He tells of what has been accomplished by six farmers and how they did it. Three of these used the prolific varieties of corn for, seed and the other three native white corn. The native corn averaged more bushels to the acre than the prolific, and Mr. Weaver accounts for this in some de gree by the fact that the prolific corn may not have been quite acclimated. Went On Another Rampage. Albert Rodenkirchen, the Siberian, who made two unsuccessful attempts at suicide at Greensboro a month ago, broke loose again and it required the aid of two officers to transport him from a local sanitarium to the county jail.
