Corn Not Safe.
The killing frost OF last night is con-
ysldered by experts as having done a great
deal of damage to the corn Of Iowa. In
this city even ON high ground it froze ice
to the thickness of window glass. Corn
was late in planting this year and for this
reason should have an extra late fall to
give it time to mature. Hon. John Cownie
OF the State Board of Control, and recog-
nized as one Of the best authorities on
corn and farming in the state said today
that in many places not half of the corn
was out of the way of frost.

kicked in the face a week ago and his nose

able amount of anti-toxine but without
| results.
