P 1 1 IE I mm mm or Growing Corn Economi cally and Profitably RETARDING IDEA WORTH TRIAL Searching Review of the Essential Features of the Method Originated by Mr. Williamson After a-Careful Personal Examination the Clemson Expert Reports That Wherever Tried it Has Been Found Superior Farmers Urged to Ex periment with it Next Year. Clemson College, S. C, Special. Pint'. C. L. isewman, Avho recently visited Darlington county and the e-Lee section for the puipose of in vestigating" the plan of growing corn originated by Mr. Mclver "William -son. an account of his visit having en printed in The News and Com-. ei at the time, has completed his re- oit on the subject. The . correspond ent of The News and Courier has eni penmnea to copy tne report. licit will have great interest for sitters in all parts of the State (as wen as auioimng oiaiesi. u part is as follows: The peculiar or essential William n plan features are: 1. Deep and thorough preparation seed bed. The soil is not only broken to t'ullv twice the denth to hull it is usually broken, but is vken much more thoroughly than the custom. 2. Deep planting of the seed. The tn ate placed four to six inches be w the soil level and almost or quite 11 contact with the subsoil, but cover- d to the usual depth. This aids in 'stunting"' or retarding the growth i the voting corn and of grasses and 'cods as well, since very nearly all he soil proper has been ploughed v,av from the corn row and into the r.khlles. and no fertilizer has been pplied. 3. Infrequent and partial cultiva ion iu early stages of growth. This contrary to popular belief and ractice and Mr. Williamson styles t 'the most difficult point in the ivhoie process," requiring experience isiul judgment "to know just how licit tne stalk should be stunted, and ierty of nerve is required to hold ack your corn when your neighbors, no fertilize at planting tune and n i;v:'ti' raniri v. ha 10 pnni tha Me 01 yours. 4. An increase of 200 per cent or more in the number of stalks per . i? . 1 t"- acre. ith iws bxl leet the Wil liamson plan has a little more than 7.300 stalks per acre against, a little moJe than 2,900 if planting is done oxo feet, in accordance with the or dinary practice. Theoretically, this would give 73 and 29 bushels per sore, respectively, and it seems, from evidence at hand, that it is borne out in practice, assuming that eaeh stalk will produce an ear, and one hundred em will shell a bushel of grain. i. Postponing application of ferti lizers until corn is given its second cultivation. In ordinary practice this would be about the time corn should be worked the third time. The stalk has been cheeked or "stunted" as de sired, and the fertilizer is applied when the plant needs it for the devel opment of the ear. '. Intentional retardation of early growth of the stalk until its size is reduced one-half or one-fourth its normal development. Augmented development of the ear (following retardation in stalk development,) by cultivation K and heavy aplications of fertilizers mads at appropriate intervals. bmce the Williamson plan corn is planted 4 to 6 inches below the level, and is laid by 4 to 6 inches above the level, there is 8 to 12 inches of the talk below the soil surface. The talk roots or brace roots are below the surface when the crop is laid by, '!t probably perform their nutn ive functions better than would be of a part of them were exposed to the air, Amount of Fertilizer. Mr. Williamson recommends the following amounts of fertilizers ap I'hefl to an acre: For 50 bushels of corn per acre: Two hundred pounds of cotton seed 200 pounds of acid phosphate, 4W pounds of acid phosphate, 4.00 i! iiuis ot kaimt, Vio pounds or. m t!;e soda, 923 pounds, costing about l'ur 100 bushels of corn per acre : pounds of cotton seed meal, 400 I ' : nus of acid phosphate, 800 pounds f kainit, 300 pounds of nitrate of '5- J, MO pounds, costing about $19 'Hie total cost of fertilizers," culti- viion, etc., for producing 50 bushels acre would vary frarn $15 tc and for producing" 100 bushel? on one acre from $23 to $30. These filiations are based on the market M: " of the fertilizers (assuming th: a i 1 phosphate to be 14 per cent '"ds) and the average price of labor. Jl - i-r.st or labor vanes in different Uuts of tha Stateand even on adja t: r:t farms, if the cow pea crop grown with the produces one ton of hay, this Cl0P, if left on and in the ground. v"-;uU add to it about $12 worth oi I'-uogen, phosphoric acid and potash. It the eo w pea crop would product tons of hay, this crop left on and w the ground would add $24 worth oJ these fertilizer ingredients. How ever, the value of the cow pea foi feeding purposes is double its value for fertilizing purposes. If judicious ly fed to animals this hay will have a feeding value of about $24 per ton and if all the excreta is saved and returned to the soil between 80 and 90 per cent ($10.20 per ton) of the fertilizing value of the cow pea haj will be given back to the land. Ar ordinary crop of cow peas may b made to pay the cost of cultivating the corn, or probably the cost of th fertilizer. A good crop should paj for both. Compared With Other Yields. Considerable effort has been made to gather as much comparative data as possible so as to have Williamson plan corn yields that might justly be compared with yields from the ordi nary method. It is highly desirable that as far as possible, and without prejudicing either, the two crops for comparison be grown on the same character of land and planted at the same time, and that the treatment and surroundings of each differ in no way except as to the peculiar or es sential features - of difference exist ing between the two plans or methods Reports of some three dozen farmers who have this year given the Wil liamston plan a test "have been brought to the notice of the writer. Some of these were not considered definite enough for consideration, but twenty-eight reported either a com parison ,of yields from erops grown this year by both plans or gave yields secured from the ordinary plan in the past on the same land. The two low est yields reported from the ordinary methods were seven and ten bushels per acre. The two highest yields re ported from the same method were forty-five and fifty bushels per acre. The two lowest yields reported from the Williamson plan were twenty seven and thirty bushels per acre. The two highest yilds reported from the same plan were one hundred bush els per acre. The yield from twenty eight reporting both the ordinary and the Williamson plan compared gives an average of 23.25 bushels per acre for the former and 56.42 bushels per acre for the latter. These twenty eight show a remarkable average dif ference of 33.17 more bushels per acre in'favor of the Williamson plan, an increase of 142 per cent. . It cannot, however, in justice to either method, be said that these com parisons indicate the actual differ ence between the Williamson plan and the ordinaiy method. Many of the rerjorts e-ive the number of bush- - j 0 els per acre in round numbers, indir eating that the yields were estimated rather than actually determined. In a nnhibpr of cases the vield .in 1906 from -the Williamson plan was com pared with the yield secured from the same land when it was last in corn, the comDared crons not havinsr been grown the same year. There may be other sources of error. On the other hand, a large majority of farmers who have tried the Williamson plan now enthusiastically accept it and it - is the sensation in the communities where the plan has been "consistently fnllr.Tro1 Tf .c Jinnpil that pvprv far mer in the State willvgive it a fair and impartial trial in 1907.

Accident Caused by Collision of Train No. 66 With Dead Head Eq uipment Passenger Special of Eight Cars Three Miles Prom Washing ton. Washington, Special An appalling disaster occurred Sunday night at 7 o'clock on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road at Terra Cotta, about three miles from this city, in which about 3S persons were killed and over 60 injured, some of them so seriously that they will die. The accident was caused by the collision of train No. 66, due here at 6:15 p. m., from Fred ericksburg, Md., known as the Fred erick special, with a dead-head passen ger equipment special of eight cars. Over 200 passengers were aboard the ill-fated train. The railway officials were unable to assign any cause for the collission. As soon as the news of the wreck reached this city all am bulances available with as many phy sicians as could be assembeld, were sent to the scene. Of the injured seven were taken to Freedman's Hospital, 15 to the United States Soldiers' Hospital, and 20 have been brought into the city on a special train to be carried to various' hospitals. Among the injur ed was District Attorney Baker, "of this city, who, despite his inpuries, walked almost two miles to Brook land and brought the -fyst news of" the wreck. He was completely ex hauseted, and after medical treat ment was sent to the city. Waiting Passengers Killed. One of the worst features of the catastrophe was enacted at the sta tion of Terra Cota. Here a number of passengers were waiting to take the train into the city when the col lision occurred. Of the large num ber only two escaped; the remainder were either killed by being thrown under the rtain or injured by flying pieces of wreckage. Partial List of Dead.

Ml DEATHS WRECK DID NOT HELP GAMBLERS Money Placed in Banks by Treasury is for the Relief of Business Only Secretary Replies at Length to Let ter From Nashville, Tenn., Man Who Insists That Relief Has Been Given Gamblers and Money Sharks, "the Real Cause of High Money in " New York," and Inquiries How Long Will the Practice Continue. Washington, Special. In a letter to a correspondent residing in Nash ville, Tenn., Secretary Shaw repudi ates the suggestion that the United States Treasury ever has come to the relief of stock gamblers,' The cor respondent in question, whose name is withheld, insists that such relief has been given gamblers and money sharks, "the real cause of high mon ey in New York," and inquiry how long will the practice continue. ' To which the Secretary made the following reply: "Your letter of December 23d is received, and I note your sentiments with respect to stock gamblers. Your letter is so courteous and voices so accurately the view of many well in formed people that I am constrained to anwer it somewhat t length. "You seem to proceed upon the theory that the existing monetary stringency-is caused solely by stock gambling. In this you are in error. Some people gamble in stocks, some in cotton, others in wheat, corn, pork, or lard, and some in land. When times are good people will speculate in anything and everything that pos sesses a market value. The propor tion o speculation as compared with necessary and legitimate business is very small, however, and is probably no larger in New York City than in Nashville, Tenn., where you reside, or in Denison, Iowa, where I live. T,he best estimates I can get place the amount of speculative transac tions in New York City at from 2 1-2 to 5 per-cent ofthe aggregate. "The Treasury has never epme to the relief of stock gamblers and prob ably ."""never will, though the relief, which the Treasury grants frequently, aids those who gamble on the bull side of the stock market, and the bull side of the wheat, the cotton market, the corn market and every other mar ket, but it is equally harmful to those who gamble on the bear side of these respective markets. Both bulls and bears importune the Secretary of the Treasury, but the nature of the ad vice usually idicates the side of the market on which they are operating. Naturally these communications have no influence whatever. The real bus iness situation is the sole considera tion. "During the dull season of 1906 the Secretary of the Treasury with drew millions of the people 's money and locked it up. This would have been a crime if he were not willing to release it now when it is needed. By appropriate use of, the money in the vaults of the Treasury I have facilitated the importation of a hun dred millions of gold within the last nine months, and have released, or arranged for the release of fifty mil lions more. This was done, as I say, for the purpose of aiding legitimate business, though it has helped the bull side of the market as much as it has damaged the bear side; I care as little for either of these considera tions as do you, but I am intensely interested in the appropriate business interests of the country. "It is for the relief of business that the Treasury has returned to the channels of trade the money which it wtihdrew when the people had no use for it except for purposes of spec ulation. It was then wanted for speculation and I withdew it. It is now needed for business and I restore it. The last $10,000,000 deposit went almost exclusively to the cotton pro duceing stated -and the exceptions went to cotton buying cities." Killed By daughter's Escort. Monticeiio, Ga., Special. James Polk, aged 60 years, was , shot and killed by Cirb Waldrop, a young mau who had escorted two of Polk's daughters to an entertainment, "re tirniug whh theru about 2 a. m. Polk berated t;-e young man for coming home so late, and in the quarrel that followed, Polk was killed. Triple Tragedy Enacted. . Danville, -Va., Special. Joe Pat rillo, an Italian laborer, Maggie Sul livan, an American woman, and Law rence Sullivan, the 12-year-old son of Maggie Sullivan, were shot to deat at a camp of railway employes about a mile from Motley's station, which is about 30 miles from Danville. The rauredrs are the result of a bitter feud. Fred Ammoto, an Italian,, who has charge of the . commissary a t the camp, and his son, Allie "Aammoto, have been arrested on the charge -of the killings. Situation Grows Acute. Lodz, Poland, By Cable.-The sit uation here is rapidly becoming acute. Sanguinary encounters were frequent during the day. Six persons were killed and twelve wounded. . It is generally anticipated that "the work men will eventually secure the up per hand over the Socialists, drive out the agitators and resume work withing a few days, ill JFIiKS Items of Interest From Many Parts of the State MINOR MATTERS OF STATE NEWS Happenings of More or Less Import ance Told in Paragraphs The Cot ton Markets. ' To Push Immigration Matter. Raleigh, Special. It seems certain that the next Legislature will be pres sed to push the matter of immigra tion to North Carolina, following the lead of South Carolina, where the movement seems to be so successful. There will also be a very earnest ef fort to secure immigrants from the Northwest and North, particularly English, Germans and Scandinavians, who have been in the country long enough to become somewhat acclima ted and to know enough of the langu age to make themeslves understood. It is the opinion of many observant people that this class is more desir able than those from abroad, as the latter will have so much more to learn in every way. The New England States are now congested with for eigners, and out West the good land has to a very great degree been taken up by homesteaders and great num bers of the people are pouring over into Canada. If this movement could be diverted Southward it would mean a good deal. Governor Glenn feels that North Carolina needs a quarter of a million of sturdy immigrants. A concerted movement, literally ad vertising and active work by agents will mean a great deal. It is Gov ernor Grenn's desire that Secretary Bruner, of the board of agriculture, shall make a tour f the. Northwest illustrating North Carolina by a dis play of resources and perhaps by steropticon views and by the very free distribution of literature. A Chapter of Tragedies. A special from Asheville gives the following: Delayed communications f ro.nf Dillsboro, received hereindicate that Jackson county was made a veritable battle ground this week. One man was shot and instantly killed, while another man' shot several times, is not exepcted to live,, and a third was cut so badly that he will hardly re cover. .' In Savannah township . Sunday night Coleman Frady was shot and instantly killed by his brother, Rob ert Frady. The brothers were the best of friends up to the moment of the killing. They were drinking and playing cards, when a dispute arose and Robert drew his gun and killed Frady. In Canada township Christmas day John- Brown was shot several times by Henry Rheinehart and is not ex pected to live. Rheinhart and Brown engaged in a pistol duel in Rhine hart's store, when both emptied their revolvers. Brown was shot through both shoulders. A few hours after wards the men met again and for a second time a pistol duel was fought, Rheinhart shooting- Brown in the mouth, inflicting a probable fatal in jury. . A day before the Brown-Rheinhart shooting, Elijah Owens was stabbed to the hollow several times by a man named Brackens. Owens was fear fully cut. He bad the reputation of being Canada township's bad man. Mills Shut Down. Concord, Special., On account of the scarcity of coal and the inability of the railroads to deliver the coal the Cannon ; Mills Nos. 2 and 3 and the Franklin Mill. .were compelled to close down Thursday afternoon at 3 o'cloek. This, of .course, means an indefinite period, and will necessarily throw many employes out of work for the time being , Child Burned To Death. Winston-Salem, Special. The 4-year-old daughter of Mr. andMrs. T. M. Nunn, of Walkcrtown, was burn ed to dQath. The child .was out in the yard with her mother, who. was burning some leaves and trash. The little ones clothes ignited and soon her body was wrapped in- flames. Ef fort was made to extinguish the fire, but the child's clothing 'was practi cally burned off before the flames few minutes. Mr. Nunn is manager of a flouring mill-and is a highly es teemed citizen of Walkertown. Brought to Spartanburg. - Spartanburg,. Special. George T. Dallas and Otis L. Dallis, who .were arrested iu Crowley, La., several days ao chare-ad with takin? $9,000 from j the local express office, were brought to Spartanburg by Deputy Sheriff Wr J. White. Ihe young men were re leased on bonds of $500 and $1,000 respectively. ' The bonds were signed by M. L. Dallis nd Stanyarn Wi son.. SPUR.0USC0IN IN CIRCULATION rames W. Muse, of Asheville Arrest ed, Charged With Passing Coun terfeit Money. Asheville, Special James W. Muse probably 30 years of age, has been arrested here' charged with passing counterfeit money. He has been given a hearing before a United States commissioner and held under $1,000 bond, to await the action of the grand jury at the May term, of United States District Court. It is al leged that Muse passed several half dollar and dollar pieces -in the rail way section of the city, and it was lipon this evidence in particular that his arrest was effected. Several of the furious coins were recovered and are now in possession of the officers. The "queer" is a good counterfeit, and would easily pass undetected. It has been known for some time that spurious money was being circulated in and ai'ound Ashev;i!e, and the of ficers have been on .ie lookout for the guilty ones. The counterfeit that has recently been passed is of half hollar and dollar silver pieces. Muse makes no denial of paying money to certain persons, from whom the coun terfeit was obtained, but contends that he did not know the money was counterfeit. He alleges that he is in- nocent of the crime and that he will be able to -satisfy a jury of this al leged fact when placed on trial. He came to Asheville from Salisbury several years ago and has been em ployed by the Southern Railway since that time. At the time of his arrest he. was a flagman on the Asheville division. The officers say they are confident that Muse has had in his possession a considerable quantity of the counterfeit, and that he knew it was counterfeit. They do not think however, that he has made the mon ey. It is supposed that he was a mere representative of the makers -of spurious money. Two Trains Collide. Greensboro, Special. The Winston-Salem passenger train and a southbound freight train had a head on collision Monday near the coal shute, in which two passengers were sligfatly injured, C. W. Rawlings, chief clerk to Superintendent An drews, was thrown from his seat. His head struck a window and. an ugly gash was cut on his forehead. Mr. Rawlings' head struck the window with such force that the woodwork was shattered, and he was rendered unconscious. A physician treated him. The other injured man, whose name was not learned, also received a cut on the head. The responsibility for the accident has not been fixed. It is thought to have been due to a mis understanding in regard to orders. Dies in Paris, France, Winston-Salem, Special.' A cable gram from Paris, received Tuesday by Geo, P. Pell,, announces the death near Paris of Mrs. Edwin L. Hardin, his aunt. Mrs. Hardin was a sister of Mrs. V. C. Pell, of Oxford; Miss Annie Pell, of Raleigh, and Theo. N. Ramsey, Esq., of Norfolk. xShe was the mother of Madam De Strole, wife of the Swedish charge d 'affairs at Washington, and of Duncan B. Har din, a prominent Parisan artist. She was a native of Raleigh, being tht daughter of Walter J. Ramsey, once a jeweler of that city, and, as Miss Booker 'Ramsey, was known prior to the war as one of the belles of the State. The Fanners' Institute. Raleigh, Special. The two patries holding farmers' institutes in 16 counties have completed their work. Dr. Tait Butler in charge of one, Franklin Sherman of the other. The attendance was much smaller than it should have been. Dr. Butler said small attendance was due to the great discouragement of the. farmers crops being largely a failure in tht east. Shooting Scrape at Winston-Salem. Winston-Salem, Special. Joe Gor don and Pride Brannum, both color ed, exchanged several shots Tuesday night. Brannum is in the hospital in a dying condition. Gordon has a ball in one arm, but the wound is not con sidered serious. The' two men fell out over Gordon's wife. Gordon alleges that Brannum was too intimate with her. '- Three Men Cut. Asheville, Special. A special from Carlton says that there was a serious stabbing affray among - the Italians employed by the Champion Fibre Company, at their quarters there last night. Five or six of the men were involved in the ; fight ' Three men were badly cut, one in the back of the neck", one in .the-eide; and the third, the most seriously injured,. nea; the heart.
