In corn culture ttegnu by Professor J. W.
Sanborn, at the Missouri station, have
been continued by Mr. H. J. Waters, the
assistant agriculturist From the ta
bles given it appears that tiie early
maturing varieties gave air average of the
smallest yield of corn and fodder, the
shortest stalks and the smallest propor
tion of stalk to ear. The medium ma
turing varieties averaged the largest
yield of corn, while the late maturing
varieties gave the largest amount of
fodder, the highest stalks and the great
est yield of stalks in proportion to ears.
In this respect similar results were ob
tained at the Illinois station.
In fertilizers, barnyard manure gave
an increase, from the use of equivalent
to ten loads per acre, of 46 per cent, for
the first year and 83 per cent for the
second year, with but one application.
Horse manure gavebetter results than
cattle manure. Plowing under gave
better results than any other method of
applying tested. No benefit was derived
from the use of salt, lime or land plaster,
while wood ashes gave a material in
crease of crop. With commercial fertil
izers there was not sufficient increase to
warrant the expense. In these trials

than to either phosphoric acid or nitro-

increase in favor of shallow tillage of

sharp hoe without stirring the soil,
yielded in both seasons for the same plot
more than the deep tilled plots, bat leas

WAS IT A MURDER?
Bettle Mitchell and Her Lover.
Columbus, Ga , Aug. 25.—(Special.]
—News of an exceedingly sensational
affair at Concord, fifty miles from
Colombo- has reached this city.
Ten days ago Mi«s Bettie Mitchell, a
prominent and popular young lady of
Concord, tried to kill herself by taking
morphine
It was whispered at the time that all
was not well, and rumor had it that Mr.
Albert Sidney Johnson, a good looking
young man who travels for a Cincinnati
house, was at the bottom of Miss Mitch
ell’s troubles. At this stage of the
game it developed that the drummer
had friends in abundance, and soon they
gathered about to protect bim from vio
lence. Both factions manifested everv
evidence of determination and for a
time it seemed that blood would flow
freely.
The constable in charge of Johnson
got drunk and 8 tar ted on tbe warpath
on his own account, but was seized and
locked up.
The friends of Johnson finally
arranged bis bond, and by a piece of
strategy got bim aboard the night tiain
for Atlanta, and beyond the reach of
the faction that was hot for blood.
The affair has created intense excite
ment on account of the prominence of
the parties, and public opinion at Con
cord seems to be pretty equally divi
ded.
Johnion is well known throughout
the south, and is said to be related to
General Albert Sidney Johnson, who
lost his life in the confederate service
at the battle of Shiloh. His home is at
Abingdon, Va.
Advices from Concord say that the
effort to detain Johnson was made be

ed girl, claimed that the bond made
was fraudulent. It is also claimed that

The Clover Hay Worm.
Clarence M. Weed, of the Ohio
station, calls attention to the small
brown worms that often infest clover hay
that has been standing in the mow ox
stack for some time. These worms web
the stems and leaves together and feed
upon them. This is the clover hay
worm. The adult is a very pretty little
purple and golden moth which deposits
eggs upon such clover hay as it has ac
cess to The eggs soon hatch into small
brown worms that become fall grown iu
i few weeks. They then spin silken
cocoons, within which they change to
crysalis, to emerge soon after in adult
moths. There are two or more broodi
each season. It will readily be seen that
these insects are more likely to prove
troublesome when old hay is left over
from season to season for them to breed
in. Consequently, hay mows should be
thoroughly cleaned out each summer
and new stacks shonld not be pat on old
foundations until all the leavings of the
previous season are removed. Hay that
is thickly infested by the worms shonld
be burned.

May wheats cross naturally? It has

the editor of The Rnral Now Yorker, as
an ample opportunity has been given for
observation, we incline more and more
to tbe opinion that the question may be
answered affirmatively, though not un
til now have we been able to offer any
positive proof. The first evidence was
given by The Rural New Yorker’s
wheat-rye hybrids; those that were ster
ile, or nearly so. It was observed that
the envelopes about the pistils, stamens
and ovaries gaped apart, and remained
bo for hours, as if asking for something
that nature did not supply. We were
thus led to watch the flowers of pure
wheats. It was seen that the palets do
open not only far enough to allow of the
egress of the anthers, but occasionally so
far as to enable one to see the feathery
stigma without farther pressing the
glomes apart. It would seem that this
opening in pare wheats is of very Bhort
duration. Were the stigmas of these
gaping flowers already pollinated? Were
their own anthers pollenless or impotent,
and was that the reason they gaped open
as in the case of the sterile rye-wheat
Suppose the anthers of ordinary
wheat beads were removed while green
and immature (as in crossing), would any
of the emasculated flowers bear kernels?
To answer the question five heads were
so treated, care being taken to ascertain
that the anthers were immature. These
beads were examined one day during the
past week. It was found that nearly
one-half of them bore grain (a much
larger per cent, than has ever been ob

The agricultural commissioner of
Georgia says: “The common custom of
sowing the worn out and refuse land in

Is it The Equinoctial?—The way
in which it rained yesterday and the
high winds attended upon the steady
downpour last night suggested the
equ noctial gale to a great many. It is

known to come as early as this in years
that have passed.
