the bondsmen of the two Peoria de-
PENDANTS in the dynamite conspiracy
trial, Edward Smythe and James E.
Ray, surrendered the two defendants
In court, and was discharged from liza
bility on the bond. ....
Smythe and Ray were given In to
the custody of United States Marshal
Schmidt and were placed in Jail.
The bondsman, who asked to be dis.
charged from the $1,000 liability in
each instance was Thomas Webb, a
broker and large property owner OF
Peoria.
Ray is former president of the To-

Henry |. Nowlan. attorney for the
two defendants, said new bond would

Nonunion men were put to work,
said the witness, and the first explo

months later the plant of the construc
tor was blown up. 1t was this job
that McManigal said he blew up with
Smythe's aid. One can of nitroglyceriu
left by McMaE&gal failed to explode

IOWA CORN CROP
45O,,000,O00 BU
SUCH Is ESTIMATE OF. SEcRE-
TARY IOWA GRAIN DEALERS.
IMMENSE WEALTH TO STATE
Iowa Crop Director Chapel is Busy
On His Figures and Expects To
Have Them Ready by Dec. =
The Record by Years.

Des Moines, Nov. 20.--George A.
Wells, secretary of the Iowa Grain
Dealers association, estimates that
the crop will be 45S,000,000, of which
As 900, 900 will be soft corn. The
latest government estimates say 49,.
000, 900 bushels.
Iowa Crop Director George M
Chapel has not yet compiled his fig,
ures for 1912, but is busy at the work
and expects to reoprt to the public the
exact yield of corn by December 1st
He states that from reports now in
his possession there can be no doubt
that the 1912 corn crop will be the
greatest in the history of the state
The highest previous yield was 1885,,
100000 bushels in 1906, and DIR. Chap
pei cannot greatly exceed this big
showing without coming near to the
estimates quoted above.
The enormity of this crop of corn
can best be conceived by comparison
In 1911 Iowa raised 2Sl 100000 bush
els of corn, and this vast crop will be
almost doubled this year. 1T comes
in on the average yield per acre,
said Secretary George A. Wells. "Our
present figures show an average of 46
bushels per acre in the state, the
highest average in the history of the
state. A year ago the average was
25 bushels per acre. Take the
same number of acres and see what
an enormous increase il will make In
the crop"
Iowa is worth 100000, 900 or better
on her corn crop alone this year, to
say nothing of the millions of bush
els left over. This is on the basis Of
sale of corn. Much of the corn will
of course be fed and bring a much
greater return in cash than II sold or
the market. The wheat and oats croI
in the state have been doubled this
lyear and every yield that Is staple IN
i the stale shows corresponding IN
crease. In 1911 Iowa raised 100000,
bushels of spring and winter wheat
in 1912 the total is 17,461 800 bushels
In 1911 Iowa raised 120,644,300 bush
els of oats; in 1912 the total is 2l4,
$50, 900 bushels. These immense fig
ures tend to show the prosperity o.
the state and are a forecast of the
wealth of gold which will pour into
Iowa from these sales of grains which
the world must have for foods.
The weather has been ideal fol
Ihusking. The 10 per cent estimated
soft corn is due to early frost touch
ing corn which had a late start. Re
ports to the grain dealers from practi
cally every county in the state show
that corn is husking out better av
erage to the acre in almost ever,
county than was forecasted earlier IL
the season. Many bear stories abou
Iowa corn being damaged by tn,
ifrosts all turn out to be myths
The following table shows the corr
record in Iowa for number of years
