CORN FIELDS TO
Be L.0PSIDEO.
SEED CORN SPECIAL
TAKERS TELL FARMERS
How TO PROVE TESTS

Washington, a., April 5.-Corn-
fields in Southern Iowa will be lop-
sided this year if the farmers take the
wholesome advice being given by the
the Burlington seed corn special, now
making a two weeks educational prep
uganda through this part Of the state.
The professors are urging the farmers
to plant four or five acres on the
southwest corner of their corn field
with the very best tested corn they
can select. There is a reason. The
summer winds come from the south
west and when pollinating time comes
these winds will sweep the pollen
from this fine corn over the field and
impregnate the silks of the weaker
corn with strength and quality.
That farmers are keen to do every
thing that will tend to greater yields
was forcefully demonstrated at the
first Thursday stop, at the little town
Of New London. Here were two car
loads of people, despite the early
morning hour. Business places closed,
school adjourned, and the Weekly
Times, published the day before, is
sued a special seed corn edition of
four pages to distribute among the
farmers in town to- hear the heart to
heart talk made by the college profess
sors on the Importance of seed test.
ing. Here, too, had been prepared
rag doll' seed tests of 1880 ears of
corn and they were scored by the eX-

perts showing their condition to ba
sixty-two per cent strong, twelve pei
cent weak and twenty-six per cent
weak. At all the other stops today
there were large crowds aIdmsen
thusiastic listeners.
All of the state officers have beer
invited to accompany the Burlington
seed corn special Saturday out of Des
Moines, the last day of the two weeks
itinerary. This includes Governor B. r
Carroll, Lieutenant Governor George
W. Clark, State Auditor Bleakley, Sec
Rotary of State Hayward, State Treas
urer Morrow, and Chairman Ketchum
of the state board of railroad commits
sioners.
Today the seed corn special visits
Burlington, Packwood, Fremont, Knox
vile and Pleasantville. Saturday it
COTS to Norwalk, st Charles, New Vir-
ginia, Osceola, Charlton, Russell and
Abba, returning that evening to Des5
Moines, concluding an itinerary OIL
1,401 miles.
In a corn husk, the message that
will have been delivered to 10000
farmers is:
Save seed before October 1. 3-
Test each ear intended for seed.
Grade the seed and test the planter
Improve seed by planting best ears
on southwest corner Of field.
Do not import seed corn.
Do not follow oats with corn.
Rotate the crops.
