Deadly Encounter.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. March 29.-James Far
rer, residing in this city, is dying as
result of injuries sustained in a fight
with the Austrian members of the ce-
ment plant colony, two weeks ago. 1t
is rumored that thirsty denizens go out

this said to be true on Sundays. Far
rer became entangled in a fistic en-
counter with the foreign laborers and
sustained injuries about the head
which now threaten to cost him his
life.
Resulting from a dispute with a
number of Austrians out at the cement
plant Sunday night, Claude and Elmer
Palmer two young men, sustained Sc
we're injuries. They were brought into
the City in an express wagon and We're
both taken to a physician to have
gashes in their heads stitched up. Beer
bottles and other weapons We're
brought into use, during the fight. The
cement plant is without the jurisdic-
ton of the. city and it is thought that
the matter will be brought to the at
tention of the county authorities.

AMEs COLLEGE EXPERTS SAY
CORN CROP MAY BE GREAT
LY cuRTAlLED.
EVERY FARMER SHOULD TEST
SEED CORN BEFORE PLANTING
Seed Corn Special Finds Conditions
Better Along Rock Island Main Line
Than in Lower Tiers Of Counties =
Suggestion for lnsurins Seed in Flu
ture.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 29.-One-half the
seed corn intended for planting in Iowa
this spring is worthless and will not
terminate. This is the discovery made
by the experts of the State Agricultural
College who are traversing the state
this week on the Holden Seed Corn
special being run over the Rock Island
railroad.
UNLESS Iowa farmers test their seed
corn this spring the states yield will
fall below 200 million bushels for the
first time in it's history" declares Prof.
NJ l.. Bowman, secretary of the Iowa
State Corn Growers Association, and
former head of the farm crops depart
ment ait the State Agricultural College.
Weather conditions last year were
about as bad as they could possibly be.
The summer was wet and below the
normal temperature. The first week of
October there was a killing frost and
thousands of Iowa farmers We're caught
without having picked their seed corn.
The result is that much of the corn
will not terminate. Now Iowa needs
over a million bushels of seed corn to
plant the million acres annually de-
voted to the crop. 1t is going to be
necessary to test three or four times
the amount needed in order to find ears
that have the desired termination abil-
ity If we do not raise as much corn
as usual hogs will so still higher and
the price of. living will mount with
leaps and bounds over what it has at
tanned already"
Tests made along the line of the
Rock Island showed the situation to be
much more hopeful than in the south
ern part of the state where a similar
seed corn train operating last week.
found only one fourth to one-third of
the seed corn to be fit for planting. In
all. fourteen towns will be visited by
the Rock Island special this week. and
about 5000 ears of corn will be tested.
The tests already made show that the
percentage of one good ear to every
bad ear will probably be maintained
turnout the entire trip.
Crop Failure lmpends.
Just what this portends is easier un-
derstood when it is realized that twelve
ears of corn will plant an acre of land
and that one bushel will plant seven
acres. Unless Iowa farmers test their
corn and see that only the proper
terminating ears are used the crop will
| be such a miserable failure as the state
| has not experienced in years.
"We have Ilot realized sufficiently
| Just how little corn we are raising in

Iowa, Illinois and Missouri" declares
Professor Bowman. For example. the
state average In Iowa is about thirty
three bushels to the acre. Yet forty
bushels to the acre is just one nubbin
to the hill, weighing twelve and one
half ounces, that is one ear of corn
every three and one-half feet. Now
how corn do we plant 10 the hill"
Three kernels. If. then. we are drop
ping three kernels to the hill and re-
ceiving in return but one small ear
of twelve and, onehalf ounces, what
becomes of the other two kernels? In
poor seed corn lies the solution to the
puzzle. There Is not an acre of land
along the line OF the Rock Island rail-
road which is not capable of produc-
ing al least one-half ear 10 the. Hill
more than this twelve and one-haif
nubbin. which means a yield Of forty
bushels to the acre. Every poor ear
of seed corn the farmer uses costs him
four or five bushels of corn
Seed for the Future.
While urging farmers TO test all seed
corn before planting this year. Profess
sors Holden and Bowman launched a
campaign to solve the seed corn prob
lem in future years. They urged each
patch in which TO plant his best test
ed seed corn this year in order To have
sure supply OF seed corn for next
year and the future. They argued that
if the farmer will test his seed corn
this spring and pick out the ears
which show by their sample kernels
that they terminate perfectly and Will
plant these best ears in separate
part of the field. where the silks will
be pollenated only by pollen grains
from tassels on stalks strong and Wig
orous, that the yield of that five acres
will be ten, twenty or even thirty bush
.els to the acre better than the aver
age, and the work of getting next
years seed corn will be simplfied. All
that will be necessary will be for the
farmer to walk thru that five acre
patch and in a short time he Will have
his seed supply; whereas. at present he
rambles over the entire corn field of
eighty to one hundred or two hundred
acres, picking out the best ears at
random.
IF the farmers of the corn belt will
follow this advice the situation can
be saved" says Professor Holden. the
father of the special seed corn train
idea "The necessity of doing this can
not be emphasized too much. Corn is
Americas greatest crop, but it will fall
below cotton and wheat this year I'M
less the farmers test their seed corn.
