EXPERIMENT AT COUNTY HOME
Chicago Man Offers $1,000 If County
Will Raise Another $1,000 and
Employ Proper Person.

An active interest is being taken
over the state in the project of en-
ploying a regular superintendent of ag-
riculture for the different counties. A
Mr.. Rosenwald, of Chicago, has made
available $1,000 for each county in
Iowa which will raise like amount
for the purpose. The plan will prob
ably include making the county home
an experiment farm for the county.
Some of the counties in the state
and twenty-five counties in North Da-
kota have already had meetings and
the Superintendent held short courses
and gave demonstrations in the schools
and was available for consultation and
advice on agricultural questions to
any farmer in the county.
Up in Palo Alto county they have
taken the matter up. They claim to
have 10000 acres in corn alone. An
average increase of six bushels to the
acre would mean $25O,OOO added wealth
to the county. Besides this attain
able end the incentive to proper ro-
ltation and Investigation of farm
crops would undoubtedly add other
hundreds of thousands not only to the
annual crops, but to permanent farm
values.
A meeting was held in the court
house at Emmetsburg Thursday even
ing and definite action in the matter
will undoubtedly be taken soon. r.
G. Holden was present at this meeting
and told OF the experience in Clinton
county and North Dakota.
County Superintendent Olry believes
the project could be carried to a sue
,cessful termination in Crawford coun'
ty if it were properly handled. DO
nations of $1O0 each from thousand
citizens of the county would place the
matter on a sound financial basis. One
or two good men in each township
could be appointed who could raise
their proportion and a superintendent
secured and a successful course held

as to the origin of the name is to the
effect that the law knew but 1865 days
to the year and that when every four
years the goth of February appeared
al the calendar it was not counted as
day in the eyes of the law, but was
"leapt" over.
The year is now just exactly as it
was after Gregory had corrected it.
Even after this correction, however.
there remains slight mistake, but it
is so very@mall that it will amount to
only day in 5000 years. The error
is one of excess, so it is proposed to
make the year 1000, otherwise leap
year, common year. >After that the
calculations are so minute that the
length of the year will so exactly cor
respond with the earths revolution
around the sun that it will not differ
more than a day in thousand CEN
