SEED CORN n
ga Macedonian Cry' ReverberntinE
Through Iowa. =
Sioux City Journal.

$1,000 ONS $50
Test your seed corn!
Iowa newspapers are making. this a,
Macedonian cry this year, and with good
reason. The taking of the advice gener-
ally by farmers means tens Of millions Of
dollars in Iowa pockets next winter. GEN.
eral disregard Of the advice will mean re-
lative hard times in Iowa next winter.
Corn is not the whole thing here, but it is
the biggest thing in sight.
The special need for seed corn warning
this spring lies in the fact that last years
Iowa crop was away below the average
for reproductive purposes. The coming of
the early freezeup in October, without any
preliminary frost, found a good deal Of the
corn soft. In an alarmingly large proper
ton Of it the reproductive germ was killed
outright. More damage in this direction
was done to corn in the crib during the
abnormally cold weather of the winter.
AS a consequence an unusually large per-
oentage of home grown corn available for
seed is worthless for that purpose. This
is not a guess. The fact has been demon
strated in numerous tests under the aus
pices of the Ames experiment station and
by private agencies. The corn may look
all right and feel all right and yet be
utterly lacking in terminating quality. The
only way to make sure that the corn is
fit for seed is to test its terminating quail
ity, and use only such seed as proves it's
fertility.
If all the farmers Of Iowa selected their
seed corn on looks 1t is a practical GER
tainty that there would not be half an
average crop Of corn in Iowa next fall.
The net loss on this short crop might be
more than 800. 900, 900. The danger is APP
palling enough IN. its proportions to make
any one who is Interested in Iowa pros
perity sit up and take notice,
A little trouble and a very modest ex-
pense in securing seed corn that will grow
will purchase absolute insurance against
the threatened short corn crop in Iowa
this year. Tho farmer who is not going to
this trouble and expense is committing
financial suicide.

Democratic organs are now shedding
crocodile tears over "the pitiable

mistake in retaining him in the cabi-

however, the retention of Mr.. Wilson
to give him an opportunity to make
the record for length Of service as a

and had he been dropped at that time
these same democratic organs would

The magazine publishers, frightened,
started after Hitchcock. The daily news
papers took up the fight. The farmers
feared the loss Of the rural free delivery.
And then, without Mr.. Hitchcock having
to employ a single. expert, without his
being obliged to decker with the railroads,
a hundred different Independent investi-
cations are started to find out just what
1t costs to carry the mail. 1t is discovered
that members OF congress shamefully abuse
the ranking privilege, that fake public
documents are authorized to evade the
postage rate, that the various departments
Of the government are loading a great
portion Of their expense on the postofflce,
so that Mr., Hitchcock is unable to make
a good showing.

Frank Harris Hitchcock Is q careful,
methodical, painstaking, alert, shrewd,
politician. He intends to hold his job and
get a better one some day. He is capable
of building up a strong political machine
and in the Postoffice department he has
the best chance in the country. He
is not carelessly antagonizing the maga~
zine publishers, nor the farmers along
the rural free delivery routes. No, in
deed! What he is after is the railroads.
He knows that the big transportation
companies have been charging the govern
ment altogether too much for carrying the
mails. He also knows how difficult 1t has
been to break the rate maintained by the
companies. He knows that the rail people
have always secretly combined to hold the
mail-carrying rate high. How could he
defeat their conspiracy? BY writing such
a report as he did. By getting the presi-
dent to stand for it. By bringing the
attention of the country to the facts, albeit
there were some exaggerations-but these
were merely to emphasize the point.

HORSE RACE EVENTS.
Fifty-rwo Races Entered In Harness
Events--Stakes Fisttering.

Fifty.Two Races Entered In Harness

The number of entries ON file Is a
mighty good indication that there Is to
be some interesting horse racing at
the State Fair this year. beginning Nov.
2 and continuing through ten days.
Sundays excepted. Of course. The re-
port Of the speed COMMITTEES shows
thar there are fifty-two entries In the
stake races, five In number. which ID
on an average Of more than ten entries
to the stake event.
Most of the horses, trotters and pac-
era. are Louisiana animals. but there
are some fast ones to come from mis-
sissippi. Oklahoma, Texas and Few
from away up North. Friends or their
owners have been to the louisiana
track and seen the fine track and ex.
ceIlent treatment furnished by the
management and that has prompted
them to urge entry In the events here
this year.
More attractive, though. than any
thing else to the horsemen. is the mag
nificent sum Of money offered the win
ners. The five stakes will mean the
awarding of $4,000 alone. divided as
follows: Stake No. 1. 2:S0 trot.
value $500: stake No. 2. a 2:20 pace,

In addition TO these five events for
harness horses there will be couple
of Louisiana futurity stakes. One Is
two-year-old pace for $3.50. and the
other is a three-year-old trot for $3.50.
Only Louisiana horses. Of course. will
be entered in these races.
Also. the association has arranged
to have two running horse races each
day. The number Of communications
received relative thereto indicates that
many will be entered. There will be
seven purses Of $500 value. Entries OF
these events close Oct. %.

rules will govern.
