CHANGE TO ANOTHER CROP.

If there was trouble with the corn
root aphis in the corn field last sea-
son, put in another crop on that par
ticular piece of ground next spring
and do not plant it to corn again.
That is the most effective way of get
ting ride of this pest.
"While the corn root aphis feeds,
to some extent, on other plants than
corn" says R. L Webster of the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, "yet change to any other crop
is about the most effectual measure
for it's control. Where system of
crop rotation is carried out, involving
but two consecutive crops of corn,
little injury ever occurs. If ground
is kept in corn only one year, the in
jury is the more lessened. What

The same amount of well soured milk
was used in place of buttermilk. The
same amount of we'll soured milk was
used in place of buttermilk with
equally good results.
This ration was fed to the birds
twice daily. They were given as
much as they would clean up in twen-
ty minutes. The feeding was thus
limited because care must be taken
not to. overfeed. Birds that are over
fed go "stale" and refuse to eat we'll.
Feeding should continue about two
weeks. There will be gains in weight
after that period, but not enough to
pay for feed and labor. The gain is
largest the first week always, and
more feed is eaten the second week.
In some instances in the college ex-
leriments the gains for two weeks
exceeded twenty pounds per dozen
birds.
For every pound of this gain feed
worth cents was required. The
rattened birds sold in the local mar
get in town of about 4,500 inhahi-
.ants for Is cents per pound, 2 cents
more than the cost of the birds, be-
cause of their excellent condition.
This figured out a profit of about rs
:ents per bird for the two weeks fat

A LESSON IN COOKING CORN
MEAL.

By Neale S. Knowles, Extension De-
partment, Iowa State College.
In preparing corn meal and such
starchy foods, always remember that
they must be cooked thoroughly. Al
ways put them to cook in boiling
water or in a hot oven.
Look at kernel of popcorn fresh
from the cob, and then look at ker-
mel that is fresh from the pepper.
One is hard and unpalatable, and the
other is white and delicious. What
has caused the difference? If you
could study the crushed kernel
through the miscrope, you would
see the difference. The starch that is
found in the kernel is bound up in
little bundles and each bundle is Gov.

Iowa Democrats and 1912

The names of dozen or more Demo
Gratis will be presen ted in the national
convention of the party as candidates
for president. New York will present
the name of Gov. Dix; Conn, Gov
Baldwin; N. j., Gov. Wilson; Ohio,
Gov. Harmon; Ind, Gov. Msrshall; N.
D., Gov. Burke; Missouri, Champ
Clark; Nevada; Senator Newlands,
Ala, Representative Underwood; and
l. linois, Mayor Harrison.
The presence of so many candida ties
in the contention forecasts the GER
talnty of trading and dealing whereby
the support of the delegations will be
given in exchange for promises of pat
ronage to the politicians. In short. it
means convention dominated by poll
ticians with selfish interest rather than
party interest and national welfare the
prime consideration.
New York will go into the conven-
ton with no expectation of nominating
Gov. Dix. The same may be sad of
NEST of the other states with favorite
son candidates. These states will
leave the favorite sons when the terms
they propose to the manager of one
or another candidate campaign are
accepted.
This is an arrangement ideal for the
politicians. But it is not ideal for the
rank and file of the party with convic-
tons regarding who should and who
should not be nominated. 1t carries no
assurance that, for instance, Iowa's
finding it impossible to
nominate Clark, or Wilson, would not
support Harmon or some other cdndi-
date who would be unacceptable to the
element of the party.
On these accounts Iowa's deleg alton
in the next national convention should
be instructed for the candidate Iowa
wants, be he Clark or Wilson. The
rank and file ought to take no chance
on having the vote of Iowa cast for
any but progressive candidate.
Let Iowa have the courage to say
vho it is for president and stand or

DETRO|T'S STREETS
ARE SAFER THAN
FOR YEARS
New Motor Ordinance Is Being
Gradually Enforced and "the
Man Who Walks" Gets
Chance For His Life.
Police Patrol Main Thcroughfares,
Warning Auto Drivers That New
Law Is In Effect.

Not since the automobile became
popular have the streets OF Detroit
been as safe for pedestrians as they
are today. Police Commissioner Crouls
announcement that he would enforce
the new vehicle ordinance to the let
ter, beginning Thursday morning, has
inspired respect for the measure on
the part Of the motorists. with the re-
suit that a man or woman can now
alight from a street car and feel rea'
sonably sure OF reaching the sidewalk
with a whole skin. One can board
car with equal safety.
II was not to be expected, OF course
that the ordinance would be observed
generally the first day. Probably not
one motorist in a hundred, Thursday
morning, lived up to the strict letter
OF the law in every particular. But
one of the first results noticed was
that the drivers, almost within excep-
tion, showed q tendency to be more
careful.
In a great many instances, right on
Woodward-ave., below the park, where
the street Is unusually wide, motorists
brought their cars to a full stop at a
respectful distance from standing
street cars. without any Inconvenience
to themselves or those behind them
and with much greater safety to those
leaving the cars. Trus, there were
not a few cases where automobiles
could have continued on their way,
slowly. without danger to anyone. but
the time lost by stopping was insig-
nificant and the wear and tear on the
machine infinitesimal, as far as the
man on the walk was able To tu'"
So one of the greatest objectiC;.S
raised by the motorists. that this pro
vision Of the ordinance would prove a
hardship on them, Is not borne out by
the facts. The real test OF the ordi-
nance will not come until the busy
hours, Thursday evening, but the
motorist who finds that his trip home
Is being delayed by frequent stops need
only slip over to some parallel street
where !. there Is no car line to get
away from this annoyance. ""
While the orders from Commission

Bartlett was held for trial. The
case was set for Thursday morning in
Judge Phelan's court, but Assistant
Prosecutor Fitzpatrick moved that an
order of nolle prosequi be .entered be-
cause a material witness is out of
town, the boy would not now Swear
that Bartlett sold him liquor and Mrs.
