BETTER BUY SEED
OATS AT HON {
STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
ADVISES IOWA FARMERS TO
DO THIS FOR RESULTS.

Ames, March 2O.-Iowa farmers
ought to buy their seed oats at home.
According to a bulletin just put out
by the Iowa agricultural experiment
station, the practice Of using imported
oats seed, even though it is expensive,
and has large yielding records else.
where, ''is questionable l.. c. Ben.
EFT, author of the bulletin, bases MS
statement upon experiments with I'M
ported oats seed covering from three
to five years and including seventy
seven different samples.
One Of the best samples OF oats ever
seen at the Iowa station and from the
sack of oats that won the champion.
ship at the Portland exposition, yielded
only 1877 bushels per acre, weighing
liz pounds per bushel, as against q
yield of % bushels per acre weighing
10 pounds, for similar stock that had
been grown at the station farm for
some years. In subsequent years this
championship oats did better, All I'm.
ported oats in the test improved in
yield after acclimation.
Mr.. Burnett, the experimentalist,
also found that the tanning of oats seed
may be overdone. He tested tanning
methods for long succession OF years
and planted the seed and watched the
Yields and other conditions, with the
result that oats famed two times does
better than oats famed either one
time or three times.
The seven years experimentation
showed that as a rule Iowa farmers
do not sow enough oats per acre. The
station has secured better results with
a rate Of from three to four and one.
half bushels per acre than with only
two to two and one-half bushels per
acre. which is about the average rate
for Iowa farmers. The average yield
for four years from a two-bushel rate
for Kherson oats was 49.4 bushels per
acre; the average yield for the same
time for a three-bushel rate was 53.7
bushels. In all the tests at the station
farm the Kherson and Silver Mine
varieties of oats gave the best yield
covering period OF seven years.
The bulletin is the most valuable
publication on oats growing ever put
out by the Iowa station, both from
the standpoint Of the information 1t
contains and the extensive work on
which it's formation is based. 1t is
timely, because there is no crop in
Iowa that is generally more unsatis.
factory than the oats crop. At the
recent short course at the college it
was the unanimous testimony of the
hundreds of farmers in the agronomy
classes that oats do not pay well, yet
every farmer grows them because they
fit into rotation. and they are valu-

was this? The Savior's explanation
was that while he was with them 1t
should properly be considered a time
of rejoicing and feasting rather than
a time of fasting and sorrow. Ihey
would have plenty iof opportunity to
weep and fast after he would be
gone and while waiting for his return.
Fasting should not be considered a
matter of obligation or command. but
rather voluntary sacrifice OF present
and temporal good things that the
mind and heart might go out the
more earnestly after the Things not
seen as yet, but hoped Tor. mus lot
eighteen centuries Gods people nave
been fasting and praying and waiting
and longing for the bridegroom, re-
turn. But in the time of his presence,
their fellowship with him, their JOY
in the realization of the completed
promise, will wipe away their tears
and "give them beauty for ashes ana
the oil of joy for the splrlt
of heaviness." 49,. ...
The Church a New Creation.
It was difficult for the Savior's
hearers to get a proper focus upon his
teachings. They could understand
John the Baptist's preaching OF re-
pentance and reformation; but when
Jesus declared, 1.-THE Law and the
Prophets were until John, and since
then the Kingdom Of Heaven is
prea ched," this was so radical prop
osition as to be difficult for the masses
to grasp. What could be higher than
the Law and the Prophets? What door
could be opened to the followers OF
Jesus which had not been open to
their forefathers? Was not their Jew
ish nation Gods kingdom? Did not
King David sit upon the throne of
the Iord?" Was it not promised that
Messiah should sit upon David's
throne and bless all the families of
the earth?
Sympathetically we must concede
that it was difficult for the Jews to
understand that before the blessing
could come to natural Israel, another,
spiritual Israel, must be selected. BY
way of emphasizing this thought, our
Lord gave the two parabolical illus
trations, saying, No man sews a
piece of unshrunken cloth upon an old
garment, because the shrinking of the
new cloth would pull away the old
and increase the difficulty. Likewise,
no one would think of putting new
wine into old wineskins, whose elas-
ITCHY had been exhausted, for the
old wineskins would be burst by the
fermentation of the new wine.
So the gospel teaching is not a
patch upon the Jewish law, but is a
new proposition. And the new wine of
the gospel dispensation must be put
into new wineskins that will be able
to stand the stress of the fermenta-
ton sure to come. Thus our Lord did
not attempt to engraft his teachings
upon the Jews, but called out of Juda-
ism special class, which the scrip
lures denote as New Creatures in
Christ" 1t is to these that the new
wine of the gospel message is com.
mitted, and these are to experience
the fermentation incidental to the
preparation for the kingdom trials,
disciplines and testings.

feet last night, thus placing it eigh-
teen feet above the low water mark.
The low parts of Eddyville are re.
ported to be under water and the low
lands along the river are flooded. The
greatest destruction now imminent Is
the washing away of the dixie recently
built between Eddyville and Bridge
port. Besides serving as barrier
against the river, this levy formed the
road along the river between the two
places. Reports from Eddyville stated
that the ice has ground it's way
through the levy in several places and
the water is pouring through large
holes. The Eddyville bridge is also IN
grave danger. Ropes have been
stretched across it this morning. The
water is less than three feet from the
floor of the structure. A heavy flow
OF ice is passing down the river inter-
mittently. Unless another gorge forms
below Eddyville and the river is thus
sent higher, the bridge may weather
the conflict.
Local Bridges Safe.
With the moving of the ice above the
Ottumwa bridges, all danger of their
injury is thought to be passed. The ice
from the Cummings ice house half way
to the bridge moved down yesterday
afternoon and formed a gorge, extend
ing from the Market street bridge tn
Ransom street. At 6 O'Clock this mass
moved with rush striking the bridge
with such force that the large cakes Of
ice were splintered against the piers
Of the bridge second mass came at
$3.50 O'Clock when the ice from Cum
mings' ice house to the dam moved

ed easily under the bridges. This
morning the heavy cakes began to pour
over the dam. The gorge from Chilli
cothe had spread somewhat before it
reached Ottumwa and is going easily
through Ottumwa.

Great masses and cakes are pilling up

So far the damage has been con.

To ships Passing Through Panama
Canal is Possessed by Every
Nation

Washington, July Ex-senator O'Gor-
man OF New York charged in the Sem
ate yesterday that railroad influence
was behind Great Britain's protest
against the Panama canal bill and be
joined with Senator Lodge in declaring
the United States possessed all rights
under the British treaty to give free
passage to ships of American register.
Couldn't Bar Hostile Fleet
Mr.. O'Gorman, Mr.. Cummins and
others declared that If the United
States had to construe the treaty lit
orally in giving ships of all nations
equal treatment, 1t would, by other
terms OF the treaty, be prevented from
defending the canal in case of war
'If a japanese fleet appeared at the
western end of the canal" said Sena-
tor Reed of Missouri, "Dent upon pass
ing through to attack the city of New
York, the United States would have no
right, under such a construction of the
treaty, to take any steps against it,"
1.-The only government that has as
sumed any special burden under the
treaty Is the United States" said SEN
ator O'Gorman. England and other
countries have assumed no burdens be-
yond the payment of the tolls and the
agreement as to the terms of its neu-
trality. There is nothing to prevent
England from remitting to its merch-
ant ships every dollar of the tolls paid
the Panama canal. There is nothing to
prevent similar actions by other coun-
tries. The only power that is tram
meled, restricted and curtailed in the
performance of its duties to it's own
citizenship Is the one that has spent
$400,000,000 in the construction of this
great enterprise"

TONOPAH EXTENSION

According to the report of the To.
nopah Extension Mining company
for the month of July, Just made
public, the gross receipts from the
operation of the mine and mill dur
ing that month totaled $62,655.4S.
The expense of operation amounted
to s39,954.O3, which left net profits
amounting to $22,7O1.45, $3,647.0S
more than the net profits for June.
1t is estimated that the net profits
of the company this month will be
more than $4,000
During the last week. the mill
treated 1O71 tons of ore from which
an excellent recovery was made.
The semi-monthly cleanup at the
mill, made several days ago, yielded
25 bars of bullion, S6,524 ounces of
value of about $2s.2O0.
There was a noticeable improve
ment in various sections of the mine.
Two new raises we're started north
and west of stope No. 504 on the
south vein on the 500-foot level to
encounter the ore shoot both north
and west of a fault. Both raises,
which are about 40 feet apart, show
good grade of mill rock and when
connected will have exposed an ad-
ditional large tonnage of good ore.
From the top of raise No. on
