CORN EXPERIMENTS
IN LEE COUNTY
Ames Experts Have Issued Pamphlet
Showing Report of Recent
Test.

Corn experts from the college OF
agriculture at Ames, recently made u
test of Lee county seed corn, planted
in 1911, gathering 81 samples from as
many farmers in the county and plant
ing the same at the county farm. The
in the form of 16 page pamphlet
which gives various tables showing
termination percents, bushels per
acre, etc. The summary says:
Samples Of the seed corn being
used by 81 Lee county farmers were
planted side by side on the experiment
tai plots at the county farm and test
ed for yield and quality. If every
farmer in Lee county had planted corn
as good as that used by the best five
of these Sd farmers, approximately
$4,000 would have been added to the
value OF the county's corn crop for
1911.
The great cause for low yields was
traced directly to few bad ears of
seed corn. These bad ears might
have been detected by means of a
careful termination test of each ear.
Every time a bad ear is thrown out
and a good ear put in it's place the
value of the corn crop is increased
about S1.50.
Three and one-half and four kerr

vately admitting that conviction is
unlikely, the state opened its case to-
day in the trial,of Mrs. Rene B. Nor
row for the murder of her husband,

tor. The courtroom was damned
when Judge Kersten took his seat.

announced that the first witnesses for
the prosecution would show that Nor
row frequently was barred from emit
ering his own home and would show
Mrs. Morrow's alleged relations with
one of the boarders in her house.
The state sprung a surprise when
it announced that Mrs. F. H. Woocs, a
boarder in the Morrow home, would
be called to prove that Mrs. Morrow
came to her room after the shooting
and asked Mrs. Wooss TO inform the
police when they arrived that Mrs.
Morrow had spent some time there
the night before. Mrs. Morrow seem
ed considerably Disconnected by
Northup's statement.
/! Before going to the courtroom to-
day Mrs. Morrow seemed confident OF
acquittal.

One inch deep gave better results
than more than one inch deep.
The experiments showed that it did
not pay to import seed corn. The
average yield from samples shipped
in from State Corn Show winners IN
different parts of the state was .57
bushels to the acre less than the av-
erage of the best samples of home
grown seed The average yield from
eight samples from seed companies
was IT'S bushels less than the aver.

homegrown seed.
The fact that these experiments
were conducted on their own farm,
with their own seed, and under their
own climatic conditions, makes the
result of especial value to the people
of Lee county.

vIGO. Spain, July 12.-Captaia
Couceiro, commanding the Portuguese
royalist forces is being reinforced al
most hourly, not counting the scatter
ed bands of irregulars who swarm all

There is no longer any question that
the republicans have a full Pledged
civil war on their hands. They retain
control of the south but the north Is
nine-tenths royalist- In actual battle
the republicans are the stronger, but
the royalists probably can continue a
guerilla struggle indefinitely.
The gravest danger is that Portu.
gal will split into two countries,
which must ultimately result In its ma

NEW YORK, July 12-Aside from
the sharp break in ST. Paul stock and
the late heaviness of the whole mar
ket, interest converged today upon
the preliminary showing of the banks
and the probability of restoring the
surplus tomorrow The question was
one OF almost international concern,
for ever since the poor showing made
by New York banks last Saturday the
foreign markets have been considerab-
ly exercised over the possibility OF
having to send us gold. There was no
indication that such assistance would
be required, although the further
hardening of time money rates today
the third advance this week-show-
ed that the demand was broadening.
while the supply was decreasing,
Some of the leading clearing house
banks reported a total cash gam OF
$1l ,000,0 900 for the week which means
that actual loans of the banks will
have to be cut nearly s2,000.000 to-
morrow if the $2.750,ooo deficit Of
tlast Saturday is to be made up. There
is fair chance that this will be done,
since the only two banks which report
ed the heaviest shortages last week
have called loans heavily every day
i since then, with the result that their
reserve position has been immensely
strengthened.

When the nominations for the resolu-

this same sentiment more than once
showed its teeth. 1t was famed into
a flame that for time came near dis
rupting the meeting when the name of
Charles Grail OF Fairfield was placed
in nomination for the central commit
tee.
Hardly was his name mentioned
than La Monte Cowles of Burlington,
and H. /. Sawyer of Keokuk, leaped to
their feet and demanded that Grail
say whether he will support the en-
tire republican ticket. Sawyer, who
was beaten in the vote OF the resolu-
tons committee by G. A. Carpenter,
of Louisa, pressed the caucus hard to
have Grail give out his stand.
At the close of the dissenting talks
a dozen of Gratis friends were on the
floor with vehement speeches in his
| favor stated that he is full-fledged
republican. Grail did not announce
his stand, nor was he asked to by the
lprogressives, who were in the over.
whelming majority 1t was stated by
the delegates that the First district
will support practically all of the re.
publican ticket except Taft for presi
dent. AS to what they will do in this
matter did not come out during the
caucus. M
The question over Grail was finally
settled when Cowles and Sawyer with
drew their demands and unanimous
vote was cast for him.

Roosevelt asked:

laughed heartily Then he said:
