In Storage Since March.


Commission men declare that the
best eggs on the market at present are
those which nave been kept In cold
storage since March and April and
that tle country eggs brought to the
market within the last week or 10
days are apt to be far advanced in the
process of Matching. AS a result cold
storage concerns have opened and the
market Is more or less flooded with
eggs stored from three to Is months
ago. The eggs have no signs of life
in them for the temperature in the
cold storage houses Is so low that II
makes the eggs unhatcnable. These
cold storage eggs can be recognized in
moment after the shell is broken
If the white Of the egg sticks to tne
shell one mas an egg good enough in
way, but which was probably laid
many months ago.
Hotelmen and commission agents
say that more eggs were stored this
tnis year than ever before and this
hot weather is the right time to work
them off. When so many country eggs
have seen too much heat to be free
from the odor of fried chicken-or
other odors. If any fresh eggs appear
on the market and stand the test they
are coralled and stored away either to
command fancy prices at present or to
be sold at Christmas time for probably
35 cents dozen.
Just now it Is said that there are bill
lions of cases of eggs stored away by
the big dairy produce concerns of the
country. This Is more than twice the
ordinary amount Egg shipments
from this section of the country will
not be particularly large this year, as

supreme court handed down a ruling on the
indeterminate sentence law to the effect that
trial judge was not qualified to NIX the maxi

This is an amazing record. It means that ap-

the grasp.
The credit for this extraordinary spreading Of
the good seed corn gospel belongs to the state ag

of the department of agronomy. However If
Iowa's agricultural wealth is greatly increased by

Webster City, Iowa, May 11.-1f Iowa farmers
were to produce three good stalks of corn to the
hill instead of one or two, as in the past, tney
would increase the yield of their cornfelds so,
600, 900 bushels and add approximately $25,OOO,-
600 annually to the wealth Of the state, or more
than $40 for every man, woman and child. This
is an interesting 'if," not merely because of Its
tremendous possibilities but also because it is
entirely within the power Of Iowa farmers to
realize it. ~.'"@~ 1858,
The data of Iowa's seed corn specials have just
been compiled by Joe S. Trigg, and are nothing
short of amazing. In 1904, when Professor P. G
Holden of the state agricultural college origina
the idea, only three railroads interested them
selves in the project, and only small section
of the state covered. But in 1905 plans were
made weeks in advance by practically every rail.
