We understand there is to be still more moving the first of the new year. A Cern Growing lltats. The work of converting North Carolina into a great corn growing- State has been fairly launched through the medium of the boys' corn clubs. The report of Director Parker shows that the farmers of this state have never known what they could do in the way of raising corn. The average production per acre for the fifty prize winners of these corn club boys, was 106.24 bushels. One of them raised as high as 235 1-2 bushels. There seems to be no doubt about this latter record for Mr. Parker says: "The yield was so large I took the precaution to send down and have the corn re weighed about a month after it was first measured. This was done in the presence of several witnesses. It was found that after the corn had dried out there was stiil 195.8 7 bushels of corn that tested by analy sis 12.21 degrees moisture. I regard this the largest crop of corn ever grown on an acre of land in this or any other State." The indications are that next year we shall ?e won ders in corn growing in North Caro lina.

Some authorities have cal culated its speed at 12 miles a sec ond. A few stars move more slowly than this, others much mere rapidly. Arcturus maintains a speed of not less than 100 miles a second, and the star called "Groombridge 1830" travels 150 miles in the same brief time. But the speeds of the heavenly bodies are slow compared with the motions of the tiniest known par ticles of matter. The sun would seem to stand still could we compare its velocity with that of the radium " These radiations are pro duced by successive explosions of tiny groups of the tiny atoms ot radium. The "alpha rays," being themselves infinitesimal fragments nf matter, are thrown out while a velocity of perhaps 12,000 miles a j second. The "beta rays" travel still faster.
