UTILIZING Dead Sea.

/ French engineers are at work on
three different projects for exploiting
| the Dead sea for industrial purposes
!! The level of the Dead sea being more
than 1900 feet below that of the Medi :
terranean and Red seas, 1T is thought
by connecting either of these two seas
by means of q canal with the Red sea,
a stream of water would flow with a
velocity calculated to produce some
5 1000 horse power There is no dam
ger, it is asserted, of an overtiowing OF
the Dead sea, for the waters there ev-
aporate at SO great a rate (6,00O,00O
tons a day. that the incoming waters
would make no appreciate difference
In the level.
One project is to start the canal from
the Bay OF Acre, lead it southwark
past Mount Tabor, and let it join. at
Basin, the waters of the Jordan. An
other plan is to build the canal along
the railway line from Jaffa to Jerusa-
lem. But this would mean blasting thru
the mountains of Old Judea. The third
project, the cheapest, proposes to start
at Akaba, in the Red sea and pass thru
the Desert of Wady-el-Jeb Having
obtained power in this manner 1t is
thought many Industrial works would
be carried on.

HOLDEN TRIP A SUCCESS.
Many Farmers Gather to Hear the
Corn Expert Talk.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 19.-The special
train carrying Professor r. q. Holden
and a party on a tour OF the state for
the purpose of instructing the farmers
in the matter of seed corn testing ana
selecting is meeting with good recep>
tions at the various points where stops
have been made.
The party which left Des Moines
early yesterday morning on the special
train was composed of Professor L. u.
Holden, professor of agronomy at
Ames; L. T. Klinck his assistant;
George A. Wells, secretary of the Iowa
Grain Dealers Association; j. r. Sage,
director of the Iowa weather and crop
service bureau Carroll Wright. attor-

Mcknight and b. L. Coon. grain deal
ers: X. +. Bailey, stenoSrapher, ana
number of newspaper men.
Professor Holden's talks TO the farm
ers who met him en- route were filled
with sound advice upon the selection OF
corn for seed PURPOSES. He preached
the doctrine of precaution and sclen-
tific tests again and again, and then to
make sure that nothing would be lost,
he re- emphasized it all. His words fell
upon fallow ground, if the interest that
was taken in his short lectures yes
terday is any evidence. He was given
the closest attention and his hearers
made careful mental note of his clear
cut advice.
The lectures were along the same
lines at each place and covered the
following points:
"First-It is very important that
farmers depend upon home grown
seed corn for the main part of the
crop. and not upon imported seed.
"Second-They should select ears of
corn for seed which have kernels of as
nearly uniform size and shape as pos
sible. otherwise 1t will be impossible to
secure an even stand with any planter.
"Third--Do not fail to test the
planter thoroughly with the seed to be
used. and stay with 1t until 1t drops
regularly the number of kernels re-
quired in each hill.
"Fourth-Test the vitality or germ1>
mating power of all corn intended for
seed. This is especially important this
year.
"Fifth-1n case any seed corn is pnr-
chased from seedsmen. insist on hav-
ing it shipped in the ear, either in
crates or in barrels
"Sixth--All of this work that is the
testing of the vitality, the sorting, the
Smelling and the testing of the planter
should be done before planting time. IL
put off till the hurry of spring work
is on, there is danger that it will not
be done at all.
