DECLARES IT WILL
DRIVE IoWANs AND IOWA
MONEY TO THAT COUNTRY;
FARMERS TO DEFEND SELVES.

Des Moines, Jan. 27-(Special.) y
Declaring the new treaty with Canada
concluded by the Taft administration
is blow at the Iowa farmers and rob-
berry on the part Of the American
harvester trust, Senator Lafe Young,
standpat candidate before the legis-
lature for the Dolliver seat in double
loaded editorial in his paper, the
Capital, says today:
IF it is going to pass there will be
tremendenous rush for Canada on
the part of farmers. If 1t shall pass
$1O0,OO0,0OO of Iowa money will be in
vested in Canada land this year, 1911.
The only question before the Ameri-
can people today is whether or not the
farmers of the United States shall be
made to compete with the pauper labor
and the cheap land of the world.
"If the editor Of the Capital is re-
turned to the United States senate he
will oppose such treaty or any other
treaties proposed to trade off the in
terests of Iowa farmers for the in
terests Of manufacturers of farm ma
chinery. The danger in these adirec-s
tions has arrived sooner than we had
anticipated, but the danger is at hand.
again, we say, that the farm
ganizations of the state of Iowa had
better forget individuals for fine
and give attention to their own Inter
est as represented by these public
questions"

DUCTS OF FARM.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 27.-The
terms of the new tariff reciprocity be-
tween the United States and the do
minion of Canada were made public
simultaneously at Washington and at
Ottawa President Taft sent it to

CUMM|NS IN
SENATE SPEECH
HITS L0RIMfR
IoWAN DECLARES WHITES EVIL
DENcE OF BRIBERY COULD NOT
BE FABRICATED AND HAS NOT
BEEN REFUTED.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 27.-Sena-
tor Cummins Of Iowa resumed his
argument against the adoption of the
committee resolution generating Lori
mer from bribery charges The Iowan
declared it would have been 1mpos-
sible for human mind to have fabri-
Gated such story as that supplied
the Chicago Tribune by State Repre-
sentative White without having 1t re-
futed by the facts. This refutation, he
said, had not resulted. On the contrary
many circumstances corroborative OF
the relation have been collected by
the committee, and these were out
lined at length. Cummins declared
there was not one single undisputed
item Of testimony that was not in
harmony with the original White
story.
The committee on privileges and
elections was criticised in the senate
by Senator Cummins, of Iowa for
failure to pursue further the inquiry
as to whether Senator William Lori
mer was coguizant Of the corrupt
methods, which the Iowa senator al
legged had been employed In advancing
the election of Mr.. Lorimer to the
senate.
Mr.. Cummins took the position that
the Investigators had not been justi-
fed III suspending their inquiry in this
direction simply because the attorney
for the Chicago Tribune had said that
he would not make any effort to con-
meet Mr.. Lorimer with the bribery in
ais behalf, which the attorney was
charging Mr.. Cummins' contention
was that as the Tribune was not
plaintiff in the case, the committee
should have proceeded independently
81 the concessions Of counsel.
Z. Tlle committee also was censnred by.
ISrats asnatUf because. as he as
serted 1t had failed to supply the in
formation as to whether corrupt In
fuences had been used in promoting
the selection Of the Illinois senator.
There had been bribery or there had
hot been, and Mr.. Cummins contended
shat the committee had failed to re-
spond to the senate resolution in not
covering the point.
Analysing the testimony, Mr.. Cum
minis reached the conclusion that Mr..
Lorimer owed his seat to the corrupt
use of money. He therefore opposed
the adoption Of the committees ex-
onerating report.

but only by increasing the quantity OF
developed kernels. an increase Of six
bushels per acre may be realized. This
is chiefly the result of thorough and
careful cultivation. which induces Wig
orous. thrifty plants that develop per-
feet flowers and secure perfect fertili-
cation
It is clear that by using proper seed
and giving thorough cultivation. the
yield OF corn may be increased mate
rally at very little expense.
improved seed may be obtained by
buying from the growers. and this is.
probably the most satisfactory way to
begin II the corn on the farm is Just
ordiwry.
However. after the first year. the
farmer should select the seed from his
own crop. hnless some special calam-
ity has happened to his crop which
would make the seed entirely undeslr.
able.
Seed well selected from a crop on
the farm mas the advantage OF similar
environment year after year: The soil,
climate and method OF treatment will
be about the same. and then the
farmer has the opportunity to select
the type to at his special needs and
uses. And the educational value Of
carefully watching his corn, and the
pleasure Of seeing his improvement
from year to year cannot be estimated
Each farmer will thus become his own
seed grower. And to be successful in
this he must have a standard Of good
corn in his mind.
There are certain characteristics
which are found in all good corn. and
which seem to be essential In order to
get a large yield and good quality.
These characteristics are in the ap-
