deliberately de-
ferred until it seemed certain that the
restrictions placed upon delegates
from other colonies would be so mod
flied that there would be unanimous
or almost unanimous approval of the
resolution when it was put to vote
in congress.
On July 2, 1776, Lees resolution
was put to a vote and approved by
the delegates of twelve of the col
onies. The only silent voice was that
of the New York delegation. The Dec
laration was penned by Thomas Jeffer-
son and offered to congress, sitting as
a committee of the whole, for revision
before its adoption.
On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of
Independence, as revised, was adopt
ed by the delegates from the colonies
with the exception of the New York
representatives. The men who had
voted for the Declaration of Independ-
ence realized that it would be nothing
more than a scrap of paper unless it
received popular support and received
it Immediately. So arrangements were
made at once to have the document
put before the public in the form Of
broadside. Therefore, after record
ing the vote on the main question, it
was "Ordered, That the Declaration
be authenticated and printed; That
the COMMITTEE appointed to prepare
the Declaration, superintend and cor
rect the press, That copies of the Dec
laration be sent to the several Assem-
blies, Conventions and Committees, or
