The acreage Of corn In Iowa this
year is 9,433,9G0 acres, and an increase
Of 100000 bushels to the state would
mean an increase Of half bushel to
the acre. The yield last year, It Is
claimed. was equivalent to a stand Of
two stalks to the hill with good ear
on each stalk. Prof. Holden claims
that in time he will be able to get a
perfect stand OF three stalks to the hill
which would mean an increase of over
100 200, 900 bushels over last years
crop. He believes therefore that an
increase of 100000 bushels Is not an
oxtravagant expectation. The gradual
increase to a perfect stand, Prof Hol-
den believes, depends entirely on the
proper selection OF seed corn, which
he hopes to obtain in the course of
time.

HORSE THIEF PROTECTION.

In yesterdays News suggestion
was made by Norfolk farmer that an
organization be effected all over the
northern part of the state and In Greg
ory county, South Dakota, for the pur-
pose OF mutual aid in the capture Of
horsethieves and thus mutual protec-
tion in the prevention of horse steal
ing, The suggestion was good one,
could be easily carried out and would
work benefit to every horseowner in
this half of the commonwealth.
The plan, as proposed, was that
there be in every county a central of.
fee of the association, as for instance
the sheriff Whenever n horse is stol-
en- from any point, every county officer
of the association is to be notified and.
through him, every farmer on tele-
phone line In his county. Being thus
prepared, 1t would be almost impossi-
BILE for a horse thief to get through
the roads and escape He could
scarcely get fifty miles before every
road would be blocked to his travel
Horses have become so valuable that
desperate efforts are being made by
the rustlers to collect animals from
even the more thickly populated sec
tions of the country. Bloodhounds
have not proven successful in tracing
the stolen animals and capturing the
thieves. But today there is not a
county in this part of the country that
is not netted with telephone wires, and
modern methods will cope with Mr..
Horsethief effectually.
The News would suggest that farm
ers In each county take up the matter,
naming central officer, and that the
plan be tried as quickly as possible.
1t is rather queer fact that not In
years have the horse rustlers been so
numerous in this section as this year.
They are rapidly passing from the
plains, and probably this last rush for
booty may be taken as their dying act

The Union Pacific surveyors who
have been working west of Fremont
are now camped three miles southeast
of Humphrey, according to the state
ment of a member of the party who
was in Fremont yesterday. Humphrey
Is on the Norfolk Oconee branch of
the road in the northern part of Platte
county and 1t evidently is the destina-
tion of the surveyors. 1t is very evil
dent that the announcement that the
line contemplates connecting link
between Fremont and this Norfolk
branch was correct. The surveyors
we're conveyed over the route in teams
hired from liveryman. The member
of the party who returned to Fremont
went to secure a new driver. He said
there is about six weeks work yet to
do and that the surveys will not be
completed till the middle of Septem-
ber. The party has started on the
return trip.
1t is impossible to learn in Norfolk
whether or not there is any founda-
tion for the rumor at Fremont that
one of the head officials Of the North
western road, now located here, is to
be transferred to that point to occupy
the offices of Assistant General Man
ager Frank Walters, who has recently
been moved to Omaha from Fremont.
Among railroad men there is a rumor
that something is in the air, but of
course there is nothing authentic on
the matter and it is said that it would
be possible for the official who might
be transferred not to know anything
about the company's plans until he
should receive orders to go. 1t is
known, of course, that the office build
ing which was planned to be built in
Norfolk some months ago has not ma
terialized, and railroad men here say
that Fremont is a strong competitive
point and that it is not impossible that
an Office of some Importance may be
located there. All Norfolk railroad
men, as well as the entire city, unite
in the hope that Norfolk may lose none
of the officers located here.

There has been popular theory
since the discovery of appendicitis that
the disease is the result in many in
stances of eating little seeds. The Lin
coin Star evidently believes 1t has dis
proven this theory, and 1t looks pretty
much as If the Stars cases in mind
are knockout blows. That paper
says: A few days ago The Star con-
tanned an account of an operation for
appendicitis on an infant months old
in a local hospital. On Thursday an.
chronicled the patient this time being
a baby of % months. This child had
disarrangement of its internal organs
which called for an incision into the
abdomen. With such an opportunity
for exploration afforded it would not
do to neglect the appendix and, 10,
that organ was found to be highly in
flammed and was neatly and trium-
phantly extracted. These achieve
ments are, no doubt. greatly to the
credit of the surgical profession, but
the question that naturally arises In
the inquisitive mind is, What caused
those ihfants to have appendicitis? p
Did the S-months-old youngster possi
bly, swallow a cherry stone that the
careless cook had left in the pie, OF
did the seeds in the strawberry short
cake irritate his little appendix? Did
the 22-months-old boy eat too heartily
of diseased meats or drink too many
cocktails? If none of these things
against which grown-up people are
warned account for the appendicitis
of the two babies, then what did ere
ate the trouble? If the appendix Is
likely to get on the rampage when {
drop of milk goes the wrong way OF
an ounce too much of patent baby fooC
is recklessly consumed, what hope /.
there for young or old, since mar
must eat If man would live? On thu
other hand, the beautiful innocence o
these two babies destroys the piou,
theory that appendicitis is a punish
ment visited upon man for his miscel

religion owes the world another chap

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
says that there is opportunity in Nor
folk for n beet sugar factory which
will pay. He has investigated the con
ditlons here and has found that the
farmers are raising beets, regardless
of the removal of the old plant. He
has found that the factory was re-
moved from here for special business
reasons and he points out Norfolk as
one of the most available places on
the map for new factory. Coupled
with this boost on the part of the
United States government, is there not
reason to hope that something may be
done In Norfolk toward re-establishing
factory here?
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1906-08-03

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson
says that a sugar factory will prosper
where beets grow and where the farm
ers will raise beets. He further points
TO the fact that farmers around Nor
folk have already been educated In
beet culture, and therefore could start
with many years of foundation under
them in regard. Figures show that
farmers in this vicinity have increased
their acreage on beets since the plant
here was removed. If there Is an op-
portunity to re.establish sugar fac
tory in Norfolk on paying basis,
would 1t not be well for the CONNER
cial club to look into the matter, or
for the Industrial company to do
something toward solving the problem
The longer the buildings stand idle
the less they become In value, and
Norfolk could easily use an institution
which would give employment to 20O

TEACH THE BOY TO PLAY.

AS much of Norfolk as can arrange
business affairs so as to do it, always
takes it easy at this time of the year,
and fully as much of the town is en-
joying its annual rest and outing this
summer as has been the case in years
gone by Many have gone camping
to nearby retreats where the cool wa
ters ripple by all day long and all
night, too, some have gone to the
mountains and back either privately
or in parties, and still others have
sought lakeshores for their recrea.
tions.
All of those who have gone and
come back are wearing good thick
coats of tan as result of their bask-
ing in the sun, and all return refreshed
physically and in spirit, prepared to
pitch into another years work with
added vigor.
Those who went to the mountains
were delighted with the rare air and
the cool breezes that greeted them at
high SUBMITS. Those who have
camped on river shores in the vicinity
have grown strong in the open air,
have had good bathing, have had the
best luck at fishing that has been
known in years around Norfolk, and
have had the advantage of being al.
ways near home. Recreation-seekers
who have spent few days on shores
of pretty lakes have enjoyed good
bathing, pleasant sailing and excellent
fishing. All have gone with the same
object in view-to get out of doors
into the open air primarily and to get
minds and nerves away from the every
day routine. Whether that purpose
has been accomplished on mountain
side or river bank or prairie matters
little, so long as it has been done.
In view of the fact that one of the
chief requirements to beneficial rest
in an outing is diversion from ordinary
| thoughts and worries, the man who is
| able 10 take up some sort of pastime
outside his own office or workshop is
in luck, For to loaf around river
bank for a week, always thinking Of
what is going on at home, is worse
than work in that it brings increased
worry.
1t is great to be able to enjoy shoot
ing at flock of prairie chickens il
season, or to love some sort of out-of
door game, or to paddle canoe ant
sail yacht, or indeed to fish. Wha
ecstacy there is in dropping ones line
down deep into the water and then
trolling along, to feel the monster
strike Of sudden and, after a battle
land an eight-pound pickerel, every
bit alive, Topping and still fighting.
And so, since he who knows how t
enjoy such diversions when his outin,
time does come is in luck, it woulC
seem only fair thing toward the bo,
who Is growing up to so train his mine
and muscles that he may, one day, b,
