SILVER KING
Northern Iowa Farmers Will
Experiment With Prize
Corn.

Ames, Ia, Nav 1.-Two hundred
Iowa farmers in the four northern tiers
of counties are planting experimental
plots this spring of Silver King seed
corn, the 100 bushel variety for north
ern Iowa developed by the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station.
Ia 80 counties especially selected
bushel lots of Silver King seed are be-
ing planted in six or seven acre plots.
Not more than four such lots are sent
to a county. Two pound lots of seed,
enough for a quarter acre, have been
sent to all farmers requesting ii.
These experimental plots are to be
seed centers for Silver King corr for
another year. The farmers will also
make accurate reports of yield and
adaptability to Prof. j. Buchanan,
director of the Iowa agricultural ex-
perimental station.
"Silver King corn is clearly the ont
standing variety for northern Iowa, y
says Prof. H. ID. Hughes of the Iowa
experiment station. 1T is doing fol
the northern counties what Reid
Yellow Dent has done for central and
southern Iowa. 1t is early maturing
high yielding, and more uniform il
quality than any variety adapted Il
this region. We are satisfied that thil
wide use by the farmers of the north
ein~-eounties will add thousands o
bushels annually to lowa's corn pro
duction."

COUNTY ASSESSORS
County Commissioner Finnie
Writes the Record of Satur-
days Meeting Straight.

Wentworth, S. D., May Ito the
Editor: | notice in Mondays Daily
Leader of April 2S. an article in re-
gard to the assessors meeting of LAX
county, with headlines. "Lake county
assessors agreed on a rise in valuation
of Al per cent" and horses at $40
each aud cows at $50 each.
l want to state, as one of the asses
sors present at the assessors meeting
that there was no such prices agreed
on. There was a motion made to
make the land average $50 per acre,
but this was voted down. Hugh
Smith of Howard, a member of the
state tax commission, was present ana
was asked with regard to making a
schedule for real and personal property.
he gave us to understand that he
thought ii would be all right. They
had done so in Miner county. |
therefore made the suggestion that if
this would comply with the law shat
we could raise Zach township by multi
plying by 4 or AZ per sent which would
keep the several townships on the same
average as at present aud this would
save a lot of work when the county
board came to e1ualizs But there
was no action taken whatever. In
justice TO those assessors who we've not
present, / ask that you state the facts
and not other wise. Those are the facts
es given above. ID Nj. Finnie.
The Daily Leader is pleased to pub
lish Mr.. Finnie's letter. The taxing
affairs of the county are very important
at all times and especially at this time
when a new ruling is to be put into
force. In his official capacity as
county commissioner and assessor OF
Leroy township, Mr.. Fipnie mas
much to do with the taxing business,
and being present at Saturdays meet
ing is thoroughly eonversant with its
proceedings. and we are pleased that
be has written the record straight.
A Daily Leader reporter was pres
ent during a portion of Saturday
afternoons meeting which was con
fined entirely to discussion, which we
stated. Again in our Monday report
of the meeting we stated that there
were no formal written proceedings,
and the figures we gave in that re-
port we obtained verbally, and of
course according to Mr.. Fiunie's letter
was a misunderstanding of the actual
proceedings had. However, Mr.. Fin
MES letter sets the record straight
and there will be no further grounds
for a MISUNDERSTANDING.

WREN AND SWALLOW
Friendly Little Neighbor, Wren
Barn Swallow Devour-
err of Insects.

By Prof. Visher of the University of
South Dakota: House Wren (Tiog-
lodytes aedon parkmani) is restricted
10 the woods nut fortunately SO many
of our older farm homes nave groves
that as sociable a bird as the wren
is quite familiar. 1t nests in hollow
trees along all our wooded streams. In
the younger tree claims where natural
| nesting sites are not available they
will meet in a tin can or other recep-
tacle if such is supplied. If wrens
don't nest heal your home put up in a
nearDy tree a box with a very small
hole, smaller in diameter than a
quarter, or a slit three or four inches
long but less than an inch wide.
These precautions are taken to keep
ont the English Sparrow. Your
| chances of Obtaining n CHEEKY tenant
will then be good. especially if you
don't have a troop of cats.
The house wren is as energetic a
little bird as you could want. They
are always on the 90. They sing
with all their might. Their notes
fairly tumble over each other. they are
poured out so fast. At times the little
musicians become so ecstatic that they
raise their quivering wings high over
their back.
The food of the wren is almost en-
tirely insects. "Half of ths food con-
sists of g~rasshoppers and beetles and
| other half is made up of almost equal
quantities of caterpillaIs, bugs and
spiders.
Description, length 5 inches.
| Brown. barred with darker; below
somewhat more grayish; rusty-colored
tail often carried erect.
The Barn Swallow (Hirundo cry
throsstra) is perhaps our best known
swallow. though we have several
others which are very abundant in
many localities. Our other kinds are
all colony builders, but the barn
swallow generally nests a pair OF two
to a barn. 1t builds an open mud
nest. The eve or cliff swallow makes
a covered mud nest; the bank and
rough winged burrow into banks
while the tree swallow nests in trees,
the violet green in crevices in cliffs
and the martin in bird boxes.
Though the wonder about the
strange and varied nesting instincts
of the swallows. their most wonder
full trait Is their remarkable power,
of fight. They circle about wit,
such rapidity as to almost defy effort
to continually follow their movements
"No bird is better loved by th,
average dweller. With absolutely n,
bad habits, believed to subsist entirs
ly upon winged insects (mosquitoes
flies. etc. and always graceful
beautiful and musical, this bird ha
few rivals in the affections Of the rea
nature lover
Description: Length 2 inches; stee

FAITHFUL DOG
Good Hearted Men Send Him
To His Master.

Calico Rock. Ark, May 2.-Bruce,
the faithful old shepherd dog OF Owen
Rand was sent speeding to California
and the master for whom he monrned.
And a number of Calico Rock boys
experienced a warn glow in the region
of their hearts when they thought OF
the happiness that was In store for
faithful, loving old Bruce when he
met his master in California.
About two months ago Z. N. Raud's
Sons. merchsntile firm of this place,
was dissolved. and Owen Raud. one
of the members. moved to Cotton,
Cal. He left Bruce. who is fifteen
years old and has known no other mas
ter.
Poor old Bruce was pitiable. The
old dog wandered disconsolately about
town, always hunting his master
Every n wanted to be kind to the old
fellow, and any home in town would
have been open to him. But old
Bruce was broken hearted. He refused
to make new friends.
Touched by the dogs misery, some
one proposed that a collection be tax
en- to send Bruce to California after hi
master The suggestion met with en-
thusiastic approval. The hat wa,
passed around. and it required but /;
few minutes to secure enough money.
One of the old dogs friends made {
crate, furnished it with enough food Il
last him a week, and Bruce was started
on his two-thousand mile journey {,
join his master.
