Opportunity for Judy to “Do More Than He Agrees" In Newton.

Kentland Enterprise. John F. Judy will be given an opportunity to make good his motto. I Mr. Judy was in partnership with Jesse J. Fry in the Roselawn bank. While the partnership existed Frank Coovert as county teasurer deposited a sum of money in the bank, about >2,100. Later Judy withdrew from the bank but gave no notice of the dissolution; and then came the bank failure. On the ground that Judy was a partner in the bank at the time the deposit was made, Mr. Coovert brought suit to recover his loss, refusing to have his claim prorated in the settlement of the bank’s liabilities. The case was sent to White county for trial, where Mr. Coovert was given a judgment. Judy then appealed to the Supreme Court and there®the matter has since slept. Last week the court affirmed the judgment afi'l Judy must pay the bill. The people of Newton county well remember the reverses Mr. Coovert met in the bank failures during his term as treasurer, and will be glad to learn that he will recover the amount he held in the Roselawn bank. It will also be remembered how promptly Mr. Coovert met his. liabilities to the county, paying every cent due on the day he surrendered the office. This judgment, we are informed, will enable him to pay off the last loan he was obliged to make in order to protect his bondsmen.

A valuable object lesson in the value of crop rotation is furnished by recent experiments, notably at the Virginia Station, where corn has been grown continually on one plot since 1894, with an average yield since 1900 of over 24 bushels per acre. In a three year rotation of wheat, clover and corn the corn yield has averaged over 42 bushels per acre since 1900, showing a difference of over 21 bushels increase, due solely to rotation. Where the land was manured at the rate of about eight tons per acre in a five year rotation of wheat, timothy and clover hay, pasture oats and corn, the com yield has averaged over 60 bushels per acre.

The largest ditch that has been constructed in Indiana was the Hoagland or Monon ditch, in Jasper, Benton 'and White counties, and the total number of cubic yards of earth and stone excavated was nearly 1,600,000. Of this yardage there were thirteen thousand cubic yards of solid rock, which cost SI.2GFa cubic yard. The cost' of construction of the entire ditch Including besides the open work, nineteen thousand feet of from fourteen to eighteen inch tile, placed at the upper end of the ditch was $91,529.28. This ditch with its branches was completed in two years. The above facts are given to correct some of, the many false statements that are being made by people who are opposed to the flew Iroquois ditch. —Wolcott Enterprise.
