FOR PURE BRED CORN
EXPERIMENT STATION FOR RAILS.
ING CORN MAY BE EsTAB-
LIsHED AT POOR FARM.
Stations Being Established in Several
Counties of the State BY Professor
P. @. Holden Of Iowa Agricultural
College.

An experiment station for the breed
ing and raising of pure bred corn may
be established at the Wapello county
poor farm north of the city by Profess
sor P. G. Holden Of the Iowa Agricul-
tural college Of Ames The plan is be-
ing considered by several counties of
the state and is receiving much favor
able comment
1t is understood that several of the
counties have already begun prepare
lions for establishing the stations.
From ten to twenty acres is said to be
sufficient to begin the work. The
ground would be especially prepared
and the best Of seed obtainable would
be secured to plant. The idea is to
raise several different varieties and
bring these selections up to the high
est standards possible by continually
selecting the best year after year for
seed. All the approved methods of
breeding and selecting corn in use by
the agricultural colleges all over the
country would be used and the result
would be profitable to the farmers as
we'll as gratifying to those who had
the matter in charge.
Expense Is Light.
Inc expense Oh establishing, Cl6 SCd-
ton and maintaining it would be light
and it is figured that the sale of the
bulk of the crop for seed, which would
necessarily bring high price, would
more than pay for the expense of car
rying on the experiments.
The breeding of corn has now be-
come very essential operation in the
raising Of good seed and is what has
| brought about the improved quality of
4 corn that is now being grown.
APPROVES of Plan.
George Wilson, steward Of the coun-
ty poor farm, stated today that he was
very much in favor Of the plan and in
tended to write to Prof Holden for
further particulars regarding the es-
tablishment of an experimenting sta
ton in this county. If the plan should
be adopted by the board of supervis-
ors the station would be under the di-
rect supervision of Prof. Holden and
conducted by Steward George Wilson.
The supervisors have not as yet taken
any definite action regarding the mat
ter but it is thought by those who have
heard the plan discussed that the farm
ing community will urge it's adoption
Prof. Holden will deliver an address
on the selection, planting and raising
of corn from special train at the Bur
!. lington depot in this city next Thurs
day at 12:55 p. m.

Colonel Bryan gave the last number

ing and the crowd was the largest OF
any of the entertainments of the
course for many years. He had taken
| for his subject THE Value of An IDEAL
and applied this to the individual to
| the effect that all should have an ideal
in view all the time and in this way
would grow more and more like it. The
ideal should be carried into all walks
and classes of people. There should
be a national ideal, which becomes
better through the ideals of the people
of the nation. The great American
ideal was finely exemplified in the
treatment of Cuba and the destiny Of
this country was to show the worle
still greater ideals.

The School Election.

Next Monday being the first Monday
IN May, according to school law it is
designated that school directors shall be
elected to fill vacancies. In this district,
No. l, comprising Central City, there
will be three new directors elected, and
these will comprise the entire board.
This is occasioned by tho fact that this
district, which has been district Of the
first class, has reverted to one OF the
second class, owing TO the fact that the
quota OF school ceLsus has fallen below
1000, which is the standard for first class
districts. Tho old board, which has so
successfully conducted our schools for
several years past, will retire. For the
new board there are six candidates, Chas
Wiley and DR.. Charles v. Shoop for sec.
retary for three years; w. o. Jenkins
and Robert G. johnson for treasurer for
two years; B. P. Thomas gnd Charles E.
Philips for president for one year. There
appears to be quite little fight this
time, based principally upon the employ
ment Of Prof. Clark as superintendent.
Messrs. Philips, Shoop and johnson are
opposed to the reelection OF Mr.. Clark.
while Messrs. Wiley, Jenkins and Thomas
desire his reelection, and en- next Mon
day there promises to be one Of the live.
liest contests we have ever witnessed.

Tungsten Ore Wanted.
Boulder Herald.

BOULDER herald.
The Scrooby' Mining Co., 1912 18th
street, Boulder. Colo, having found that
their tungsten mine will be unable for
some time b produce enough ore to sup
ply their mill, are anxious to buy crude
ore suitable for concentration. They
represent steel company in the east
which last year imported 100000 worth
OF tungsten, but have found the compo-
sition Of the Boulder county ores par
ticularly suitable to their needs and ex-
pect in short time to be able to get
sufficient ore to meet their wants from
this county.
The tungsten concentrates generally
run from so to GO per cent OF tungsten
acid, and before being alloyed with the
steel undergo chemical treatment by
which the tungsten is reduced to a
metallic powder. This treatment con-
sists OF fusion with soda ash by which
the tungstic acid is changed to soluble
tungstate. The fusion is then dissoved
in water leaving behind the greater part
OF the iron, manganese, silica and other
impurities. To the solution Of the 80
dium tungstate, muriatic acid is added,
which precipitates yellow powder or
tungstic acid. This yellow powder is
then separated and dried, after which it
is mixed with finely ground charcoal and
heated to a white heat in covered cru
cible for q number Of hours. The re-
sultant product is the metallic tungsten
powder which can then be added to
melted steel in any desired proportion.
Steels to which tungsten is added pos
sesses a finer cutting edge and when
present in sufficient quantities the steel
does not need to be hardened in water
but is.suficiently hard on cooling in the
air.
Any person having tungsten ores suit
able for concentration will find it to his
interest to call on or write to the Scrooby
Mining Co., as they are prepared to mill
the ore and buy the concentrates at fair
prices.

To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN: a
Te understand that report is being
industriously circulated that the present
school board has been seriously consid,
ering the advisability Ct cutting of some
OF the grades in the high school. We
desire to say that this is absolutely false.
No such intention has ever existed in
the mind Of any Of US, nor has such sub
iect ever been considered by the Board.
The report that the district has been
steadily running in depth is equally
false, as an examination OF the books
which are open to the inspection OF the
public will show.
When the new building was complet-
ed. there was an Indebtedness Of about
$1,000 for heating plant, sidewalk, etc,
not covered by the bond Issue. This
amount has been steadily decreased each
year, being on April about 800. and
we hoped to have 1t entirely wiped out
this year and had expected to reduce
somewhat the next tax levy.
The decision terminating our term Of
Office some years sooner than the time
for which we were elected deprives us Of
our ambition to accomplish this much
desired result, but we have no doubt QUE
SUCCESSORS will do 90.
