The Law OF the Roads.

The law of the roads as to auto
mobiles has been enunciated for the
first time by the supreme court of
Iowa. The owners of automobiles
have the same right in the road and
on the streets as the drivers of hor-
ses or persons riding bicycles or
travelling by some other vehicle.
But they are to use this means of
locomotion with due regard for the
rights of others having occasion to
travel on the highways. In the case
before the court Fl. NJ. Cramer ran
his car up to a blacksmith shop be-
fore which was hitched a team be-
longing to Hugh House and stopped
his machine but did not stop the
sparker. The moment he stopped
the machine the House horse reared
up, broke away and ran. House
sued for damages and recovered.
The supreme court says that lie
case was made for the jury and re-
versed the judgment of the lower
court. 1t decides that Cramer had
right to be there. that he did not
display negligence and that no fail
recovery is possible.-Estervill

that Secretary Taft is to deliver the

the greatest public attention, par

Weed Investigation at Ames.

The Importance of the invasion OF
new weed pests into Iowa with seeds
brought from other states is fully
explained in bulletin No. 50 just
published by the Iowa Experiment
Station. During the year 1906
about four hundred samples Of Glow
er, alfalfa and timothy seed were
sent into the Station by farmers from
all parts of the state to be tested for
adulteration, impurities and vitality.
Seeds of dodder, Canada thistle, fox
tail, sheep sorrel, dock and plantain
were some of the impurities revealed
The average termination of the al
falfa samples was 81 per cent. Tim
othy seed on the market show the
status of these seed is very low also,
the percentage of plump-appearing
seed being close to GA per cent. OF
one hundred and thirty samples of
clover examined only 2 per cent
were found to be pure, the average
|impurity being about 2 per cent.
This very interesting bulletin may
be obtained by writing to director

learned a lesson that would be
