kings Of the country the type of fl
nancier who manipulates the destinies
of the nation and made him one of the
central figures of his plot, sterp in his
attitude to all, even to his wife and
children and relentless towards his
enemies. The other vital element is
a young and beautiful daughter of a
supreme court judge, who is being
driven to the wall with Impeachment
and disgrace as the result of his right
eous decisions which are adverse to
the interests of this money king. To
save the honor of her father and his
life, the daughter enlists her services
against this financial giant and the
plot reveals the struggle of two keen
brains for the mastery.
The play is one of exceptional inter
est and dramatic force and while it is
serious in aspect it contains a fine
galaxy of wit, humor and pathos

THE sTANDPAT REDlCAMEN1.

When It was spread over Iowa. and
the nation that Governor Cummins was
a likely candidate for the presidential
nomination, expression multiplied from
standpat sources. Certainly they said
Cummins could have the delegation
without a contest. The congressional
delegation 1t was said was ready to
accede and assist to this end. Allison
would help. There was a general sigh
of sweetness from the standpat camp
that breathed willingness to support
the governor for the highest office in
the nation and the succession to
Roosevelt. One standpat paper and
strong supporter Of standpat policies
and candidates in Iowa expresses the
feeling thus: Iowa would be proud to
have Governor Cummins nominated
and would give him her solid support
in the national convention. He is at
this time the logical candidate in Iowa
for the presidency" Liston McMillen
writes to an Iowa paper urging the
governors name toward a candidacy
for vice president. Incidentally MI.
McMillen suggests that Mr.. Lacey be
the next governor of Iowa. He writes
from Mr.. Lacey's own town. Other

JUDGE EVANS REBUKE.

(Webster City Freeman-Tribune.)
1t is reported In dispatches frem
Fort Dodge that Judge Evans rebuked
the jury for it's finding in the Mac
Kown case, saying, among other
things; IF verdicts are to be res
turned in disregard of the evidence.
how in the world is justice to be
melted out and the laws e~nforced?,
IF juries shirk their responsibilities,
how is society to be safeguarded?"
Without special reference to the cas-
under consideration the Freeman
Tribune believes 1t improper for a
judge to rebuke a jury for its findings.
Members of the jury are under oath
to perform their duties as they. see
them, not as the Judge may see them.
| They are entitled to have their views
accepted in good faith and should not
be- subjected to reprfmand from the
judge if their Judgment fails to coin-
side with his.
When Judge Evans gave Soule, the
Iowa Falls embezzler who stole over
$50, 000, only eighteen months in pris-
on, many people wondered how in the
world is justice to be meted out and
the law enforced" If judges pro-
nounce such sentences, and if judges
"shirk responsibility how is society to
be safeguarded?" The Freeman
Tribune believes the press should be
very careful In criticising the verdicts
of juries or judges, as such criticism
may be unjust and tends to create
prejudice against the law enforce
ment machinery. 1t also believes that
iuries and witnesses should not be
subjected to rebukes by the judge nor
to abuse by the attorneys. Witnesses
and iuries are called upon to perform
a public duty, often against their will.
and the ends Of justice are not served
by rebuking the n or browbeating
the other.

The work conducted at the Marshall
county experiment station this year
has brought forth some new ideas and
has also emphasized some Of the re-
suits of previous years.
q The work has been interesting at ev-
cry turn and the results obtained may
be startling to some farmers who have
never attended a short course or any
corn school where the methods used
on experiment stations are brought
out. In order that the average far
mer may get a fair idea of this work
which is being done for him by his
state and also by his county, in work
ing out many of the difficult problems
for him, all that is necessary for him
to do is to study carefully their meth
DDS Inc results as given in the station
bulletins.
1t takes too much Of a farmers time
and money to work out these expert
ments on his own farm, even if he had
the required knowledge. So the next
best thing for him to do is to study
every method that is being tried at
not only his own county experiment
station, hut also the state government
stations. The bulletins on such work
can be obtained free of charge by any
one who will SEND his name and adj
dress to the director of the experiment
station at. Ames, and to the secretary
of agriculture at Washington, D. G.
But the county experiment station is
the one that deserves most careful
study by the farmers OF Marshall
county, as its results are likely to be
more nearly like the results the far
mer will obtain on his own farm, since
the soil Of the county farm is very
much like that of the balance Of the
county.
In studying the results of these K
periments, it should be remembered
side in the same soil, with the same
number of Kernels per hill, and that
they grew under the same conditions
of weather and soil treatment.
It will be noticed by carefully study
ing the copy Of the experimental plots,
published below, that the farmers va
rieties run much the same as last
year,; except, perhaps, there is a wider
range in quality. That is, the farmers
who had good strong seed last spring
had nearly as great a yield Of sound
corr as in 1905. While the farmers
who had weak seed had a much lower
yield and Of poor quality, as indicated
by the figures which follow the letter

age yield was 50A bushels per acre,
while the average of the plots marked
Strong was SO bushels. from the plots
marked Weak, AZ bushels, and from
the plots marked bad, 26 bushels per
acre. Hence, if only h seed from
the strong ears, instead' of that from
all of the ears, had been planted by
the farmer a gain of SA bushels per
acre would have been the result, with
a rash value of $3.50 per acre or nearly
twice the cost of harvesting the crop.
And all the labor necessary for testing
enough seed to plant 40 acres would
be only about ten hours work.

While FIVE, farmers had SEED which
gave an average of 62 1-5 bushels per
acre, five of their nefghbors were con-
tent to plow, disc, harrow, plant n
cultivate all season long and receive
for their labors corn which, under the
same conditions, yielded only 80 BUSH
els per acre, with a cash value of 1928
per acre less than their neighbors
corn with the higher yields. AS the
average farmer has about fifty acres
in corn, this careless method and poor
seed means a loss to him of $464.00 on
fifty acres alone. and all the care and
labor required to test his seed, reject
the weak and bad ears and save the
strong ones, will be about three days.
OR, in other words, the farmers with
the low yields could have earned 500
per day for each day they might have
worked in. preparing their seed. This
may not look very reasonable to some
farmers who have paid much
attention to corn but say "an corn
looks alike to them" and testing corn
is bosh."
Last year we got seed from two
farmers living on the same half section
of land; one had been very careful
with his seed, the other had not. Each
planted forty acres to corn. From their
samples which were planted at the
county experiment station, l noticed
one was getting a yield Of 81 bushels
per acre while the other was getting
only 81 bushels per acre. On summing
up their yield I found that the farmer
vyha was careful and painstaking with
his seed got 3,240 bushels off his field
while the other received 1,240 bushels.
a difference in yield of 1000 bushels,
which had a cash value this fall OF
LOO. Pretty good pay for a few
days work spent in preparing i've or
six bushels Of good seed to plant, be-
sides, there is more satisfaction in that
style Of farming.
