The Baseball Crooks. Both ttie jury hox and the court room In the case of the trial of the baseball "game- throwers" were appar ently packed. This fact was manifest In the character of the verdict ren dered and In the manner in whjch.it was received by the crowd. Some of the m on on trial had made confessions of guilt, but In time they gained cour age through resort to the court. Be fore the jury selected for their trial the open confessions amounted to naught. The jury acquitted the men who had acknowledged that they were guilty. It Is no wonder that Lan dis, Coinlskey and other baseball au thorities are making contention that their acquittal does not carry "clear *11100." and that In the eyes of the Imse hall world they ntand convicted. It is not at h 1 ! probable that any of the players Involved In the trial will bene fit through their court acquittal, so far as reinstatement In the baseball organizations Is concerned.-- Charlotte Observer.

The organization will take ad vantage of every method known to ?tres* upon Hit- people of tlie Htate the necessity of permanent highways being built by the state. It was said yesterday. , The newspapers, the billboards, the moving picture and other agencies will he used In the campaign. Already poster* ate being prluted emphasizing the fact that "bad roads cost more than good roads." ? "Had roads mean loin and Isolation ; good roads mean prosperity and coin* munlcatiou," reads one of tho slogans being gotten out by tho association. Another circular calls ntteutlou to the fact that while other states of the tftjiloii are spending enormous sums on state highways, Mouth Carolina is spending practically nothing by com pnrlson. "We arc delighted with the responses ihat ??Ar appeals are meeting with," ?mil President l,. 1?. Jennings yester day. Tin' people of tbe state are send lng in .their membership fees right along.

The old practice of pulling fodder is not fol lowed by the best farmers any more. /They have come to realize that fodder is the most if* pen slve form of forage which they can raise on the farm and have begun to raise cowpeas, soybeans, sorghum and. other things for forage ami to leave their <*>ru alone until (mature. They have stopped this prac tlce because they have found it to be, not only a hot, dirty piece of work, but also that It reduces the yield of corn so greatly that they can not afford to do it. Several different experiments sta tions have carefully tested the matter and have found that tpulling -the fodder reduces * the yield of ear corn by 10 to 111 per cent, says Prof C. P. Blackwell. agronomist. This loss amounts to .'5 bushels on the average. Frequently tile loss to ear corn Is worth as much as the fodder saved and the farmer has had his work for nothing. The leaf is the factory of the corn plant where the raw materials which are taken from the soli and the air are united by the energy of the sun to form starch, oil. proteins, ami fats for the growth of the entire plant and es pecially for storage in the ear. As the loaf dries out. these foods are transfer red. in a large measure, from the leaf to the ear. If the leaf i< pulled before it is thoroughly dry. thi* transfer can not take place and the result Is a loss to the car. ll i< because of this loss 1 1 1.
