BIG CORN BANQUET
Noted Men of All Interests Unite
on Common Topic
METHODS TO BETTER CORN
"ouit Mining Your Land and Go &c
Farming" Keynote of Henry
WalIace's Advice-Over
200 Present.
METHODS TO BETTER CORN

Des Moines, Dec, 1.-two hun
drod we'll dressed gentlemen smok
ing corn cob pipes, sat around tho
banquet tables at the Coliseum Sat
urday night and told and heard 9th
ers tell what is needed for the i'm
provement of the corn and grain il
the state of Iowa.
The occasion for the banquet was
grain improvement day at the corn
show and the corn cob pipes were
but an adjunct to the cereal banquet
served by the domestic science de.
university.
From soup to nuts with the single
exception Of roast beef-which was
corn fed-the dinner was cOncOcted
from cereals. Corn oysters, corn sal
ad, corn punch, corn crisp; every
thing was corn, even to the harmoni
GUS climax of corn cob pipes in place
of the cigars which usually follow q
banquet.
According to the agricultural ex.
needs most to increase her yield of
corn from thirty-two bushels an acre
to double the amount.
More choice on the selection of
seeds.
More care in fertiliZing.
More money placed in the hands
of the state agricultural experts for
the dissemination Of agricultural edu-
cation.
More agriculture taught in the
public schools.
Short courses and experimental
stations established in every county.
More cooperation from the press.
A correspondence school of agri-
culture.
And lastly, according to Henry Wal
lace, farming, instead of mining the
SOIL
AS the result of the meeting the
coming legislature will be asked to
appropriate the sum OF 100000 to
be used toward the establishing in
every county in the state short
courses in agriculture, thus taking
education to the farmer who is I'M
able to take the time to go to an
agricultural college. The CONNER
cial club of Des Moines probably will
foster the movement and it will ask
that Prof. P G. Holden of Ames be
put in charge of the work.
Many directly and all indirectly
traced the source of their livelihood
to the corn grown in the state and
declared that it was for their COM
mon interest that all possible should
be done to secure a better grade of
the cereal than is produced in Iowa
at the present time.
In many respects the food served
was the feature of the banquet. From
soup to coffee everything was cereal
and was prepared by Mrs. Edith
Charlton Salisbury and Miss Cert.

science department at Ames.

in the legislature this winter.

Less Cattle, More Horses in Iowa.

Less Cattle, More Horses in Iowa.
There was decrease of S3,042 in
the number Of cattle in Iowa in 1910
as compared in 1909; an increase of
42,576 in the number of horses IN the
state in 1910 as compared with 1909,
an increase of 1884 head of mules
in Iowa this year as compared with
last and an increase Of 195,104 head
of sheep this year as compared with
last. Thus it is seen that while Iowa
is declining as cattle state it is
going forward as a sheep raising
state.
These figures are taken from the
biennial report of State Auditor
Bleakly. The report is by far the
most valuable and comprehensive
which the department has ever pro-
duced. 1t was compiled under the
direction of Auditor Bleakly and the
personal supervision OF his chief de-
putty, Joseph Byrnes.
The taxable value of the cattle de-
creased $36,O35 in the last year, the
taxable value of the horses increased
$1,911,5S6; the taxable value of mules
increased $142,473; the taxable value
Of sheep increased $45,494.
The number of hogs in the state
over six months old decreased 614,-
623 this year as compared with last
; but their value increased $797,93O
this year as compared with last.

PUT BOARD ON SALARY
Reported that Governor Will Re
commend Changes in Law Re-
iating to Parole Board.

Des Moines, Dec. Ex-Governor
Carroll, in his message to the gen.
eral assembly this winter, will rec.
ommend to that body that it put the
state parole board on a regular sal,
airy instead of per diem as at pres
ent, so his private secretary, G. G.
Nye, stated.
1t has also been reported generally
about the state house and over the
state, that the governor intends to
recommend that the parole beard law
be SO changed as to divide the state
up into three districts and put one
member OF the parole board in charge
of each district. Secretary Nye
states that he has no information as
to this reported plan Of the governor.
1t has been shown" said Secre.
tary Nye, that the members of the
parole board should give all their
time to parole matters instead OF on
now. The work piles up too fast
for the board to take care of it as
fast as it should be. Many men in
the prisons who should be paroled
are kept within the walls for weeks
because the parole BOARD is so behind
with it's work TIA il cannot reach
and pass on the ASPIRATIONS Of the
men for parole
Secretary Nye stated also that the
governor will make recommendations
that the per diem system of compen-
sation be abandoned in all state de-
partments where the work is such
as to justify the placing of officials
on regular salary.
The report is out, too, that the
governor intends to recommend
changes in the state board of educa-
ton system, but Secretary Nye said
he has heard of no such contemplat-
ed action on the part of the govern
or.
The board is doing good worl-
and has saved the state thousands
of dollars" said Secretary Nye.
