Average 70 As Average %
1t will be noticed that the five high
est gave an average Of 70 40 bushels
per acre, while the five lowest an aver
age of only 2S, or a difference of 424-5
bushels per acre. This verifies the
work of the termination box tests,
which showed the difference In produc-
ing power of different ears, and the
two coupled together give a fair reas-
on for the difference in our five high
est yields in the farmers varieties,
with an average Of So bushels per acre.
against those of our five lowest farm
ers' varieties with yields of 80 bushels
per acre, when the conditions in the
field were exactly the same.
If these ears had been tested IN a
termination box, a careful reader OF
he box would have discarded them.
for the tested seed from the strong
ears would have thrown out thick,
strong. healthy and vigorous looking
sprouts, capable Of producing good
ears, while the seed from the low yield

Bushels

While i've kernels per hill will give
the greatest number of bushels after
you leave BIZ kernels per hill the quail
ity begins to suffer some.
However, 1 am quite sure that
enough seed is not planted per acre,
for in the farmers varieties last year
Just three kernels were planted per
hill and the large crop of the "a va
rieties with an average yield Of 68
bushels per acre was produced on just
63k per cent Of a stand or less than
two stalks per hill. A farmer with
only two-thirds of a stand Of corn has

SMOKING and tho Church.

DR.. Campbell Morgan has created a
sensation at the Mortified conference
by openly confessing his love for a
good cigar, but some of his critics
! might remember that smoking In
church was prevalent in this country
at the beginning Of the seventeenth
century. In Wales it was INDUCED in
SO late as 1850. Readers Of The
Heart Of Midlothian" will remember
how Duncan of Knockdunder, when at
worship filled his pipe, lighted it with
the assistance OF his pistol flint, and
smoked with infinite composure dur
ing the whole Of the sermon" not
withstanding the anger Of David Deans
And to this day smoking in church is
practiced by the Dutch.

for her, he wondered, that she had
missed this confession in his pocket?
That remained to be seen, and he was
eager to be alone in his room to read
1t. He felt a reluctance to bringing this
interesting tete-a-tete to an end, but
he must without delay be alone to
read the secret in his pocket. He rose
from his chair.
Its getting awfully late, Eunice.
I'd better go now. We will meet here
tomorrow night then? At what time?"
II can come as oon as Ollie falls

He held out his hand to her. Good
night"
Without rising from the bed she laid
her slim fingers in his, and he clasped
them. for an instant as he looked down
into her eyes appraised to his. There
was something in her passionate gaze,
pure as very fire" which set his own
pulse to bounding and which made him
feel for the first time in her presence
the full force OF a fascinating person
ality. the charm of a most sweet wo-
manhood.
He clasped her hand almost iercely,
then turned away abruptly and went
from the room.

ing ears might perhaps throw out
SPROUTS nearly as long as the strong
ones, yet their slender and weak look
ing would indicate that
the best they could do would be to
produce long slender stalks that would
be able to give only worthless ears
or a nubbins.
However, 1t most usually happens
that the weak seed Ices not throw out
it's sprouts more than half the length
of those from the strong seed in ten
DAYS time and can be easily detected.
This is all very important, for III the
average yield per acre is to be raised
in Iowa it will largely be brought
about by the farmers driving out these
weak and almost worthless ears from
their seed. And 1t a all be SO cas-
lily done If the farmers Will only get
busy during February and March, the
time of the year when they usually
spend considerable time whiting up
dry goods boxes and predicting that
what the weather man is going to do
for them the coming season, not realiz-
ing how much of the success of the
coming crop depends on them and
them alone; and that their success
and failure that year is mostly being
mapped out by themselves. and that
they will reap just what they SOW n
plant.
The last experiment I will mention is
the one giving the results of planting
different numbers of kernels per hill,
ranging from to five.
This experiment only verifies those
of past years, so I will give the aver

twelve times in Marshall, Story, Polk
and Green counties In the years OF
1904, 1905 and 1906. These results were

A bill has been introduced in the
state Legislature at the request Of Gov
ernor Buchtel providing for inspection
of the slaughter houses, meat and cold
storage plants of the state. Some of
the slaughter houses have been inspect
ed on the quiet lately and the discover
les made has resulted in the recon-
mendation by the governor for inspec-
tion Legislation. This is move in the
right direction. If men, in their greed
for gain, will persist in slaughtering
animals that are unfit for food, then
We should have legislation to prevent it.

Senator brakes local option bill has
passed second reading in the house.
The democrats in the senate have de-
layed the bill as much as possible and
have attacked it under the claim that,
II it becomes law, it will not secure
for the advocates of temperance what
they demand. The minority seems very
much afraid that some Legislation will
be secured by the majority that will be
deserving Of much credit. If the mi
nority really believed that this bill
would fail to be of any benefit to the
advocates Of local option, they would
be only too well pleased to have the re.
publican majority take the responsible.

The Thaw murder trial seems to be n
money maker for the yellow journals
and they are making the most Of II.
The prominence given to this case by
the daily press is enough to di.gust the

parties to this murder and trial belong
to Now York's wealthy 400 the press is
giving the trial prominence seldom
given TO u murder trial. Crime Is crime
no matter whether perpetrated by u
member Of the New York 400 or by a
