When you see a man running all over the country making speeches to, the "down-trodden" and attending every funeral in 26 miles of his home and chipping in a quarter every time he goes to church, and hollering across the street to everybody that happens to be on the other side, he's a-fixing to run, for some politicul office, and this is the way he begins to reach the hearts of the "deer peepul." Cotton Letter New York, June 8.?'Spots were weak and futures were too, The bulls didn't know what in the world to do. .They straddled and hedged und bought July, und pruyed for the market to go sky-high. But the more they bought the lower it went, and when the gong sounded they had not a cent. It rained in Texas, so said the weather map, and the longs were daXight in a squeezing trap. But the Federal Reserve raised the discount rate, and called all the loans, state by state; And the speculators hollered and squirmed and flinche<l and they kept tho prico down where they couldn't get pinched. Estimates and reports and all kinds of bunk? Will turn all the farms into a mass of junk. You may hold till it hurts, then turn around and sell, and if you keep a-raising cotton you'll land in ?the poor house. Prophecy: Within 10 years from today, a big automobile will be a joke. It's funny that a little 126-pound man feels big because he rides in a big car. Rich folks think it is a sign of poverty to be seen in a joy-wagon that carries anything less than a 166inch wheel base. The reason Henry Ford and Mr. Chevrolet are selling nearly 90 per cent of the czars sold today is not altogether a matter of low price: it's simply because the average man and the average woman are getting tired of steering box cars for pleasure. Give Corn Nitrogen Plants Knee-High ?" Olomtoii College, June 15.? An average of eeveral test* in 1928 ?howt that 36 pdunds of ammonia ai ,?upp)iad by 200 pounda of nitrate of pda applied when corn waa about knee-high had the effect of increasing the yield from 17.9 bushels to 3p. I per acre, reports Dr.T. 8. Bui*-, chief of the agronomy division, 8. C. Kxperimeiit Station, who therefore adv sies that 160 to 200 pounds of, nitrate of soda or equivalent amount of plant food from other aimilar sources should be applied when the corn will average about knechigh. If more than 200 pounds is used or Jf the soiPis very light, he thjnks it well to retain a part and make a second api/lication just before the plants begin to tassel. Many times farmers wait too long, [Mr. Buie thinks, before applying side-dressing to corn. They do this with a view of decreasing stalk growth and then by furnishing a liberal supply of nitrogen just at the I time the ears are being formed, hope to make high yields. If corn is to make the most efficient use of nitrogenous fertiliser it should be app led rather early in the life of the plant, so that it may be utilized for the development of a sturdy stalk and un abundance of leaf growth, without which a high yield cannot be expected. 1 he experiences of many farmers J throughout the state, as well as the results of carefully conducted' experiments, amply support these statements as to how and when to fertilize corn with nitrogen.

Walter, border liquor patrolmen, when he ehot at en automobile near here lata Saturday and instantly killed Henry Virkkula, Big Falls, Minn., merchant. White used an automatic shotgun. Sheriff Keidy announced these facts today.. |; White was found by Deputy Cor[ oner Fagen today to have killed Virkkule and was arraigned in diatrict court whence he was released in $1,500 bail. tx . _! The buckshot tore out the rear window of the automobile and broke the windshield. The marvel grew today that Mrs. Virkkula, w|g> eat beside her husband in bhe front seat and their two daughters, aged.elev-' en and'nine, who were' curled up! asleep in the rear seat, escaped death and injury. Virkkula was shot thru the neck and through the right side of the body. Twenty-six buckshot left their marks on the car, which clashed into a ditch, the moment Virkkula was shot . It appeared that if the two girls had been sitting upright in-' stead of sleeping they might have been struck by some of the, buckshot which passed through the back part of the car top. Indignation of this area is considerable, especially in View of the fact that no liquor was ' found in the automobile. Mrs. Virkkula said her husband | did not have time to stop the car af- | ter the patrolman's signal was seen before White started firing. This was about 11 o'clock Saturday night while the Virkkula family was going to their home in Big Falls after * visit to Duluth. Emil Servine, another border patrolman, was with White. Servine was suspended. I . ! I Death of Mrs. John I. Bowers Mrs. I'olly Cook Bowers, wife of John I.
