Soft Corn Gives Good Results.

During the past year there has
been much difference of opinion among
stockmen concerning the feeding value
of soft corn caused by the early Sep
tember frost of 1902. Early last
October Professors Kennedy and
Holden of the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege issued a report showing the
chemical analysis of soft corn and dis
cussing the feeding value of the same.
They asserted that on dry matter
basis it was equal to mature corn for
feeding purposes. On account Of the
large amount of moisture present,
more would have to be fed to get
good results.
At the time the animal husbandry
department commenced practical
feeding experiment to test the same.
Sixteen steers of uniform breeding
and quality wers divided into lots of
eight each. One was fed mature corn
grown in 1900 and the other on the
soft corn of 1902. These steers were
fed six months and marketed on
April l6 in Chicago. Each lot was
sold separately, buyers could not see
any difference, thus they both brought
the same price, $5. 25-within Is cents
of the top of dull, slow market.
The result of the slaughter test
showed the soft-corn lot to kill out
60.8 per cent dressed meat. The
mature corn lot 60 per cent dressed
meat. The gains made by the lots
were practically the same and the
number Of pounds Of corn required to
produce one pound of gain was almost
the same, being slightly in favor of
the mature corn. Valuing the mature
corn at 55 cents per bushel, there was
difference of almost cents per
pound in the cost of producing of one
pound Of grain in favor of the cattle
fed on soft corn.

that Nebraska sent here last year
team which was considered by many
to be the best college team that ever

large expense in getting the team
here the admission fee may be little
larger than for the other games.

@. f. Wennerstrum, of the Scandi-
navian relief committee, and manager
of the Svitnoid, has made a careful
compilation of statistics regarding the
Scandinavian population in the state
of Iowa, says an exchange. He finds
that there are upwards of $4,000 OF
those who are either from the Scandi-
navian countries, or of the second and
third generation and are yet closely
allied to the newcomers from the
northern countries. He has classified
them as to the three branches of the
Scandinavian population and with
regard to political districts. He finds
that in the congressional districts the
Swedes predominant bin six of them
over the other two branches, the Danes
in three, and the Norwegians in two.
AS to the senatorlaal districts the
Swedes predominant in 80, Nor
wegians in II and Danes 10. As to
the representative districts, the
Swedes predominant in AZ districts.
the Norwegians in 90 and Danes in
20. In the counties the predominance
is as follows: Swedes 81, Norwegians

A Live Commercial Club Needed.

One of Decorah's greatest needs is a
business mems association that
amounts to something, an organiza-
tion to which every business man will
belong and give his earnest support
and cooperation, instead of what we
now have, practically an association in
name only, which attracts only few
at irregular meetings. An association
rightly formed and managed. having
back of it the good will and active
support of all our business men. could
accomplish much for the general ad-
vancement of the city. We know of
no city of the size with so weak an
association as Decorah. The few who
take an interest in it do the best they
can, but we need the support of all.
They are questions coming up every
month that could be handled by such
an organization in manner that
would result in great good to all con-
cerned.

A movement in the direction of
securing an important modification
of the jury laws of the state of Iowa
has been started and it is receiving
the support of "a number of advanced
thinkers. This is for the adoption OF
the modified verdict law in operation
in some other states, by which less
than unanimous verdicts may be
rendered in certain cases. 1t is pro-
posed, for instance, that while in
criminal cases. any verdict that means
life sentence or hanging must be
rendered by a jury unanimously, yet
for all felonies less than the highest
crimes, two-thirds verdict may be
rendered, and for all misdemeanors a
majority of the jury may bring in a
verdict.
