The results for 1902 bf the statistical
Investigations at North field, Marshall
and Halstad, which, are being carried
on by the state experiment station and
by the statistical bureau of the United
States department Of agriculture, are
being summarized. These investiga-
tions were undertaken to secure facts
for the use of all the farmers of the
state as to the cost, returns and pro-
fits of each line Of business on the farm.
It was found that the cost of grow
ing an acre Of field corn, including cut,
ting, shocking and shredding, was
t14.s3. The cost each acre when husk-
ing on the hill was 811.s1.
Some Of the factors used, as Is cents
an hour for man labor and ~ cents an
hour for horse labor, have not been
finally settled upon, hence the footings
may be changed before the facts are
finally published.

0yercrowded, fire protection which did
not protect, absence of discipline among
employees and many other things which
might have contributed to cause the ap-
pa1llng loss Of life in the Iroquois theater
IRE were charged in the testimony of the
witnesses who appeared at the session
Of the inquest yesterday. ~
Aisles Crowded.
Chicago, Jan. 11.-Balcony aisles
crowded far beyond the safety point,
ushers ignorant of what to do in case Of
IRE, a stage with scarcely any appliances
for extinguishing a blaze, and stage
hands who lost their heads at the critical
moment-these were some of the dis
closures made to the coroner's jury at
the inquest over the Iroquois theater
victims.
Vital Points of Evidence.
Out of the mass of evidence the fol-
lowing are a few of the important
threads:
There were no fire extinguishers on the
were no leads of hose for the standpipes;
there were no instructions as to action
In case of fire; there had been no fire drills
OF employees; the ushers made no at
tempts to open exits; the aisles of the top
balcony and the space at the rear of the
FIRST balcony were crowded; the exits
toward the alley were never opened dur
ing performances; two Of the three exits
toward the main entrance on the first
balcony were closed at time of fire; the
stage hands became confused and were
allow in handling the "asbestos" curtain.
The stories that brought out these facts
we're in many cases dramatic in the ex-
IRENE.
Theaters May Open.
The Chicago theaters may be reopen
ed within the next two or three days.
The theater committee will present an
order to the city council requesting
that the managers be given a special
license to reopen their theaters under

which will also be presented to the
