ESPECIAL INTEREST in CORN
Special Agent Had Orders From Lon
don Colonial Office to Stop at Ames
coIIese-FaiIed on Tour. to Secure
Four Tobacco Specialists to Return
to South Africa With Him.
Special to Times Republican.

Ames, , Jan 1S.-Perhaps the most
at the Iowa State College during the
past few years, was Mr.. George M.
Odlum. of the department of agricu'-
ture at Salisbury of the colony OF
Rhodesia, South Africa. He is the Of
fetal representative of the British
government, and has the control of
agricultural matters in the colony of
Rhodesia. 1t was as special agent
with orders from the London colonial
office, that he stopped at Ames. and,
while investigating all kinds of agri-
cultural matters, he was particularly
interested in corn as grown and devel-
oped in Iowa.
Tobacco, of which there are large
amounts grown in his country, will re-
ceive considerable attention from Mr..
Odlum, while he is in this country.
He says there is dearth of good
tobacco men in the world and that he

to get four specialists in this line to
go back with him, but that they abb
solutely cannot be had. This, he says,
is a line of work that the agricultural
colleges of America are not pushing at
all, and that it is one of the best
lines for a young man to start into to
make a career. Mr.. Odlum is Canad-
ian by birth, but graduated at Mich
igan Agricultural College at Lansing.
He went over to South Africa immed-
lately upon receiving his diploma, and
entered the employ of a foreign mis-
sion school as farm manager. His rise
to responsible position is character
istic of new country. While occupying
this humble position, plague struck
the herds of the neighborhood in which
he was working, and wrought an al
most complete devastation. Careful
precautions enabled Mr.. Odlum to save
the herd of stock with which he was
working He then became interested in
a scientific study of the disease which
had caused so much damage A micro
scopic study revealed the fact that it
was bacterial germ disease, and nat
urally he deducted the fact that in
many respects it was like foot and
mouth disease" and other such that
are spread by germs. He wrote and
lectured upon his Investigations, and
soon became a marked man and the
ascent of the ladder was easy
Mr.. Odlum was impressed with the
Of the work being done at
the Iowa State College along live
stock, dairy and grain lines, and said
that he regretted that such school
was an almost undreamed Of thing in
South Africs but that few public
minded men fld probably promote
one in the n future.

Killing Herd That Destroys Alfalfa
Special to Times Republican.
Walnut, Jan. 1S.-Hugh Pritchard,
who lives five miles southwest of Wal
nut. has problem he is unable to
solve. Mr. Pritchard has fine field
Of alfalfa and he has also a lot of corn
in the shock, all of which is fast be-
ing destroyed by a herd of 40 to 30
deer which make their home on his
farm, despite his efforts to "shoo" them
away.
Any time of the day he can count
deer in punches Of Is to 20 in various
parts of his farm. A neighbor OF
Pritchard's says he has seen as many
as rs together in that vicinity. They
are quite tame and frequently invade
the farm yards Of the vicinity.
The deer have grown in numbers
rapidly the past few years, from herd
formerly owned by Mr.. Cuppy near
Avoca. They became wild and es-
capped from his enclosure. No one dares
to kill the deer or to even modest
them, under penalty Of the law, nor
has he the right to pen them and keep
them under control. He is puzzled to
know what to do to protect his fields.
