The remedy lies In termination tests Of
each ear to be used for seed. The seed
growers of the state are now making, or
completed, tests by which the sterile
grain is eliminated. That but a small per-

Big Loss IL Possible.
1t is estimated that the loss to the state
from bad seed could easily reach SIS, 900, 600
on the years crop. This figure Is based
on the presumption mat one ear out of
every six planted should be bad. It is said
that some OF the tests have shown that in
many localities the percentage of bad seed
Is even higher. Nebraska's corn acreage
for the last, year was $4,000. II one-sixth
OF this land should be rendered inefficient
and practically idle by planting with i'm
perfect seed the Inevitable result would be
loss of the use Of more than a million
acres. The loss, however, would not end
there, The cultivation Of the fields would
cover alike the fertile and the unfertiie
hills and Il would be wasted then by the
same ratio In which the crop failed.
Student Of the situation attribute the
conditions existing to both bad weather,
which directly affected the years crop. and
a degeneracy in some OF the grain itself
While much OF the Nebraska corn has
been improved in quality by breeding in
the last few years, many farmers are still

E. j. McVann, secretary of the traffic
bureau of the Commercial club, who has
returned from Washington where he went
in connection with some rate cases and
who heard the arguments advanced by the
Kansas City boosters for an appropriation
for the Missouri river improvements, has

Heavy loss from imperfect seed threatens
the next Nebraska corn crop, This loss is
variously estimated from Sl0.OOO.0oO to $lb,-
100000 GrRtn men and agriculturists are
generally aware Of the situation and urge
that the farmers make tests of their seed
and take special precautlon that the fields
shall be planted with fertile n productive
grain. The immediate source of danger to
the crop lies In the effect that the weather
conditions have had upon the grain of the
state from which the seed for the spring
planting will be chosen. The presence OF
much moisture through a wet fall and hard
winter freezes Is believed to have rendered
sterile a hrge percentage Of the grain,
making It fatally unfit for planting pur-
poses, or at least so weakening It that the

Better Are Needed.
Better housing Of the grain is urged by
the grain dealers of Omaha. The loss to
the farmers through exposure to the
weather alone ran into millions on the 1909
crop.
The loss to Nebraska corn through the
lack OF proper facilities for housing and
protecting the crop after it was matured
probably averaged not less than Z or s
cents a busheI for the whole state" de-
clared an officer of the Omaha Grain ex-

special committee Of the club having the
matter In charge has done nothing.
The impression gained by Mr.. McVann
is that Kansas City expects to have a boat
line in operation this summer, and when
boats once get to navigating the stream,
1t will be up to the government to keep
the channel clear so the boats may get
through.
Kansas City has raised $65O,OOO for a boat
line and will raise more money to buy more
boats. omaha business men are urged to
take stock in the Kansas City project in
the hope hat the boat lines may be ex-
tended to Omaha and in this way an inter-

gineers are showing a disposition to
again get into the game.

men show their interest by signing up
an organizer will come to Lincoln and
proceed to charter a local. That this

that already enough have signified

SOCIETY AIDS STRIKERS.
Police Arrest Alleged Rioters, But
Make Bad Mistake.

Chicago--W Well known club and soci-
ETY. women dumbfounded the police de-
partment through interference in the
strike of the garment workers.
Mounted police had charged threaten
ing mobs Of strikers and made numer-
GUS arrests in three sections of the
city, only to be completely nonplussed
when met by obdurate groups of the
elite of Chicago's women who produced
engraved calling cards at police sta
tions in lieu Of bsilbonds.
1t was a new experience for the po-
lice and plainly confused them. A
score Of these women champions of
the garment workers, who faced the
rioting, were taken into custody.
They were Immediately released, how
ever, when their identity became
known to the police.
One Of them was injured when struck
by policeman's club, but her name
did not become known, as she was hur-
riedly placed in an automobile and taxi
en- to her home.
Most of the women of prominence
involved in the demonstrations were
CARRIED as working girls, and for this
reason the police could not distinguish
them from strikers until after arrests
had been made.
II will take oath that we were doing
absolutely nothing beyond the law"
