The harvester trust has just hauled
off and handed Prof. Perry Greedy
Holden one cool million dollars which
the trust has separated the farmers
from, and with a great show of
public spiritedness is telling the far
mers that the million is FIR their
benefit.
The fact is, of course, that the
harvester trust is spending that
million in order that it may get back
more millions from the farmers. The
idea is for Prof. Holden to educate
the farmer into growing bigger crops
Of corn. That will result in more
acres planted and therefore the sale
of more plows and harrows and Gull
ivators, and corn cutters and shredders
and shelters.
But Prof. Holden has the million
to spend and he is one of the most
remarkable men in the west. Eight
years ago Prof. Perry Greedy Holden
attached himself to the Iowa agri-
cultural school at Ames, as professor
or agronomy, which has to do with
tilling the soil, Webster explains.
"You are not huskng enough
corn" said the agronomist to the
| wa corn raisers who had been pat
ting themselves on the back for being
such big corn growers.
"a great. statewide shout

through several million acres of corn
stalks.

SENATOR BURTON 70
ASK SHIP BUILDERS
FIFTEEN QUESTIONS
Ohioan to Seek Way to Make
Ocean Steamers
Safer.

Senator Burton of Ohio, one of the
leading members of the Senate subcom-
rnittee to investigate the Titanic disas-
ter, has sent out q list of fifteen ques-
tions TO the foremost shipbuIlders in this
country asking them what improve
ments can be made in ship construction
70 prevent such calamities as the loss
OF the Titanic.
In submitting these questions, Senator
Burton has aimed to cover the field
fully. He has asked questions relative
to water tight compartments, bulkheads,
equipment with lifcboats, and a number
OF other pertinent matters. AS soon as
these replies are received they will be
Incorporated 'in the record.
While little, more testimony remains
to be taken, the subcommittee will get
the opinions of experts of the navy, OF
the steamboat inspection service. and
| others regarding improvements to be
| made In ship construction and equip,

the Navy Department Is one of the Off
GERS whose opinions will be obtained.
He has attended all the hearings and
is now giving the subject attention.

General Uhler of the steamboat IN

SEAMEN'S UNION TO
+. Be EREPRESENTEDAT
INQUIRY IN LONDON
Lord Mersey Asks About Ice
Warnings Given the
Titanic.

LONDON. May 3.-The international
Seamen's Union today demanded repre-
sentation at the governments inquiry
Into the Titanic disaster, which Is being
conducted by Lord Mersey and five
wreck commissioners at the London
Scottish drill hall.
Upon making inquiries Lord Mersey
ascertained that 23S members of the ILL
fated White Star liners crew were
union men, and that seventy-seven OF
these were saved. He therefore granted
the unions request.
AS result OF the success Of the sea-
men in gaining recognition, the Imperial
fcers, renewed It's application to have
representation. Lord Mersey gave no
immediate answer, but indicated that he
would allow that body to appear.
Attorney General Sir Rufus Isaacs
outlined the governments case by say.
ing that he would introduce evidence T.
show that there was dangerous ice In
the lane which the Titanic was travers
ing, and that he will bring before the
court evidence to show that warnings
of icebergs and ice "growlers' were
given to the Titanic by the Baltic AMI
Caronia on the day of the disaster. He
would also show. he said. that the
southerly marine route was available
for vessels at this time of the year
when ice foes and bergs made the
northern channel dangerous
Many Of the spectators seats were
vacant when today's proceedings began
indicating that the public Is not keenIy
interested for tie time being.
AS to ice warnings, Sir Rufus wen;
on as follows:
The Caronia notified the Titanic OF
ice at o'clock in the morning OF
April H. and the Titanic acknowledged
the warning. Later a second warnfng
came from the Baltic. This vessel sig.
nailed that ice foes were menacing thl
southern route"
Lord Mersey here interrupted to ask
Am I right in supposing that the tt.
tanic ran into a locality where ice was
after being warned that the Ice wa.
there?'
Yes" responded the attorney gen
eral.
1T seems to me-" said Lord Mersey
that the spot indicated as the scene
OF the collision is very close to the poin,
where ice was indicated by the Baltic
Turning to a representative of tn,
White Star line Lord Mersey asked 81
that was right but the steamship com,
pany's representative could not say.
