it would be necessary to plant hun
dred acres to receive yield that should
be received from 60 acres. Or in other
words it shows that in Iowa the farm
ers use nine million acres to receive a
yield that should be raised on six mil
lion acres.
Since it is so important to get good
seed corn, how are we going to find
out whether our seed is good or not.
The best way / know of is to try the
individual ear test. A termination box
can be fixed UP so that samples of the
grain for seed from each ear of 100 ears
could be taken and placed in a germ!-
mating box, and be distinguished, by dl-
viding the box into 100 sections and the
ears from which the samples are select
ed laid out according to numbers, so
that the kernels in the terminating box
could be identified with the ears from
which they came.
Leave them in the box. which is fill
ed with earth or sawdust for a week,
and then examine each kernel If 1t
has sent out its root and stem stalks,
the ear from which the kernels were
taken is apt to be strong and healthy
These ears can be used for seed. 1t re-
quires but II average ears to seed an
acre.
Selected and Tested Seed.
After the seed has been tested and
selected for planting, it should be grad
ed according to size. Then in planting
the planter plate must be of a size to
allow the even planting of each size
and should be changed to meet the de-
mands a different planter plate being
used for each sized kernel Then in Gull
tivation all the weak stalks must be
cut down, for these shed their pollen
even though they do not bear an ear
Corn is our labor crop, and he who
pays attention to his seed ears, tests
their vitality, then grades his seed and
calipers his planter plate, so that 1t will
drop the kernels of tested seed accurate
ly, will receive great reward for his
toll"
Prof. Bowman illustrated his address
with charts and diagrams which en-
abIed all to understand. His address
made a tremendous hit and efforts viii
undoubtedly be made to secure him for
a series of corn talks in different parts
of the state.

KANSAS CASE DISMISSED.
Paola Refining Company Against the
NJ. X. & Il. Railway

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE govern
ment will presume no greater sanctity
in respect of rates established by a
state railroad commission than of those
voluntarily established by railroads
both being presumed to be reasonable.
The interstate commerce commission in
announcing this conclusion, held that it
is justified in reducing a rate only
when after full consideration it be-
lieves the rate is unreasonable, unduly
discriminatory or otherwise in viola
ton of the law.
The complaint in the case. that of
the Paola, Kansas, refining company
against the Missouri Kansas & Texas
railway, was dismissed without pre-
judice. The complaint involved allega-
tions of short haul rates exceeding the
long haul tariff but the commission
held that the rate adjustment in view
of traffic conditions does not violate
the law.

DORANDO'S HEART IN
B A d SHAPE AFTER
RACE, SAYS DOCTOR
BY DR.. Jos. Dreamer.

81 examined Dorando Immediately
after he was carried from the track.
His heart was in bad shape and he
was in state of total collapse. In
my opinion, the condition of his heart
was due partly to overstimulation.
His handlers gave him stuff from a
bottle which they said was coffee.
Even coffee taken in such quantities
would be likely to affect his stomach
and cause his collapse. There wasn't
a bruise on him to show that the fall
did any damage.

PETTIGREW ON TARIFF BILL.
Moral Issue as Great, He Says, as That
Which eliminated in War.

Sioux Falls.-Upon returning from
long stay at Washington, former
United States Senator, r. F. Petit
grew gave out striking interview,
denouncing the so-called Aldrich tariff
bill.
1T is well for Mr.. Aldrich TO con-
slider whether he is not raising a NOR
al issue as great as the moral issue
which eliminated in the war between
the states" Mr.. Pettigrew declared.
Then the great moral issue was
the enslavement of black men; now 1t
is whether white men shall consent
to become the slaves of organizations
which possess none of the elements of
human sympathy or humanity with
which natural persons are endowed.
A majority of senators are representa-
tives of artificial persons, known as
corporations"
In Mr.. Pettigrew's opinion, argu-
ment, reason and commanding ability
had nothing to do with passing the
tariff bill. He particularly attacked
the sugar schedule, saying that cane
sugar is produced by negroes, and
beet sugar by plural wives and chill
dren of Mormons, and that each en-
riches only the multi-millionaires.

FARMER REGARDS
WORK AS SCIENCE
Now Sends Sons and Daughters
to the Best of Colleges.

Never in the history of agriculture
has there been such forward move
men on the part of the farmer and for
the farmer on the part of state and
nation, as is noted at the present
time. Prosperity for the last decade
has been the constant companion of
the man who clothes and feeds the
nation. All this good fortune that has
fallen to the cause of agriculture has
not come unmerited. Progress has
been made all along the line in solv-
ing the various problems dealing with
the tillage Of the soil and the produc-
ton OF bountiful crops.
Internationally. the farmers are not SO
far behind their city cousins as one
would naturally think. and If we take
proportionate numbers into considera-
ton, the farmers are ahead. The
blessings Of modern civilization and
the advantage Of up-to-date methods
and labor-saving conveniences are en-
joyed almost as generally by the
country folk as by those living tn the
city.
It seems almost needless repetition
to cite how, through the agency OF the
telephone. rural free delivery and in
,terurban electric railway the former
isolation Of the farmer from the city
has disappeared. All these modern
Developments have their influence on

fully watched. A sudden change of
wind may check fire, or may turn it
of in a new direction and perhaps
threaten the lives of the men at work
by driving it suddenly down upon
them.
When all the conditions are favor
able, forest fires sometimes reach
gigantic proportions. A few such
fires have attained historic import
ance. One of these is the Miramichi
fire of 1925. 1t began its greatest
destruction about one o'clock in the
afternoon of October of that year,
at place about sixty miles above the
town of Newcastle, on the Miramichi
river, in New Brunswick. Before ten
o'clock at night it was 20 miles below
Newcastle. In nine hours it had de-
stroyed a belt of forest 80 miles long
and rs miles wide. Over more than
100000 acres almost every living
thing was killed.
The Peshtigo fire of October, 1871,
