1t wasn't done with mirrors, that
record-smashing official yield Of
1901 bushels of corn per acre which
made Clark w. Dellinger, Clark
County, Indiana, 1889 national
champion corn producer. The enor-
nous production was the result Of
a systematic use Of the latest and
best corn-growing practices.
The fve-acre plot in a 14-acre
field on the Ohio River bottom
which Dellinger chose for his crop
was naturally fertile, but it came
a long way from the perfection
which he set as his standard. The
land had usually been planted to
corn. Last year he allowed it to
make a tremendous underground,
which was plowed under about nine
inches deep in May. The land was
fitted by two double discings, two
harrowings, and two cultipackings
before planting. Corn of the John
son County white variety, of his
own growing and selection, was
planted late in May. 1t was rowed
three feet each way, with from two
to three kernels per hill.
Though the land was rich, he
knew that it had been used and
was not up to its once virgin fer
tility, so he added fertilizer Of
0-14-6 analysis, applying it to the
hill at the rate of 125 pounds per
acre. Six civilizations through the
growing season cleared the way.
H. R. Smalley, Director of Soil
Improvement Work, The National
Fertilizer Association, commenting
on why the corn champion used fer
tilizer on rich soil, said, "Big yields
take fertility from the richest soil
The grain alone removed from Del
linger's land $50 pounds 0f plant
food per acre. A 50-bushel corn
crop, inclsding stover, removes 15e
pounds of plant food from the land
-82 pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds
Of phosphoric acid, and 25 pounds
of potash. Return of this plant
food to the soil is essential to con-
tinuing yields"

It was disclosed in committee
hearing that violations of immigra-
ton laws by Mexicans and other
aliens were expensive, as violators
in our federal institu-
tions find living conditions incom-
parably better than they had en-
joyed outside of prison at home.
During 1889 sentences adding up to
1,640 years were imposed on such
violators and, figured on dollar
basis, the total expense to the Unit

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH.
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Besides providing food for their
children many parents have the
additional problem of getting the
children to eat what is provided.
There are any number of reasons
why healthy children have learned
to dislike some foods or to fuss
over meals.
Children normally dislike all new
foods. The way that they first
learn to like cod liver oil, orange
and tomato juice, and strained veg
etables may affect the way that
they will receive other foods later.
Parents should be patient in teach
ing children to like new and
strange food.
New foods usually get a better
reception if they are started in
very small amounts. If the baby
is still being fed, the mother should
place the new food on the back of
the tongue where it is more diff
cult to spit it out. Babies some
times refuse ice cold orange juice
or tomato juice, but VIII like these
juices at room temperature.
/ Too much fat or too much candy
and sweet desserts will spoil a
child's appetite for less concentrat-
ed food. Regular times for eating
will increase his appetite. A child
who is fed between meals because
he did not eat at meal time soon
learns that any time is the time to
eat and so he, loses the habit of be-
coming hungry for meals.
Many children do not eat what
their parents wish them to because
they know that they can become
the center Of attraction by refusing
to eat. The best way to deal with
refusals to eat seems to be to re-
move the food quietly and allow no
more food until the next meal. Once
a child learns that his parents will
bribe him by candy or by movie
to eat his food, he is likely to eat
only when a reward is offered.
Many children eat much better
with other children at a nursery
school or in hospital than they do
at home where their parents fuss
over them.
Parents who dislike certain foods
such as milk, vegetables or fruit
must expect that their children will
copy these dislikes.
Food for children should be sim
ply prepared and sparingly season
ed. 1t should be easy for the child
to feed himself. Many children
will eat raw carrots from their
hands while they refuse to eat
cooked carrots from a plate.
Scolding child at meals, wheth-
er about his eating or anything
else, is likely to destroy his ap-
petite. None Of US digest food well
if we are emotionally upset.
Regular meal hours, good food
well prepared and calm happy
meal time will often do much tc
solve the problem of getting chill
dren to eat.
Parents who have difficulty feed
ing their children what is good for
them may be interested in reading

English Derby
 Race To Be Run With Odd Conditions
BY HARRY PERCY

\OHlteU 4EcSS Otdu NOEcSpUHuentD
 London, June Il = (U.P.) = The English Derby vii be run for the 16lst time tomorrow under condi- tions so altered by the war that little remains of the great sporting classic except its name and its dis tance. N
 The field of 18 colts named for the mile and a half race that was inaugurated in 1780 wil be sent over the Suffolk stakes course at New market, 90 miles north of here, ir- stead of over the halowed turf at nearby Epson Downs, which has been te scene of the derby for more than a century and a half.
 Although government restrictions prevent publication of weather re- ports and the size of hte probable crowd, only handful of the throng normally numbers almost 500,000 will be present for the race which has been skeletonized to such an extent that 1t won't even be>includ- ed in the regular derby records.
 The hottest horse in the substi- tute entry list will not be able to make the race. He is Marcel Bous- sac's Djebel. winner of the 2,000 guineas stake and such we'll liked horse that before he was de- clared the wagering on other colts was restricted to second place bets The wagering on other colts was restricted to second place bets. Djebel is now in France, however, and cannot be shipped across the channel.
 The present favorite is Lord Der by's Lighthouse II, who won his last prep race in convincing fasll- ion, and is held at 2-1. His strong est competition is expected to come from the Aga Khan's Star Dust, now 5-1. and .Maharajah Kolha- pur's Iantmieux. backed at 8-1. The latter will be ridden by the famed Gordon Richards, for years Eng lands outstanding jockey.

Ne1 York Police To Meet Ton1n1ies June 9
EXHIBITION SET TO AID LEACUE;
 PROTEST ALIVE
Committee Appeals to Judge Bramham; Sunday
 Schedule Named

In a sincere effort to give the City Amateur Baseball League financial "shot in the arm", league officials have been successful in contacting >t.le New York Police baseball team, one of the strongest in the metropolitan area for many years, to play an exhibition game in Waterbury at Hamilton Park, Sunday, June 23rd.
 In all probability, their local op- ponents will be the undefeated de- lending champions, North End Thomas Club, now two games in front and winners of the first round of city league play, paired with the Brooklyn A. c. next Sunday in the feature contest at 4 o'clock. At that time, the leagues two best pitchers, Joe Strokalaitis of the Tommies and Lefty Roy Johnson of the Brooklyn will hook up in a mound duel that will attract 5000 customers to the east end field, given good weather.
 "Squawk" Undecided
 The protest filed by the Sacred Hearts against Johnson being ir- eligible to pitch in this league be- cause he is alleged to have been under contract to the Welch team of the Mountain States league be- fore July 1 of last year, is very much alive though week old, and promises to be lon the fire" for 8 while yet, as the league protest committee decided to contact Judge w. G. Bramham, president of the Professional Baseball Leagues for 8 ruling or information on Johnson. In the meantime, the Brooklyns are going right ahead and will con- tinue to use him, as they did last Sunday after the protest was filed by Manager Gene Oyer of the Sacred Hearts.
 Good Attraction
 In booking the New York Police team, the City League has one of the best attractions it can get to Waterbury, aside from big league group, which Is impossible at this time, all 10 major league clubs having been contacted and not one found with an open date and will- ing to come to Waterbury for 8 day.
 In addition to the Tommies- Brooklyns feature game for next Sunday, two other games scheduled include the Tribune A. c. and Overlooks at 1880 p. m. on No. 2 diamond with the Washington Hills and Sacred Hearts to cross bats on the No. diamond at the same hour.
