STUDY OF RED CLOVER
Why Is 1t Not Producing Seed
Satisfactorily?

Red clover is under investigation
at the agricultural experiment station
of Iowa State college. 1t is not pro-
ducing seed satisfactorily and the
agronomy section of the college in CO..
operation with the United States bu-
reau of plant industry is trying to
find out why. When it is all over, the
humble bee may find himself ousted
from his time-honored job of pollen
isor.in- chief to the red clover and the
desirability of artificial methods of
pollination established.
The United States department of
agriculture says that the inyestiga-
ton of clover pollinations is the larg-
est ever undertaken, but it is OF note
for large reason. 1t vitality con-
Germs the soil conservation problem
in Iowa and elsewhere.
Red clover is the cornerstone of ag-
riculture in this region, but the red
clover acreage is not increasing very
much and that is dangerous situa-
ton. Farmers are not adding to the
clover acreage because the price of
seed is so high. The regular annual
shortage of seed has forced it up as
high as SIS bushel and it has been
in excess of $40 for two or three
years. There is an annual shortage
because clover growers do not under
stand the pOllination problems and it
is to these that the experiment at the
state college is devoted. More seed
will mean cheaper seed, and cheaper
seed will mean more clover acreage
and that is what the college is after.
THE soils of Iowa cannot be kept
fertile economically unless the pres
ent acreage of clover is increased ten,
yes, twenty times" is the way Prof.
w. H. Stevenson puts the need.
Moreover, if seed can be produced
successfully practically every year, it
will make the farmer some money
and make the growing of crops in ro-
tation more profitable than now.
Crop rotation is the most important
factor now in Iowa's soil fertility
problem"
Red clover seed production is ham
pered by the unsolved pollination
problems. There have been many
conjectures as to the dependency of
clover on outside pollinating agencies
like the humble bee and other insects,
and the possibility of artificial or me-
chanical pollination. The true rela-
tons of these factors, however, has
never been determined and that is
| what tho Iowa State COLLAGE invecti.
gators hope to do.

$4,000 LARCENY CHARGED
FRANK J. EVANS LOCATED AND
ARRESTED IN OSKALOoSA.
Alleged He Sold Farm in Missouri
to Illinois Man and Misrep-
resented Value.

Davenport, Oct. Special: Frank
J. Evans, at one time connected with
the International Land company, of
which Mary Harrh was a prominent
court figure, has been arrested in Os-
kalOosa and will be brought back to
Christian county, ILL.,, to answer to a.
charge OF cheating a resident of that
county out of $4,000.
The warrant charges Evans with
larceny by false pretenses. 1t Is al
legged that he sold Christian county
man a farm in Missouri and misrepre-
scented the value of it.
Evans was located in Oskaloosa
and held there pending action by the
governor of Iowa. Sheriff Brints, OF
Taylorville, ILL.,, county seat of Chris
tian county, was in the city with pa
pers from the governor of Illinois,
looking for Evans. He proceeded to
Des Moines to request the governor
of Iowa to sign reQuisition papers for
his removal to Illinois.
Evans at one time instituted pro-
ceedings against two Davenport men,
charging that he had lost $500 in
their places by gambling. Both had
refused to settle with Evans, declar-
ing that the amount named by him
was greatly in excess of the actual
money lost and each was fined. Later
it was said that the money lost by
Evans was not his own, but belong
ed to a co-partnership.

DEATH DUE TO BLOOD CLoT.
Post Mortem Examination of Body of
Trainmaster lakka.

A pOSt-mOrtem examination of the
body of o. c. Lakka, who died sud
denly Sunday evening, developed
that death was due to great blood
clot in the left ventricle of the heart
That the clot mad been gathering
through an extended period was
clearly in evidence and the trouble
may have had origin several years
ago. The Clot, or formation was
hard and compressed and under the
knife showed innumerable rings of
growth or formation, where from
time to time it had taken upon it.
self new material and had increased
in size. This growth had formed an
obstruction to the working of the
heart. 1t would press against the
valves and stagnate the flow of
blood and thus interfere with the
ncart action. The cessation in the
flow of blood or the retarding of cir.
culation would have caused the un.
usual symptoms that developed in
the case of Mr.. Lakka.
Another condition developed in the
autopsy was an unusual lung trou.
BILE. One of the lungs was attacked
to the walls of the cavity and did
not extend below the fourth rib. Tho
lobes of the lung were also gathered
and were as one. This condition,
however, would not have been at
tended by any such results as those
which entered into the cause OF
death. f-..

the railroad company offered Kelle-
