RECORD CROP 81 TIMOTHY SEED.
One Hundred 0ushels on Ten .Aere
Tract On Farm Near Marion.

L +. 4 .
Cedar Rapids, Aug. 13.-What is be-
lieved to be the greatest yield Of tim
othy seed produced anywhere on a ten
acre piece of ground is the timothy
seed raised by H. w. Virgins, farmer
residing northeast of Marion. On his
ten acre field Mr.. virgins raised 100
bushels Of timothy seed. This is more
than double m average yield. as good
average yield is considered to be four
to five bushels to the acre.
Mr. Wiggins was on the Cedar Rap
ids market yesterday and reported the
yield. On account Of the low price on
timothy seed, he will not sell the
product now. II Mr.. Virgins had these
100 bushels OF seed to sell six months
ago, he would have received $3.50, as
the seed then was quoted at Is cents
per pound. II he sold the seed now,
when 1t is quoted at sh cents per
pound he would receive for the 100
bushels the sum Of 1897.

the checks l, 2, 3 and so on.
Place this over the sand, dirt

Take the ears to be tested

floor and mark a number in
front of each or attach a num-

six kernels from ear mot all

the squares of the cloth.
After the kernels have been
