Party.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-Coloncl
Theodore Roosevelt. George w. Per
kins and Miss Jane Adams headed a
list of speakers at the national con-
ference Of the progressive party here
today. Colonel Roosevelt, digressins
from a prepared speech, attacked the
Idaho state supreme court for its de
cision during the recent campaign re-
earding presidential electors. Mr.. Per
kns was the center of attraction when
il became known that certain of his
fellow progrcssivcs had started a
movement to GUST him from the party
Miss Adams presented q most compre-
hensiye educational campaign plan
and at the afternoon meeting, when
leaders from various parts of tho
afternoon meeting, when progressive
leaders from various parts Of the
country, told of their experiences in
the recent campaign, the conference
developed into a lovefeast
Col. Rosevelts attack on the ldaho
court decision came in way Of com
mont on the action of that court In
citing the editor Of the Capital News
Of Boise for contempt, because tho
paper criticized the courts decision
The strongest thing the paper printed
was Col. Roosevelt's own telegram
denouncing the decision, declared the
colonel, who advocated that the pro-
gressive party fight the case for the
defendant editor and make good any
fine that might be assessed against
him.
Although the Idaho law makes no
provision for the election of presl-
Dental electors, the colonel pointer
cut the supreme court of that state
permitted republican and democratic
electors to be put on the ticket ly
constituting a provision which provided
for the election of conStables ana
other officers to include presidential
electors but held that the progressive
ticket could not be nominated by pc
tition' because the highest number OF
votes enumerated as necessary to
nominate by petition was 800 for the
election Of state officials"
The Idaho court held electors not 20

supreme court of the United States
had held them not to be national Of
ficers. he said. He referred to the
decision as Outrageous"
Col. Roosevelt championed Mr..
Perkins heartily. The colonel declar-
ed Mr. Perkins was one of the men he
was proud to have as fellow worker.
Mr.. Perkins in an address resented
the insinuation that he was a recent
convert to the movement. He had
fought for social and industrial re-
form through his connection with
various companies for many years, he
said. THE reason why / am With

the first national party to take up the
practical questions which confront this

How Many Counties Will Drag?

How many counties in Iowa are
now completely organized for road
dragging next summer? How many?
I'VE are says Marshall county, but
1t has taken no little agitation on the
part of the county auditor and the
newspapers to bring it about. The
result will be we'll dragged roads on
every main travelled highway in
Marshall county. 1t should be so in
every county in the state as the new
law intended it to be, but will it be
so?
The new road dragging law pro-
vided in the main for 1-mill levy for
the expense of dragging. Have
the trustees of all the townships in
all the counties levied this tax?
The law provided that the trustees
Shall meet in special session on the
first Monday in February to appoint
a superintendent of dragging. How
many Of the township trustees in
Iowa did it? If any have failed, let
them get busy and do it now.
The law provided that the work
of dragging shall be let in stations
at a compensation of not to exceed
80 cents per mile travelled by the
team with drag. In fact contracts
can be let at so cents per mile, drag
ged once up and once back, for this
will give man and team wages at
30 cents per hour or IS per day Of
ten hours. But have the contracts
been let?
The law provided that the town
ships shall furnish the drags. Are
they ready for spring?
Are the county auditors, county at
torneys, enterprising farmers and
newspaper men of all the counties
agitating the strict compliance with
all the provisions of the most practi-
cal road law ever put on a statute
book or is Marshall county to be the
only county in Iowa in which every
township is to be we'll dragged next
year? Let the readers of this news

Test Your Seed Corn Now.

Don't plant sed corn that will not
grow. Seed corn is in the worst con-
dition known in 20 years. Not over
half the seed that has been tested so
far will grow at all. You are sure to
lose money if you find ten days after
Don't plant seed corn that will not
grow. That is just what tens of
thousands of Iowa corn growers are
going to do this spring if they do not
test every ear of their seed corn.
There may be loss of $70,00O,000
in the 1912 corn crop unless the
farmers test their seed before plant
ing. This calamity can be avoided
by planting seed that will grow.
The corn is so bad this year that
no man can tell whether it will grow
or not without making a termination
test of every ear.
An ear has 500 to 1000 kernels
One dead or weak ear may cause a
loss of 500 to 1000 stalks, loss of
from to ~ bushels in the crop.
The greatest danger is that thous-
ands of men will not test their seed
corn because it looks alright, al
though actually it is dead or too weak
to plant Iowa farmers will have to
get their seed corn in Iowa. Ohio is
short; Indiana has little surplus;
there is serious shortage in Illinois;
Minnesota and Dakota will have hard
work to get enough for their own
planting. Nebraska's seed corn is
the poorest for years. Kansas has q
shortage and there is practically
none in Oklahoma. The business of
Des Moines realize that the prosperity
of Iowa in 1912 depends largely upon
a good corn crop and that a good
yield cannot be secured unless vigor-
Gus seed is planted that vii! give q
good stand. For tins reason every
effort is being made to arouse the
farmers and business men to the ne
cessity of testing every seed ear on
every farm.
Some communities will find that
they have a surplus of good seed.
Please let us know of such places so
that we may notify other places
where there is poor seed.
