ing another twelve miles ira
ve', or another six miles round
trip, or a total travel of TWEEN
ty-four miles for the day,
which would be twelve miles
round trip. According to your
Interpretation this would bring
him twelve dollars, which
would be extremely extyava-
gent. He tells me that a team
on ordinary roads would travel
twenty miles with a drag and
on your Interpretation even
this would give him ten dollars.
A.-You cite various illustra-
lions to demonstrate that to be
paid for dragging under the in
terpretation of the law as you
conceive / made it exorbitant.
For instance, you say that un !.
der my Interpretation of the
law a person in making a round
trip with the drag on a six
mile stretch of road would be
entitled to S. 90 and that under
average conditions man with
a team of two or three horses
could accomplish this in half a
day and could drag another
stretch of road equally long in
the afternoon and thus earn
another $500 making $1,000 in
all. / might agree with you
that this much compensation
for this much work is too high
but under the law | have inter-
preted it is absolutely unneces-
sary to pay the amount men
toned for that amount Of
work. As | said at the outset,
you have mis-read what / said
on the subject. / think you
have assumed that l held that
the trustees were compelled to
pay so cents for every mile
travelled with a drag in the act
Of dragging the road. I quote
this much from the first para
graph of my letter relating to
this subject which l think suf-
ticiently states the rule correct
~:
"The amount that can be
paid for dragging the road is
not to exceed fifty cents per
mile for every mile necessarily
and actually travelled upon the
highway while in the act of
dragging the same in accord
ance with the contract there
for"
"And there is nothing to pre-
vent the trustees from fixing
different rates of compensation
for dragging the roads in the
same township. Under certain
conditions twenty-five cents
Iper mile of travel might be
very liberal compensation.
Under other conditions in the
same township forty cents per
mile of travel would not be too
much"
Amy violation of any of
the provisions of this act, by
THE superintendent of dragging
or any person or persons, who
may be required under contract
to drag district roads, or neg
lect on the part of any thereof,
be fined not less than ten dol
lars ($lW or more than twenty
five (25) for the offense, and
for each subsequent offense
shall be fined not less than
twenty-five dollars (s25) nor
more than fifty dollars (5O)

ABOUT THE NEW
ROAD DRAGLAW
Questions and Answers
Help Farmers and Road
Supervisors in Road
Work

Frank Nimocks, Of Ottumwa,
secretary of the Blue Grass
Road, has compiled a list of
questions and answers, after
studying the new road drag
law and getting rulings on it
from the attorney generals
office that are not very inter-
esting, but are very instructive
to all who will have anything
to do with improving the public
highways in Iowa, particularly
road supervisors, county super
visors, farmers and road boost
ers in general. The list is az
follows:
Q Are road drags furnish
ed by the townships?
Ayes.
@ What fund must be used
in paying for these drags?
A.-These drags are to he
paid for out of the township
road fund and no part of the
dragging fund created by the
une mill levy may be used fol
this or any other purpose, ex.
cept dragging.
Q.-1n event the one mil
levy is not sufficient to keep
the road dragged as contracted
for, can other township funds
be used?
A.-Yes. When the drag.
ging fund is exhausted, the
trustees may use other town.
ship funds for this purpose.
May the salary and ex-
penses of the superintendent of
dragging he paid out of the
township road fund?
A.-Yes. There is no objec.
ton to the trustees paying the
superintendent salary out OF
the regular township road
fund.
Q.-April II being often too
late to start dragging the road
| would ask if the trustees
could not make their contracts
with the superintendent ear.

A.-The thirty-four gener.
al assembly in an act passed
three days after the enactment
Of the new road drag law, pro.
vided that the township trust
ees shall meet on the first Mon.
day in February and at that
meeting shall elect a superin.
tendent of dragging.

Test Your Seed Corn Now

lest Your seed Corn Now
Don't plant seed corn that will
not grow. Seed corn is in the
worst condition known in 20
years. Not over half the seed
that has been tested SO far will
go at all. You are sure to lose
money if you find ten day after
planting that your seed corn
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 a loss of $40,
100000 in the 1912 corn crop
unless the farmers test their
seed before planting. 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 a
termination TEST OF EVERY
EAR.
An ear has from 800 to 1000
kernels, One dead or weak ear
may cause a loss of 8OOto 1000
stalks, a loss of from 8 to IL
bushels in a,crop.
The greatest danger is that
thousands of men will not test
their seed corn because it looks
alright, although actually it ia
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 a serious shortage in Illinois;
Minnesota and Dakota will
have hard work to get enough
for their own planting. Neb.
raska's seed corn is the poor
est for years. Kansas has a
shortage and there is practically
none in Oklahoma. The bust
ness men of Des Moines realize
that the prosperity of Iowa in
1912 depends larlely upon a
good corn crop and that a good
yield cannot be secured unless.
vigorous seed is planted tfat
will give q good stand. For this
reason every effort is being
made to arouse the farmers and
business men to the necessity Of
testing every seed ear on every
farm.
Miss Florence E Ward, who
is director of the kindergarten
department of the Iowa Teach

tracts with individuals for the
various parts of roads, be
made?
A.-The contracts with in.
dividuals for r.rts If the roads
to be dragged :,non' be made by
the superintendent of dragging
during the winter before the
roads are ready to be dragged
and have all arrangements
completed early.
Q Does this act apply to
cities and towns?
A.-Yes. Section 4 of the
act makes it the duty Of the
city or town council to cause
the main travelled road within
the corporate limits leading in
to the city, to be dragged and
that so far as possible, the pro-
visions of this act shall apply.
Q-1n event the superintend-
lent of the contracts makes cor
tracts with great many per-
sons for short stretches of road,
would the township be under
obligations to furnish all drags?
A-The law makes it manda-
tory that trustees should fur
nish drag, simply so there
might be no excuse for the
road not being dragged. Many
people have drags and it is the
intention only, that the trust
ees furnish drags where neces-
sary. A great deal in this mat
ter must be left to the discre-
ton of the trustees.
Q.-The law states that the
compensation of the superin-
tendent shall not exceed $3.50
per day and actual expenses
and for giving notices to con.
tractors, he shall receive such
additional compensation as the
board may direct. Do / under
stand from this statement that
the superintendent might have
his ordinary expenses raid
when away from home, etc?
A.-The superintendent is
entitled to not to exceed $3.50
per day, but should be reim-
bursed for his actual expenses
while engaged in the discharge
of his duties and such expenses
would seem to include meals
and lodging when away from
home, postage and conveyance
in attending to his duties.
The superintendent should not
be allowed for such expenses
unless they are necessary,
and as to whether they are
necessary and proper in agiven
case, is largely within the dis.
erection of the township trust.
ees.
What roads should be
dragged under the provision Of
this law?
A.-The township trustees
|shall from time to time desig.
nate what districts must lie
dragged, which must include
all mail routes and all main
j travelled routes within the
township. The trustees would
probably be the best judges of
what roads are the main travel.
ed roads.
j @ -According to your inter-
probation of what a man would
have to do with say three hors
es to earn $500 a day, would
be to travel four miles and

eight miles. In other words, if

ATLANTA WINS IN
VERY PRETTY GAME
oNE-TO-NOTHING BATTLE WAS
FOUGHT OUT YESTERDAY.
LOCALS MAKE TRIPLE PLAY.

In decidedly the fastest and most
interesting ball game OF the season,
the Atlanta Athletics yesterday al,er-
noon, before holiday crowd, defeated
the Pilots by score of l to ..
1t was one of those sensational
games, in which there was something
always doing. The only run of the
game came in the very first inning
caused by b~se on ball, a steal and
an error.
The entire contest was a pitchers

him., and he got credit for losing a

more than one occasion the locals had
