that great deal can be added to the
increase OF the yield Of corn next
year by the dissemination of informa.
ton this year as to how to select
seed corn. He believes that 1t is only
a question OF time until perfect

cured
The acreage OF corn this year is
9,433,9GO acres and to add the 5,0OO,-
900 bushels, which Professor Holden
has set out to do, will be necessary
to increase the yield trihe over half
a. bushel per acre.
To make an increase from the
present acreage. with its average of
two stalks TO the hill, to perfect
stand of three stalks to the hill,
would mean an increase OF about
110.00Q,000 bushels. Professor Hold.
en-. therefore, thinks that his proposed
Increase Of 100000 bushels Is a very
conservative figure.
To accomplish this he has planned
to go into every section Of the state
OF Iowa and to. reach practically ev-
cry farmer from year to year until
ne has his seed corn theories thor.
oughly inculoated into them.
WEBSTER CITY. Ia.-Professor p.
G. Holden Of the State Agricultural
college at Anes. will start out tails
month to increase the yield of corn
In Iowa BY 100000 bushels. His ef-
forts will be made under the college
| extension department. for which the
last legislature appropriated $4,000.
Professor Holden was the original
or of the gospel seed corn train,
which toured Iowa last winter and the
winter before. spreading information
| among the farmers as TO the selection
and care Of their seed corn. Last
year there were about 100000 acres
Of corn In Iowa, and the average yield
was 80 bushels. The year befoaS It
was 30 bushels. This aveEass' yield
means but two bearing stalks to the
hill.
Professor HQlden believes that by
the proper s9l9otres of the seed corn
to the end thar every kernal will
grow, 4 stand OF corn can be secured
thai will give three bearing stalks to
the hill. This, Of course, would add
| one-thlrd to the yield of the state.
Since the lectures OF Professor Isol-
| den and his trips over the a,ats In, his
special seed corn gospel trains the
| yield OF coHn mas, steadily been In

fessor Holden leaves the agronomy
department OF the State Agricultural
college. He will devote ba entire
time to the college extension work.
