Sioux County Farmers Greatly
Discouraged Over Results
of Seed Corn Testing
LARGE PERCENT NoNPRoDuclNG
Maiority of the Tests Have Been Car
ried On by the Four Kernel Method
Recommended by Professor Holden
II. II. Mckee, of Hawarden, Offered
Immense Sums For Perfect Seed.
Special to Times-Isepublican.


Hawarden, March 81. - Farmers in
Sioux county who have tested their
seed corn this spring say that the
results show from thirty to sixty per
cent of the corn is producing.
This statement has been made from
every section of the county and far
mers are much worried over the pros
pect of a good crop this year. II corn
showing terminating qualities OF from
AZ to ~ per cent is used, then the
crop will be on that per cent. Most OF
the tests have been carried on by the
four kernel method recommended by
Professor Holden in his special corn
train here some weeks ago. Interest
was aroused among the farmers and
a most thorough test was resorted to.
The result has been very surprising.
Nearly all are reporting the same re-
suits. Farmers are very much dis
couraged in the probable outcome OF
the crop if such seed is planted, LOT
after taking out the percentage OF PAD
seed and the ravages Of the possible
unfavorable season, then the final crop
would show very little for the sea-
sons work. Fl. H. Mckee of this place,
after a very painstaking test by the
six kernel method, managed to save
small sack of seed from ears of which
every kernel terminated. He has been
offered fabulous sums by prosperous
farmers for that sack of corn. This
shows we'll the general trend of the
interest shown in pure seed. Bank
ers and business men of the county
have been watching the results of the
tests, knowing full we'll that with
poor yield this year the credit of the
farmer will be below the standard.

FIGHT TRoLLY LINE.
Union Pacific Will Oppose Any Com

petIng Lines.
Special. to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, March 31.-The big
gasoline motor car recently built In the
Union Pacific shops at Omaha is to be
sent to Portland, Greg, to be operated
on the Union Pacific in suburban SER
vice in direct competition with the in
terurban line. Since the secrecy which
surrounded the construction Of the car
was torn aside and the car has been
fully tested, railroad men have been
coming long distances to learn more
about the car 1t has done forty miles
an hour and is said to be equal to
sixty miles. &. u
1t cam be operated at far less ex-
pense than an electric car of like ca
pacity; it requires no overhead con-
struction, and is entirely independent
in it's operation. Railroad men are in
terested because they believe it solves
the problem of competing with the
trolley lines.
This trolley problem has been grow
ing serious, even west of the Miss1s-
sippi, for two or three years past. The
Rock Island system in Iowa has been
especially unfortunate. Trolley lines
in the east and central parts Of the
state have paralleled large part OF
it's main line mileage, practically de-
stroying the local business, both freight
and passenger The Union Pacific
management investigated the question
of gasoline cars carefully, and adopt
ing the best plan, had a sample car
built 1t is declared a complete sue
cess.
In order to keep trolleys out Of COM
petition, the Union Pacific proposes to
build these cars as fast as necessary,
and wherever trolley competition
threatens to forestall it by establishing
fast time, single car service with the
gasoline cars, entirely Independent of
the thru service. Light freight, ex-
press and passengers will be handled.

which a fight has been brought on the
constitutionality of the old law. The
many other suits that have been
brought in district courts have been
for the purpose of testing the new
drainage law. In the case brought
by Hamilton and Wright counties, the
object has been to test the constltu-
tionality of the new law as curative
for the fault of the old law. The Old
law has been claimed to be unconstl-
tutional because it did not provide
for a notice of their assessment to the
interested parties in case of drain
age ditch. The last general assembly
attempted to remedy the law by pass
ing a measure making provision for
such notice. 1t is the constitutional
ity of the old law amended by this
measure that the two counties are
seeking to establish. The decision
given sometime ago by Judge Evans
declared that the law with the amend
ment added is perfectly constitutional.
The case came from Wright county
originally. j. G. Sullivan of Webster
but was enioined from proceeding
Wlun une WORK On lHe 6iouHu .ile'e
the law was unconstitutional. Iniunc-
ton proceedings against the Wright
county board of supervisors restrain
ed them from establishing a certain
drainage district under the drainage
law, and the two counties united in
carrying the case to the courts. They
secured favorable decision from
Judge Evans in the district court;
but now according to the information
received from Wright county, the
work on the bitches will have to be
further delayed until a supreme
court decision has been secured.
