Special TO --1mes-hep-blican.
Shenandoah, May 6.--Wonderful re-
ports come from Coin about the find OF
coal at that point, indicating that the
deposit there promises to be the best
ever found in the state Mr.. Charles
Schick, president of the Oil and Min
eral Company, reports that his drill 1t
Coin struck coal at a depth of 3S5 feet
and that for three and a half screws, or
for nearly twenty feet, it continued to
bring up coal in large quantities. They
are unable to tell with this kind OF a
drill whether it was a solid vein Of coal
for that thickness or whether 1t was
divided with strip of shale between
the two parts. but they feel certain
that coal i'll large quantity has been
struck between 1856 and 4O5 feet in
depth. At the latter depth the drill
struck rock and the coal ceased to
come up. Mr.. Schick feels confident
that the coal can be mined at a big
profit, for the slope is to the west. and
by working east the water will run
away from the miners and enable them
to work to great advantage.
1t is scarcely possible to believe that
solid vein of coal has been struck
eighteen feet in thickness, but it seems
altogether probable that the find is
valuable one.

discuss the seed corn provision. The
state grows something like 1000 acres
of corn. the product all is chopped
into fodder.
The instructions about selecting the
seed corn have been issued annually
by Mr.. Cownie' to the superintendent
of the different institutions. Last
wear all but one institution followed
the instructions; it brought twelve
bushels and grew but Is per cent of a
crop. The other institutions grew a
magnificent crop.
The danger of delay in picking or Sc
lecting the corn from the fields in the
will kill the germ. In 1901 1t was dry
warm weather without frosts Corn
ricked at any time in the fall of that
year would terminate and grow healthy
stalks In 1902 frost killed the grain
and last fall it did the same thing. Had
the board waited until November or
December to select it's seed corn IL
would have gone without. AS 1t is by
selecting it in the first week in October
and preserving it in hot quarters all
winter, and testing it in the earth this
spring. it has a prospect for perfect
yield this fall.
Seed Corn instructions.
The letter sent to the superintendent
OF the institutions last fall by Mr..
Cownie was under date of Oct. i. Its
instructions he regards as very Nalua-
BILE for all of the farmers of the state.
The instructions in part follow:
The season for selecting seed corn
is again at hand and we would urge
upon you the necessity of securing a
full supply of first-class seed corn.
which YOU no doubt can readily pro-
cure either on the state farm or in the
immediate locality.
by all means secure an ample sup
ply. that a careful selection can be
made next spring. as much of the sue
cess OF the crop depends upon the quail
ity of the seed. Select only the largest,
most mature and best developed ears,
with straight parallel rows of kernels,
the cob we'll filled to the butt and
point. of uniform yellow color, deep
kernels and a small red cob.
1T is mere waste of time to hang
this corn in an outbuilding or shed un-
til it is partially dry. with the intention
of putting it in better place before
the advent Of cold weather. With such
weather as we are now having corn
will not dry in an exposed position, and
II should be placed at once where 1t is
to remain during the winter and until
needed next spring. This should be in
a dry, warm place. artificially heated
and it must be hung or placed on racks
that the warm. dry air can circulate
-. ~x~Ixl
ing, and have it thoroughly dried at as
early date as possible. Under no cir
cumstances must this seed corn be
placed in an outbuilding, but must be
housed where there is artificial heat"

Chairman John Cownie Tells
How 1t S Selected and
Tested
KEPT IN HIGH ARTIFICIAL HEAT
Experiments Prove Corn Selected In
the Fall Before the Frost Comes and
So Treated, Will Produce 100 Per
Cent Grain - cownie Endorses Pres
ent Campaign Among the Farmers.

Des Moines. May 6.-Over in one of
the state board of control offices there
are thirty or forty cigar boxes full of
earth out of which are growing iusty,
yellow corn stalks.
It's from the seed we selected last
fall" said Mr.. John Cownde when asked
about it yesterday
we did not wait to select our corn
until after the frosts had frozen the
life out of it. We had each of the
experimenting select from the corn of
the state farms twice as many bushels
of corn as he would need for seed this
spring. and he did it in the first week
in october, 1908.
The result is that we have out of
kernels planted in these boxes a stand
of ninety-four or nfnety-five per cent:
and when the ears which are slightly
mouldy are thrown out when 1t comes
time to prepare the seed to plant, we
will have a stand of 100 per cent.
I'VE refuse TO plant on the state
farms corn which Is not perfect. The
way To get perfect corn is to select It
In the fall before the freezing frost
comes: then keep the seed in artificial
~ heated and constantly hot quarters.
You will have 100 per cent grain from
seed so treated.
Il want seed corn that has been kept
in high artificial heat all winter. 1t is
the best. We had corn selected at
Cherokee and kept in a basement there
which had temperature of 100 de-
grees. Every grain OF it sprouted and
came up with sturdy stalks In good
season.
1T is impossible to go to the corn
done The time to pick the seed is in
the fall, as / have stated"
Mr. Cownie endorses the campaign
which is being made now among the
farmers for the testing OF their seed
corn. He thinks the agitation wild do
Immense good. But to farmers who
have been thru the mill" the In
struction is not necessary. in his opin-
ion.
But his idea is that emphasis shout
be put on the fact that the fall Is the
time to select seed corn; the spring
is the time to test it. But the biotting
paper test he thinks is inadequate.
Natures way is to grow the corn
out Of the earth" he said yesterday
That is why l secured these thirty
four boxes. I put in an inch of earth.
laid in fifty kernels OF corn of each
variety, and covered the grain over
with an inch Of earth. The corn was
planted while the legislature was IL,
the city and 1t has been kept in a
warm room.
Now, the blotting paper test is de-
fective, for much corn which sprouts
will not grow a strong and sturdy stalk
which is essential. If you grow 1t
out of the earth you find out about
that. The kernel may terminate and
throw out good root and a small,
weak, puny stalk. while the perfect
grain is growing a magnificent AMI
hardy stalk. The result is that you
know exactly about the defects that
there may be in every kind OF corn
you test; for the grain which puts
forth the weak stalk will not live N
