Due to inquiries addressed to me
on the subject, I am making public
the following article relative to Corn,
Wire-Worms and Crows :
Com—Wire-Warms—Crows.
Editor Southern Planter:
Two years ago, Andrew Robertson,
one of our best Bedford County farm
ers, broke a piece of land up late in
April that had been in a heavy growth
of weeds and grass the year before.
As it was in an out-of-the-way 1
place, he was afraid that birds and
crows would bother it. To prevent j
he treated the corn with tar. He ,
lacked nineteen rows of having enough (
seed to plant the place, and finished j
(out with corn that had not been treat- ]
ed. ,
The wire-worms ruined the nineteen I
rows of untreated seed, and all he got !
from them was a little feed, and a 1
few nubbins. He had a fiue stand and
a heavy yield of both corn and fodder
where he planted the tar-treated seed,
aud the worms did not bother it at all.
Several farmers have told me that
their experience was similar to Mr.
Robertson's, and that when they
i treated their corn with tar, the wire
■ worms did not bother it.
> These worms do n great deal of
damage to eorn each year especially
, where planted on sod fields. As the
tar treatment is very simple, if there
is any dangre of damage from them,
the corn should be treated.
To do this, pour (be tar over the
eorn, stirring constantly, until eiich
' grain is coated with a thick film. If
both the eorn and tar are warm, it
takes very little tar, and a pint is
enough for three or four bushels.
Use either pine or coal tar. After
treating, sift ashes or slaked lime over
the seed to prevent it sticking to the
hands, and it can be planted at once,
but should be allowed to dry several
days with an occasional stirring if a
machine is to be used in planting.

CHARLIE ROSS CASE IS
SHIFTED TO GREENSBORO
Julius Coleman Dellinger Expected
Here and to Journey North With
Starrs.
Greensboro News.
Julius Coleman Dellinger, of Den
ver, near Shelby, this state, will come
to Greensboro within a day or so to
meet Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Starr, of
New York, as the next step in his
effort to prove he is none other than
Charlie Ross, famous Philadelphia
lad who was kidnapped in 1874. In
numerable surmises as to what hap
pened to the Ross boy, son of wealthy
and influential residents of Phila
delphia, have bo far failed to solve
one of the outstanding mysteries of
the United States.
Several weeks ago Mr. Dellinger. '
from his home in the North Carolina
town, stated he believed he was ,
Charlie Ross, and his claim aroused
interest all over the nation, older <
residents of which remember the main
details of the kidnapping. Mrs. Pierre
Shaw, of New York, a first cousin ,
by blood relation of the stolen boy,
became interested and an exchange of
letters finally caused them to come
south to interview the claimant, who,
it is said, carries birthmark and pe
culiar moles similar to those of Char
lie Doss.
The Pierre Starrs are guests at the
O. Henry Hotel awaiting the arrival
from western North Carolina of Mr.
Dellinger. Already they have seen
and interviewed him, going to Denver
last week for that purpose. They
came to Greensboro in their automo
bile prepared to carry the supposed ]
Charlie Ross to New York for a visit,
to members of the Ross family. At- 1
ter that, a call will be made to child-!
hood scenes of the kidnapped boy in
the hope that the now middle aged
man, if he is the real Charlie Ross,
will recall some incident that will
prove the truth of his claims.
The Charlie Ross mystery is one of
the deepest in the history of the coun
try, even though it is one that seem
ingly every attempt has been made
to solve. The boy was the pet of
wealthy parents, and they put every
resource back of their long continued
attempts to locate hint. Efforts
proved futile and it wasn’t so many
months until the Ross case was listed
by the public as an unsolvable mys
tery. From time to time possible
Charlie Rosses were found, but nono
were able to prove their case, and the
Ross boy continued missing.
Mr. and Mrs. Starr motored to a
nearby city last evening for a visit
with friends and had not been in
formed as to the date and time of the
arrival of Mr. Dellinger preparatory
to his start with them for New York
and the test of the proof of his claims.

BOY ATTACKS FATHER,
SISTER, STEPMOTHER
Harry Rowe, Jr,, So Seriously Injures
Family That All Three Will Prob
ably Die.
Baltimore, May 3.—Dr. Harry Isl. "t,
Rowe, 60, prominent Baltimore busi- -V
ness man, his daughter, Portia, 15,
and his wife, ’were believed to have
been fatally injured when Harry
Rowe, Jr., attacked them in the
family home in Catonsville, a
suburb, tonight. Young owe escaped.
Dr. Rowe, who is treasurer of the
Garozza-Rowe Oofistruetion com
pany here and a former president of
the American Automobile associa
tion, received a fractured skull when,
according to Mrs. Rowe, the young
man entered the home and attacked
the family. Dr. Rowe was beaten sev
eral times about the head with an
iron bar, she said.
The girl was stabbed in the breast
as she attempted to defend her fath
er and was wounded again in the
back as she fled from the house.
Mrs. Rowe suffered a broken arm
and other injuries in jumping from
the second s’ory window of the
house to evade her stepson. All three
are in St. Agues’ hospital where
physicians say they probably will
die.
| Mrs. Rowe, one of whose fingers
; was torn off during the struggle, told
authorities that the young man and
his father have not been on friendly
terms because of a business dis
agreement two years ago. A short
age in the accounts of the young
man who then was working for his
father, is believed to have led to his
dismissal.
