COWN|E IS BLAMED
BY Board Of Control for Outbreak
at MitcheIlvi|Ie Reformatory
REPORT MADE TO GOVERNOR
The state Board Takes Up in Detail
the Hearings and Quotes From
Witnesses as They Are
Examined.

Des Moines, May FOLLOWING are
some of the conclusions reached by
the members of the present state
board of control in its exhaustive re
port of the conditions at the Mitch
ellville girls industrial school. Thu
report covers 1S1 typewriter pages
and gives in detail the testimony o.
seventeen witnesses, most OF whom
were the girls at the institution. The
report alleges that Mr.. Cownie was
largely responsible for the lack Of
discipline and the unrest and that
many of the complaints of the girls
were, by their own testimony, untrue
The report was filed with Governor
Carroll by the members OF the board
and is signed by all of them.
The evidence taken and knowledge
otherwise acquired force us to the
conclusion that the late chairman of
the board of control was the chief
factor in causing the outbreak.
Miss Garrison objected to the bois-
ferrous manner of Mr.. Cownie towards
the girls and to his habit Of putting
his hands on and being familiar with
them.
Mr. Cownie criticised the food in
the presence Of the girls. His course
was such that at times girls would
refuse to obey their officers.
Mr.. Cownie told the girls that Miss
Garrison was mean and quarrelsome
and could not manage the institution,
Another cause of the trouble was
raising the maximum age limit from
Is to II years.
The girls are not allowed to wear
corsets.
Music has not been prohibited.
There is an orchestra of ten pieces
There are pianos in every cottage.
Summed up the report is as fol.
lows:
When the present superintendent
took charge the discipline was lax
and the inmates inclined to disorder
The modes and methods of discipline
in force before and after Miss CARR.
son took charge were the same in
general character. Corporal punish
ment was used by Mr.. Fitzgerald as
1t Is used by her. Under Miss CARR.
son. prior to March Is last it was in
frequent and mild. Since that time
there have been several outbreaks
and the punishment inflicted in one
or two of the later ones was more
severe than formerly and an unusual
number of girls were Dunjshed hut
We do not find that it was inhumane.
1t seems to have had the effect OF
quieting the girls and they are now
receiving comparatively little punish
ment. They lave been quiet for sew
eral weeks. We have enumerated all
the methods of discipline now in
vogue and do not think any of them
inhumane or subject to just criti-
cism."

crop Season Far Advanced.

Despite the acrobatic weather OF
the last two weeks, the crop growing
season is still far in advance of the
average and the general crop outlook
Is very promising, according to the
statement of DR.. George M. Chappell,
section director of the Iowa weather
and crop service, in his weekly bulle-
tin of crop conditions for the week
ending May /. The bulletin is as fol-
lows:
The fore part of the week was I'M
settled and unseasonably cold, with
freezing temperature and snow fur.
ries over the larger part of the state.
but Thursday and Friday were excess
sively hot with high winds. The max
imum temperature on those days
ranged from 80 to SO degrees, which
caused an excess of temperature fol
the week. The precipitation was
very light and at many stations, es-
pecially in the western portion of
the state, it was nil. Reports indi-
cate that the hot, dry winds and gen
eral droughty condition, following so
closely after the severe freezing
weather, are affecting the grass and
small grain crops in the western dis
tricts where the drought has been
the most severe. But for the state at
large, those crops are in good condi-
generally. Rain 10, however, needed
in all districts to soften the surface
soil and to start the growth of the
plants. The late varieties of fruit
seem to have escaped serious damage
from the recent freezing tempera.
ture and garden truck is recovering
under the effect of warm weather.
Practically all of the corn ground Is
ready for the planter and the planting
will become general during the COM
ing week. The season is still far in
advance of the average and the gen.
eral crop outlook is very promising.
Test Seed Corn or Go Broke?
"As the result of the action of spec
ulators who are flooding the state
with poor seed corn, the farmers of
Iowa will be broke next fall unless
they thoroughly test their seed corn,'
said Dairy and Food Commissioners
Wright. Commissioner Wright has
been busy prosecuting as many of
these fellows as possible for him to
get evidence against, but the condl-
tons are still serious and unless great
care rs given to the testing OF seed
corn millions of dollars will be lost
to Iowa farmers. ut is a crime, this
neglect to test seed corn this year"
said Commissioner Wright. "The
state is being flooded with carloads of
seed corn of very poor quality and
those farmers who plant their corn
without testing will go broke this
fall. warrant you $4,000 farmers
have bought seed corn from these
spectators. For instance, three car
loads are On the tracks at Storm Lake
and are being sold out to the farmers.
This corn costs the spectators rs
cents and they sell for So, claiming
it is the best 1908 seed corn. That
which has been tested has not shown
over "a or 40 per cent termination.
In some instances half of the ear has
been mouldy. One farmer bought $4S
worth, and not bit of it tested over
"a per cent"
