Ames, Feb. 10.-Professor Holden.
superintendent of the agricultural ex-
tension department Of Iowa State Col
lege, has issued final warning re-
garding the condition Of seed corn this
year, and has given to the farmers Of
the state instructions in making sat
isfactory test of their seed. The seed,
he says, is the worst in years and the
testing of every ear is urged. His
method follows:
Test six kernels from each ear in
tended for seed. Do it the last half of
February and the first half of March.
If you must buy seed, get it of a
neighbor or as near home as possible.
The seed corn which is to be planted
this spring is the worst that Iowa has
had for many years. The very hard
freezes which came the second week
in October killed a large part of the
corn then in the field. Many who had
their seed saved before that freeze are
finding that the vitality is bad.
During the annual short course at
Ames all of the 7S6 samples of corn
entered for prizes, were tested for vi
tally. These samples represent the
very best seed of the state and are
much above the average. The following
table shows the results Of the test:

Charles Fl. Everett of Racine
to Have Charge of Most
Interesting Exhibit
sWARMs T0WORk ON GROUNDS

The progress made by the bee breed
ers Of Wisconsin will be shown in an
elaborate show of apiarian products
in the county exhibit building at the
state fair. There will be twenty eight
classes this year as against fifteen
heretofore and the prize list has been
increased by nearly $500 as an incen-
tive to farmer EXHIBITORS.
Charles H. Everett, Racine editor of
The Wisconsin Agriculturist, is promot-
ing the bee and honey show and has
already received entries from breeders
in eight counties where farmers are
specializing in the bee industry and
their products. Possibly the most
interesting exhibit in this department.
will be the several live bee demonstra-
tions made by exhibits from Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Iowa. These dem
onstrations and exhibitions with live
bees will take place in enclosed cages,
each exhibitor furnishing his own cage.
To the ordinary onlooker, this remark
able feat is an extremely hazardous
one. The exhibitor enters the screened
enclosure and opens several hives, let
ting loose in each instance $4,000 bees
or more. The average visitor to the
fair would just as soon take his chances
on entering a den of wild beasts, but
these bee demonstrators fill their hats
with the liveliest kind of singers, per-
hitting the bees to crawl all over their
heads. face, barred arms, while they ex-
plain how docile and gentle these are
when they are in the company of
friends. The "bee wizard as these
demonstrators are called, vii. be an
interesting feature of this years fair,
and together nearly $500 in cash prizes
is offered for these exhibitions.
Special prizes are also offered for
the largest, best and most attractive
exhibition of honey, for the most orig
inal design in comb honey, for the
most original and attractive design in
beeswax and for candles made of honey.
The contests are open to all, but each
exhibit must be the product of bees
owned by the exhibitor.

There is a lot of work to be done by
the committee in charge of the cere-
monies in connection with the laying
of the corner stone of the city hall on
Labor Day between now and the 9Th
Of September if the celebration is to
be a success and if thee is to be any
kind of a celebration at all that is
the kind Of celebration the people of
the city will want and will expect. The
time is short to arrange all of the de-
tails for the somewhat ambitious pro-
gram which is under consideration and
for that reason all of the societies,
clubs, and individuals invited to take
part in the exercises and the business
men and manufacturers requested to
furnish floats should reply promptly to
the invitations sent out by the commit
tee so that il may be know as soon as
possible just how much help the com
mittee may depend upon. The exer-
cises can be made a credit to the city
but only if all of those called upon do
their part to help the work along. The
committee is willing to do any amount
of work in preparation for the affair
but they can accomplish little unless
their efforts are seconded by those who
are invited to take part in the cere-
monies.

WILL GIVE A PLAY.

"Ici on parle Francais'' one of the
playlets to be given under the auspices
of the Men S club at Guild hall on
Thursday evening Sept %, was first
produced in London in 1859, and was
considered one of the best farces of the
day. 1t relates the troubles of a Ms.
Spriggins who. in order to add to his
income, rents out his apartments at the
seaside with sign in the windows
"Ici on parle Francois" (Here French
is spoken). The only French Spriggins
knows is some he has learned from /
book entitled "French Before Break
fast. - and his efforts to address some
of his dodgers in that language and al
so to understand what they are saying,
lead to some very ludicrous situations.
Spriggins wife and daughter, the maid,
and irate Major and his wife, and the
Frenchman in love with Spriggins
daughter form a combination of charac
ters that keeps the audience in a. roar
from the start until Spriggins annunces
that his method of Getting lodgings"
in the future will be to Elet lodgings
alone The cast will be published later.

That the real estate market in Ke-
nosha is in a healthy condition was
demonstrated this week when whole
subdivision of fftytwo lots and fac
tory site was sold in one day. The lots
were not sold to one man but to be-
tween thirty and forty customers, show
ing conclusively that Kenosha realty is
much sought after and is considered a
good thing to put surplus money into.
There are several large subdivision
deals which are being fixed up and will
be put on the market in the near future
and there is little doubt but that these
lots also will be much sought after.

it, reports to the contrary notwith7
standing. Even the much talked of
Texas corn crop, which in June was
predicted an almost complete failure.
will ruin over sixty per cent to the
good. OF course there are sections
where some of the crops will be Light
and some patches utterly ruined but
take the country as whole and the
crops will average up to the standard;
this condition being helped out, of
course, by certain sections which have
"bumper" crops. 1t will do no good

We often wonder when we read the
accounts of the splendid Fairgrounds
provided and maintained by other cities
no more progressive and certainly no
Weather than Kenosha if these cities
have the same trouble in keeping order
in their Fairgrounds at night and pre-
venting the destruction of the equip
ment Of the grounds as the men and
women who are devoting their time and
money to the buildingu up of these play
grounds in this city have to struggle
with constantly. If Kenosha has any
reputation as law abiding community
to preserve it might begin by protecting
the breathing places of its children.

Gratis did not. In test vote at the

on the votes of twenty-one delegates

twenty-one whose ballots decided the

IT twentyo delegates put county
option plank in their platform, while

very likely we should have a, hundred
thousand Democrats and Republicans

This situation in one degree or an

reason why voters should not express
themselves directly upon the question at
