directly the secrets by which the farm
ers Of Iowa have grsatlys increased fheir
corn production.
Prof P. 9. Holden, of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college. is. the inventor Of this
idea. In the spring Of 1904 it was dis
covered that much of the seed corn
which the farmers of Iowa expected to
plant would not grow. The corn crop
Of 1903 was poor and that fact, COM
bined with the hard winter following,
had destroyed the life of the germ in
the kernel or made it so weak that It
would not grow good corn. Had the
farmers Of Iowa all planted that kind
Of seed they would not have secured a
third Of a stand.
To meet the emergency Prof. Holden
was furnished a special train by one Of
the Iowa railroads. and he went along
that line Of road. stopping a half hour
at each station, telling the farmers who
met the train how to test their seed and
find out if it would grow. As result
the farmers who heard and needed Prof.
Holden had a good crop of corn in 1904.
Those who did not had only third or
a. half crop.
This was the first .'corn-gospeI train
as it was called. and last fall and win
ter the rest Of the counties of Iowa were
visited in a similar manner. This year
a great number of the farmers of Iowa
used tested seed corn. with the result
that the yield per acre of Iowa's corn
fields this year is much greater than
ever before. Iowa's total corn crop this
year is not less than fifty million bush
els more than it would have been with
out Pros. Holden's "coEn gospel"
OF course these things are printed in
newspapers and farmers bulletins, but
they do not make as strong an impress
sion on most farmers in that way as
when the farmers hear a lecture on the
subject and see it practically illustrated.
For that reason the Rock Island will
run a corn and wheat train over its
Kansas lines. taking a number Of pro-
fessors from the state agricultural col
lege to lecture. The railroad company
expects to get it's return by the increased
amount Of corn and wheat it will have
to haul in the future. The Rock Island
covers a large part of Kansas, and the
train will take the better part of two
weeks 70 get over the state. It IS TO be
hoped that it will be met at every sta
ton by all the farmers tributary to that
station, in order that the gospel of good
seed, both wheat and corn. and their
proper cultivation may be spread as
widely as possible. That win probably
do more to increase the yield per acre
of Kansas crops than anything else.

THE HOCKADAY CASE.

If it shall stand the scrutiny of the
courts, the decision of the state board
of railroad commissioners in the Hook
aday hardware case is of great i'm
Dortance not SO much because of its
effect in this particular instance, but
because of the principle it establishes.
In the Hockaday case the wholesale
hardware dealers of the central Kansas
jobbing points complained that the
Missouri river hardware jobbers were
given freight rates which Disseminated
against the interior j0bbers. Tt de-
veloped that the rates on certain
classes of hardware were such that the
wholesale dealers in the Missouri river
towns could lay down their merehan-
disc in western Kansas cheaper than
could dealers two hundred miles nearer
the market. and in come instances the
Missouri river jobbers could undersel1
the interior jobbers in towns within
twenty miles of the latter's wholesale
houses.
Some of the railroad traffic men ad-
mitted that the freight rates were
made with the design of mapping out
for each jobbing point the territory in
which it might do business, and rates
were made to prohibit jobbers in that
town from going beyond the beun-
DIARIES that the railroad officials pre-
scribed.
That is just the trouble the people
are complaining about. With railroad
officials exercising this power it would
be almost a miracle If it were not
abused, although perhaps unintention-
ally. Some towns and some individuals
would be sure to have the advantage.
In the Hockaday case it is evident that
Kansas City had big advantage over
the interior 5obbers. As a result kan
sas city has been built up at the ex-
pense of the interior towns. To be
sure interior jobbing points have
grown. but it has been by good busi-
ness management and in spite Of dis
criminaton.
It is quite likely that the decision
in the Hockaday case will not affect the
price to the consumer of the merchan-
disc on which the rates must be
changed. With all jobbers on an equal
footing. relying on natural advantages
/ to secure trade instead of artificial ones
created by railroad companies, there
viii be straight and legitimate COM
petition, and the man who can sell
goods the lowest will get the trade.
The interest of the public in the Hook
aday decision lies in the fact that II
will allow wholesale and jobbing inter
ests to grow where the natural condi-
tions warrant and not where the rail-
roads dictate
