Waterloo. March 15.--Seed corn at
S. per bushel Is high, and doubly so
when the seed proves to be of poorer
obtained from their own fields.
A smooth-tongued agent, who knew
all about corn, and who carried some
splendid samples, succeeded in bum
Going number of Black Hawk county
farmers by taking orders at IS per
bushel, which were later filled with
grain that is pronounced very inferior
to that which can be obtained at home
for the usual market price.
1t was during the summer that the
agent made his rounds and he car
ried with him a number Of superb ears
Of the finest yellow dent that any
farmer ever feasted his eyes upon. He
represented seed house at Rochester,
N. Y, and claimed that the corn was
the product Of the famous Genesee val
ley in that state. Every ear was SYM
metrical in shape; the rows of corn
were straight and the grains of uni
form size; the cobs were small and
the grains long and well filed out In
fact every requirement for first class
sample Of prize winning seed corn
was fulfilled in the ears carried by the
seed house agent. The agent was a
corn expert and farmers who talked
with him say that he could give point
ers to even the average short course
instructor in respect to judging corn
and methods of corn breeding.
High Priced Seed Arrives.
A few days ago the corn began to
arrive and was distributed thru local
farm implement house, but the goods
delivered failed to meet the specifica-
tions in some very important particu-
lars The grain was shelled, but the
seed house had evidently failed to abide
by the agents promise to remove the
butts and tips before Smelling, as grains
from the butt and tip ends Of the ears
were very evident among the seed. The
corn In every way was much inferior
to the average that Black Hawk
county farmer would obtain by going
direct to his own or his neighbors

Creston.
Land values In Union county that
have long been too low, when
compared with prices elsewhere.
have increased very fast during the
past two or three years, especially the
last six months. The latest is an offer
of $1OO per acre made to Hon. w. w.
Morrow, state treasurer, by w. III.
Symington for his fine 760 acre farm
north of town. Mr.. Morrow expecting
to return to Alton when his services
as state treasurer have expired, thought
too much Of the old farm even to let
1t go at that price, so Mr.. Symington
made his offer in vain.
