KING CORN SAD
Seed Corn Special. An Hour Well
Spent With Corn Specialists In
Extra Wednesday afternoon

The corn meeting Wednesday af-
ternoon was great success. The
farmers although very busy turned
out in goodly number to hear what
the Professor had to cay to them on
the all important subject IF seed
corn and corn raising. About two
hundred and fifty were in atten-
dance and listened to the professors
plain, practical talk, which wAs
filled with pointers on the impor-
tance of great care in the selection
of seed corn and good advice on
the subject. The meeting is repor-
ted to have been the best which has
been held along the Rock Island
line 80 far. Farmers cannot be too
careful in selecting their seed corn
this year. The unreasonable wea.
ther during the ripening period of
1909 crop left many fields in an i'm
mature conditions. The portion
that was well housed before winter
set in shows about 25 to SO per cent
fairly good seed corn, while the
portion of the crop remaining in
the fields all winter shows from
trace, to 10 or Is percent good, at
best.

WALTER l. SMITH
Rev. ]. c. Pike Of The Capital Park
Methodist Church, DeS MoineS In
His Sermon Sunday Evening

THE papers have been suggest
ing the possibility of Judge Smith
being elected speaker ofthe nation
al house, but there does not seem
to be any excitement over the news"
said the Rev. Mr.. Pike. eft, how
ever, a foreign fleet we're to appear
on our coast tomorrow, excitement
would be at fever heat. Yet the
presence of a CRATER like Judge
Smith in the speakers chair would
be greater menace to our national
welfare than any hostile fleet that
would be likely to come against ue.
III we were as keenly alive to the in
ternal dangers as we ought to be,
there would be such intense indig-
nation throughout the whole couu-
try, that in the face of it, not one
member of the house would dare to
cast his vote for Judge Smith for
that sxalted position. Sunday
