BURLINGTON CORN
SPECIAL SUCCESS ;
SPLENDID MEETINGS At CORNING
AND SiDNEY-sPEAkER TELLS
.j.~ OF 500 LAND.

| Corning. March ga striking ex-
ample Of the remarkable development
in values OF Iowa farm land was pre-
sented in the appearance here of the
burlington seed corn and soil special
train which has as it's mission the urg-
Ing Of farmers to waste no land on
bad seed and to exefeise modern meth.
DDS in conserving the fertility Of the
J soil. This is because land has reach!
ed the 500 per acre value and scien-
tific methods must be applied to make
| the investment profitable.
The Importance of land values was
accentuated by the presence on the
train of K. H. Hunter of Des Moines,
special agent for the Burlington rail
road, who formerly lived at this place.
Mr.. Hunter had the distinction of be-
ing receiver for the famous Icarian
community here when the court order
ed it sold out twenty-seven years ago.
The land was then sold for S14 per
acre, and but few years before that
had been bought for little over dol
lar an acre by the Frenchmen who
came here to establish an ideal COM
munity of interests. So within the
last half century the land has jumped
in value from one to one hundred
dollars per acre.
The Corning meeting was the con-
clusion of the second days itinerary
of the corn special The train, carry
ing exports from the state agricultural
college, will be out for two weeks,
practically covering the territory in
southern Iowa.
Heart to Heart Talks at Sidney. (
! Sidney, March 29.-Heart to heart
talks by agricultural experts to over
three thousand farmers of southern
Iowa were held today from the Bur-
lington seed corn and soil special
train, now on two weeks itinerary
over the Burlington system in Iowa.
Farmers from the surrounding terri
tory of seven towns turned anxious
ears to the words of advise offered
and listened to discussion of seed corn
tests that have already been made
iron corn in this territory. The tests
develop chat not over fifty-one per cent
lis fit to plant as the remainder is
either entirely dead or terminates
very poorly. Experience during the
past several years has made the farm
|ers apt students and they are taking
seriously to the problem Of increasing
the productiveness of their soil and in
maintaining it. Prof. H. A. Mauser,
che Of the principal speakers of the
State Agricultural college corps cam
not be accused Of being rhetorical
farmer. He owns and operates farm
of his own in Marshall county and is
able to answer every question concern
ing practical farming that has been
asked Of him.
Miss Clara Cowgirl, county superip.
tendent of Montgomery county, joined
the seed corn special at Villisca and
rode with the party to Red Oak, secur-
ing information from the agricultural
experts for use in connection with the
agricultural teaching she has started
and encouraged in the country schools
Of her county Already she has asked
every student in the county to test
ten ears of corn for use in planting on
their parents farms this spring.
