STORY FROM OHIO COLLEGE
OF AGRICULTURE THAT IS
‘OF MUCH INTEREST.
How many farmers are growing
above 20 bushels of corn per acre?
How many can grow 100 bushels
to the acre? If others can do it why,
with brains, carnot you do it??
Here is a story from the Ohio Col
lege of Agriculture which will fit and
interest readers in many gtates. Clo-|
ver won the victory many times in.
this champion corn growing.
Some soil will not grow 100 bush
els to the' acre. Most acres will grow
more .than they do the way the farm
er farms these acres. Sweet clover is
rapidly becoming a favorite with
farmers. This college says that sweet
clover needs plenty of limestone.
Most of these tests were on 10
acres of land, on which 100 or more
bushels had to be grown in order to
get into this champion class. One
man’s 10-acre yield was a fraction
over 134 bushels per acre.
Here is a part of the report as
ma(Le by' the college: )
“For the past six years the average
corn yield in Ohio has been 40 bush
els per acre. During the same period
40 farmers in 26 different counties
have produced more than 1,000 bush
els on 10 acres. A few of these men
have exceeded 100 bushels per acre
in four years of the six. It has been
done. Perhaps the means by which it
was accomplished will be of use to
others who desire to raise their yields
of corn to a higher level. The follow
ing is a summary of the more import
ant phases of the systems of soil
management followed.
“Clover was the preceding crop on
two-thirds of the fields. One-hali of
the fields were manured previous to
plowing for corn. Two-thirds of the
fields received commercial fertilizers
in amounts varying from 100 to 1,000
pounds per acre. Half of them receiv
ed acid phosphate alone. One-third
received manure with acid phosphate.
In all cases except one, where the
yields have exceeded 114 bushels, a
phosphoric acid and potash fertilizer
was used and in this case 80 tons of
manure were applied on the 10 acres.”

more than $1,000,000 a year to Vir
ginia, which state supplies one-half
the entire American output.

Heart to Be Broken, But Not the Child’s,
Says Judge, Reversing Solomon’s Decision
Some one's heart must be broken,
and it shall not be a child’s.
Such was the ,decision of Judge
Joseph B. David, of Chicago, that led
him to reverse the precedent set by
Solomon and award Edward Alice
Beatrice Nuttall, 12, to her foster
'mother instead of her real mother.
“It is not a question,” read Judge
David's decision, “that the heart of
the mother would be broken or the
hearts oi the foster parents would be
broken, but that the heart of the child
would be broken.”
The welfare of Alice will be better
served by her remaining in the care
of the foster parents who legally
adopted her when she was a three
weeks-old mite than by taking her
from the influences and environment
in which she has spent her childhood
and restoring her to the mother from
whom she was taken without parent
al consent, it was held in deciding the
case brought by Mrs. Ada Morris
against Mr. and Mrs. James Nuttall,
of Waukegan, lIL
Little Alice on the witness stand

& FESSIONAL AGITATORS.
.~ WASHINGTON, D. C.—lntensive
drives against all forms of tobacco
have been inaugurated in all parts of
the country “with the avowed object
of burying tobacco in the same grave
with John Barleycorn,” Jesse A.
Bloch, of Wheeling, W. Va., presi
dent of the Tobacco Merchants’ As
sociation of the United States, told
the 400 members of the ‘association,
“Every attack upon tobacco,” Mr,
Bloch said, “brings forth an addition
al flood of scientific authority testify
ing to the harmlessness of tobacco.
But while ‘our victory in the recent
anti-saloon war has been almost com
plete, the menace has not yet passed
and it is not likely to pass so long as
professional agitators are able to pass
their hats and collect the coin.”
Charles Dushkind, of New York,
managing director of the association,
said that improved conditions in the
tobacco industry were further indica
tions that the ‘“whole country is en
joying an era of well-balanced pros
perity.” He agreed with other speak
ers that retail tobacco prices were as
low as present taxes and wage levels
in the industry would permit.
POSTOFFICE SWAMPED WHEN
OIL BOOM HITS VILLAGE
Needs 13 Assistants When Population
Jumps From 200 to 10,000. A
When an oil boom hits a one-man
postoffice things begin to happen, as
lwitnesscd by the postmaster at
Smackover, Ark.
Smackover was basking in the sun,
a village of 200 last fall, when oil was
struck. Almost over night the popu
lation swelled to 10,000 and this mes
sage came to the postoffice depart
ment from Postmaster Fred V. Mec-
Donald, who, meantime, had grown
wealthy in" oil lands:
! “The office is out of my control;
letters arriving 5,000 to 7,000 daily;
parcel post by the tons; can’t open
mail any longer; no place to put it;
accept resignation.”
Thirteen assistants were rushed to
| Smackover and the salary was in
creased from $6OO-to 2.500, but Post
master McDonald refused to stay any
longer than wmas necessary to get
Ithings running smoothly.

tall.
Mrs. Morris testified that when
Alice was born, before she had been
married to the child’s father, relatives
took the infant from her while she
was unconscious and placed it in a
nursing home. From there Alice was
taken by the Nuttalls.
For 12 years, Mrs. Morris testified,
she sought Alice. Her relatives re
fused to aid, Mrs. Morris said, even
after she was married to Alice’s fath
er. Recently she found Alice in the
Nuttall home, where she became
known to her daughter as a “dear
friend of the family.”
The judge’s decision provided for
Mrs. Morris to visit Alice, and add
ed: “Courts cannot be governed by
sentiment or tears or sSorrow in cases
involving the rights of individuals or
of the state. The state is a silent
partner with a zealous if not a jeal
ous eye to the welfare of the child.
If they were not true this government
would be a failure.”
MYSTERY OF TERRIER’S JOUR
NEY HALF AROUND GLOBE
STILL UNEXPLAINED.
BOSTON.—The world’s ehanlpioxl
dog tourist and globe trotter, of
which the city of Quincey just now
has a boast, is Prince, a pet mongrel
terrier that wandered frdm his home
with Frank A. Bleller, a Quincey sub
urbanite, and was not heard of until
one day this week, when word came
to his master that Prince was alive
and feasting well at a fashionable ho
tel at Sydney, New South Wales,
Australia.
Prince is not as dignified and well
set up as his name would indicate, for
he was of humble birth.and without
any well-connected pedigree, but even
so. he is a chummy dog. And so,
when Bleller, three years ago, was
doing his early rounds as a milk wag
on driver he would often stop to pet
the little animal and say to him the
friendly little compliments: that mean
so much in a dog’s young life. The
attachment grew and Bleller finally
adopted the dog as a member of his
family, naming him Prince and secur
ing a properly execufed .license at
Quincey’s city “hall.
Gone Over Two Years.
Two years ago last December
Prince disappeared . and there was
mourning “in the house of Bleller.
Nothing was heard of him until a
day or two ago, when a letter, dated
and postmarked “Sydney, Australia,”
and signed “Paul A. Cook,” briefly
told the story of Cook finding the
dog in Sydney and of keeping him at
the hotel until directions ‘for his dis
posal could be received from Bleller.
Cook, while | leisurely walking
through a park in Sydney, stopped to‘
pat a lonesome looking little dog. As
he was returning to his hotel he ob-1
served the dog was following him.
He brought the dog to the hotel, gavel
him food and then curiously inspect
ed the dog’s collar. Thereon he found
‘the, name, “Frank A. Bleller, Quincey,
Mass., License No. 47.” He immedi
ately wrote the letter just received
by Bleller, inquiring if the dog was
his and asking for instructions as to
what to do with him. Bleller is in a
deep quandary over the matter, but
hopes to find some means of recov
ering the long-lost ‘dog.
Several theories have been advanc
ed as to the manner in which Prince
was enabled to travel across the
American continent, then across the
great Pacific ocean to far-off Austra
lia. :

THE DAWSON NEWS
COTTON BELT IS
‘ i
1 MOVING UP NORTH
STAPLE IS ALREADY GROWN
~ IN NEW TERRITORY. IN
CREASE IN ACREAGE.
With steadily increasing boll wee
vil damage to southern cotton north
ern farmers within territory having a
frost-free period of not less than 180
days will try their hand at cotton
growing this year.
Cotton takes about 130 to 140 days
from time of planting to mature bolls
under favorabfia conditions. Some cot
ton opens 120 days after planting.
Early maturing varieties have been
perfected which may play a large role
in extending the cotton belt north
ward and westward.
Cotton is already grown in mnew
western territory, where it is free
from injurious cotton pests, and most
of it is under irrigation. However,
there is a large field for drouth-with
standing cotton varieties, which ma
ture with 20 to 25 inches of rainfall,
and which can be grown in semi-arid
regions having fertile soil.
A Vast Region.
There is a vast region in the United
States immediately north of the pres
ent cotton belt which has an average
frost-free growing period of not less
than 160 to 190 days, extending from
the Panhandle of Texas through
southern Kansas into central Missou
ri, southeastern Illinois, southern In
diana and Ohio, and eastward to the
Alleghenies. From northern Virginia
this same line runs through southern
Maryland, all of Delaware, southern
New Jersey, lower Pennsylvania,
southern Massachusetts and even
Long Island.
New cotton gins have been erected
in parts of Missouri this year in prep
aration for the coming crop. Southern
Illinois around Cairo has a cotton
growing excitement of considerable
magnitude, and so has southern Ohio
along the Ohio and Scioto rivers. |
There is a world shortage of cotton
of more than 1,500,000 bales, due
largely to the increasing damage from
boll weevil, which cannot be controll
ed successfully with present methods.;
Becoming More Hazardous. |
It is becoming morc hazardous to
raise cotton in the Old South, and
farmers along the edges of the present
cotton belt, where at present there
are no weevils and where the winters
are cold enough to kill them and keep
them from getting established, are
going to venture to raise cotton.
In 1921 the weevil did $600,000,000
damage to the cotton crop.
The country will watch cotton
growing in new territory with much
interest, and it is not at all impossible
that cotton will now form a part of
regular farming in many states which
never before grew the staple.
For 80 Miles a Ship -
|
- Plows Through Turtles
}Sea Gulls Perched on Their Backs,
Skipper Reports.
SAN ' FRANCISCO, Cal—For a
distance of eighty miles the motorship
Kennecott plowed through a sea of
turtles off the ' Gulf of Tehuantepec.
Capt. John Johnson, master of the
vessel, reported upon his arrival here.
The turtles numbered thousands
and were widely spread. Time and
again sea gulls perched on the turtles,
which looked like bubbles in the wa
ter. So big was the shoal, Captain
Johnson reported, that the turtles ap-
Iparently made no effort to get out of
the way of the Kennecott as she
churned through the waters.
For twelve hours the motorship
passed through the turtle-infested sea,
and great shoals of small fishes also
were in evidence. The turtles, accord
ng to an estimate of Capt. Johnson,
ranged from a small size to four feet
long and in weight up to more than
five hundred pounds.
It was the belief of Captain Johnson
that thunder storms in the mountains
and swollen streams entering into’'the
Gulf of Tehuantepec resulted in the
turtles and fish seeking refuge in the
gulf waters off the Mexican coast.
FIG TREES ARE SOWN
BY ARMY AIRPLANES
Tree Which Bore Seed Produced 10,-
000 Pounds Last Year. :
The war department has found a
new peace time use for its airplanes.
From Honolulu came a report of
the sowing of fig trees over a large
area of Hawaii from two army planes.
Without the planes the sowing would
have involved much tedious work and
considerable cxpense, but the army
did the job from the air in three
hours. y
The trees will attain a diameter of
12 feet at the bottom with a shade
area of 2,000 square feet. The tree
from which the seeds were taken
produced 10,000 pounds of fruit last
vear.
