SWEET CORN SEED
PROFESSOR P. G. HOLDEN POINTS
OUT DANGER OF TOTAL
CROP FAILURE.
Great Bulk Of Sweet Corn Seed Used
in Iowa Comes From Nebraska, Al
ready sheIIed, and No Test Is AIDE
quate-Shoud Be "Bred" Here.

Prof. P. G. Holden the chief evan.
gelist of the seed corn specials has
called attention to the fact that the
hundreds of farmers of Iowa who are
raising sweet corn for canning pur-
poses are liable to run up against a
total crop failure in the near future
unless they change the methods of op-
Grafton
Mr.. Holden makes the statement that
the great bulk of sweet corn planted
each year in eastern Iowa, where the
big end of the canning business of the
state is done, comes from Nebraska. in
which state many farmers make spe-
cialty of growing the seed.
Farmer Has No Protection.
This seed corn comes shelled, prin-
cipally to save freight and of course
represents the run of the farmers
field, no particular care being taken
to sort it and no effort made to test
1T according to the new system which
Prof. Holden is preaching.
The Iowa farmer who buys shelled
seed corn is compelled to plant it
without being able to make any intel
iigent termination tests for the rea-
son that if 25 or so per cent of the
kernels tested failed to grow he could
only reject the kernels tested and
would have no means Of knowing
which of the thousand of other kerr
nels in his supply would grow and
which would fail entirely or produce
only barren stalks or dwarfed, runty
ears.
Grow 1t At Home.
Prof Holden urges the Iowa raisers
of sweet corn to grow their seed at
home under the same conditions ana
system that he has recommended for
field corn. He urges this for two rea-
sons: First, in no other way can the
breed be improved and scientific tests
for termination powers be obtained;
second, because the almost countless
experiments made by the faculty, stu
dents and graduates of the agricult-
ural college have demonstrated that
seed grown in Iowa is better for the
Iowa farmer than that grown else
where. seed grown in Linn lis better
for the Linn county farmer than that
grown in some remote part of the state
and seed grown in one township is
sure in a majority of cases to be bet

ADJUTANT GENERAL THRIFT DE.
cLAREs IOWA REGIMENTS NEED
NEW UNIFORMS.
Insists on Issuing Old
State Garments While State Officers
Want Latest and Best-Blue Uni.
forms are In Rags.

Des Moines, Feb. %. - "The guards
men of Iowa are in rags and tatters,"
declared Adjutant General Thrift yes
terday, land l propose to ask the gov
eminent to issue new uniforms to the
soldiers of this state The whole trou-
BILE is the war department wants us
to take the old style uniforms while
the Iowa militamen want the new reg
ulation uniforms.
1t will take $4,000 to uniform the
whole state guard and if we accept the
old style suits we will not have money
enough left in our appropriation from
the government to get new uniforms
again for five years. In the meanwhile
all the other state militia will undoubt-
edly secure the new regulation uni
forms and Iowa soldiers will be far be-
hind the times. The state has about
$4,000 left of its share in the Dick
militia bill appropriation and I'm 60
ing to Washington to see if we can't
have this money applied on new uni
forms for the state guard.
None Since Reorganization.
1.-THE fact is the Iowa militia has
not had new uniforms since the reor-
ganization following the Spanish
American war and many of the COM
panies are now in rags. We have
been holding off as long as we could
in order to get the new regulation uni
forms, but now we have to have suits
of some kind to make any kind of a
decent showing. But don't want our
boys to have to wear the old style
uniforms for five years more when the
regular army and some of the state mi
litia are already adopting the new reg
ulation dress uniforms.
You see the government has lot of
the old uniforms on hand and wants
to make the soldiers wear them until
the present supply is exhausted. I
think can make it plain to the war
department that it would be a great
imposition on Iowa to compel us at
this time to re-equip our entire state
guard with the old style when we
would not have enough money to pur-
chase the new regulations for five
years again. The new uniforms are
much nobbier in appearance and l be-
lieve the guardsmen will be proud of
them. The dress coats have a stand
ing collar instead of the turnover as
at present. There are also cloth shout
der straps and piping on the arms. The
color is blue as at present and the
trousers are the same. The cap has a
flare at the top similar to the officers
caps. On full dress occasions cord
| is worn on the breast.

with Khaki uniforms for field and cam.
