CORN CROP OVER
@400,00O,000
With Assistants Prof. Holden
Has Made Inspection
of Fields.
OVER ROUTES OF CORN SPECIAL
Says investigation Shows Farmers
Took Advice and That the Re-
suits Show Sooner Than Was
Expected.

Des Moines, Aug. 1S.-Prof. p. G..
Holden, the apostle of seed corn tes-
ting and Iowa's recognized author
ity on corn, who is in Des Moines,
made the statement yesterday
that with favorable conditions go ov-
er 100000, 900 bushels-the biggest
yield the state has ever hoped for,
n 20 per cen greater than the yield
of a year ago when Iowa made it's
record.
Professor Holden said: 81 have
been giving very close personal at
tention to the corn crop this season
and have visited fields in every local
ity in the state in which | lectured
last winter and spring, and that
means every county and in most in
stances several places in each county.
| have gone out for the purpose of
ascertaining how generally the far
mers followed my advice as to the
testing and planting of corn and to
ascertain the results, and to do this
| have gone into the fields and pers-
onally investigated, not taking any
ones word for conditions. | have
found that the stand is much better
than in previous years.
my observations as to stand and
present condition of the crop will
warrant an estimate of a 400, 000, 000-
bushel crop if the weather continues
favorable, and it is my estimate that
much of the crop will be out of dan
ger in twenty to twenty-five days,
while thirty days of favorable wealth
err without frosts ought to assure the
safety of all of the crop that it is
W. expected to save This weather
just at this time is all that could be
asked. The showers followed by
bright, hot days, means phenomenal
development of the crop. In a day
like this the crop will be benefited
as much as by two ordinary days.
Il have found hat the condition
of the crop is two to three weeks a.
head of normal conditions for this
period of the season.
1--WE thought it would take six to
ten years to show results, but we are
going to show them this year and
next year l believe we will have &C.
complished directly and through the
farmers who have followed our ad-
vice, all We set out to do in a num-
Der of years. The seed cor gospel
is to be spread again next year,
however, and if enough is appropriate
ed for the extension work of our
school l hope to see more than one
train out during the winter and early

since he heard that his father had
choked is pretty 16year-old sister,
Loretta, and driven her from home,

However, he claims that the shooting
was in self-defense.
Miss Loretta Higgins is a student
in the high school here and incurred
the wrath of her father by some act.
The parent ~reproached her severely
and it is said that the girl showed her
temper, causing the father to grasp
her and choke ner. At the conclusion
of the family jar the girl left home.
She informed her brother Tom, her
co%nfidante, who is employed in Chi

once and a quarrel between father
and son followed.

airy hearing and was held to the
grand jury. He expects to be able
to furnish bail.

WOMEN MAY Be
BARRED IN POLK

Des Moines, August lin a spirit
ed discussion over the new primary
law at the city hall yesterday it was
discovered that there is a section OF
the law which, if literally construed
bars women from being candidates be
fore party primaries. The law
which was passed at the last genera
assembly and is applicable to Poll
county only as it is passed for coun
ties with cities having over $4,000
population, has never been used at ar
election and it may be necessary fol-
the legislature this winter to change
the law before it can be used. 1t will
be necessary If any desires
to be a candidate for Once. Under
the present section which prescribes
qualifications of candidates the words
qualified voter are used and the
general Interpretation here is that g
woman can not run for any Office ir
Polk County at the party pri
mary. Mrs. DodSon is now recorder
but she was elected before the law
went into effect. The section of lie
law which is being discussed reads
as follows:
