Many Other Experiments:
There are other experiments tnat
will be of great benefit to the county,
for instance the subject OF alIalia' IL
has been found in the state that al
falfa can be grown over the entire
state. but the method Of starting is
different in the various localities. IN
Wapello county lime might be neeoeo
or bone meal or phosphorus. Ihere are

Wapello county could also be WORKED
ont at this experimental station. Ana
we will take up the subject or OATS
The experiments that have been per-
formed at our state agricultural college
during the past seven years show that
the early to medium variety OF oats is
best adapted to Iowa. This is ,broad
finding and no doubt covers, the state
as a whole. Perhaps In Wapello county
an extremely early oat is best aoapteo
to your needs. In other counties IN
which I have been I have found that
the extreme late oats have given bet
ter satisfaction. Thus 1t would be one
of the duties Of the county agrlcultur-
alist to try out the new varieties OF
oats on the county experiment farm.
Another subject that he might take
I'D would be that of smut IN oats ana
small grain From counts made on
about 10000 farms in the state OF iowa
last season it was found that oats that
we're not treated for smut contained
about eight per cent smutted heads,
while oats that had been treated IN
the proper way showed only one-half
of one per cent. Figuring this on a
basis of twenty acres of oats to the
average farm in your county, and the
county as a whole, if the oats were all
treated there would be an increase in
WELD from three to five bushels per
acre. Figuring at the basis OF five
bushels and $4,000 acres Of oats IN the
county the increase would be 100000
bushels, and at thirty cents bushel
this makes the sum total $4,000, or
had he caused an increase of just one
bushel to the. acre by the treating fol-

TEMPERANCE WORKERS
To VISIT washington
Delegates from World Congress, Re-
Gently in Session at Brooklyn, VIII
Spend Several Days Here.
PRESIDENT TO GIVE RECEPTION

Representing every section of the
United States and several foreign coun-
tries. more than 200 women temperance
workers. delegates to the World Tenn
perance Congress recently held In
Brooklyn, N. Y, and the convention OF
the National women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, held at Asbury Park. N.
Jr., will arrive in Washington this
afternoon for a visit of several days.
President Wilson probably i'll receive
the visitors at the White House Friday
or Saturday. Arrangements for the re-
ceptlop are being made by local temper
ance leaders. While in Washington the
delegates will be entertained at the w.
c. T. u. headquarters.
Local temperance women returning
from the national convention declare
they were impressed by the marked In
crease Of suffrage in the ranks of the del
egates at the convention. Not one dis
senting vote, they declare, was cast when
the resolution favoring suffrage was
adopted by the national body, demon
strating that many of the temperance
women have been won over TO the cause
since the last national convention.
''If any delegate in the convention was
opposed to suffrage, she did not voice her
protest." declared Mrs. z. S. Henry yes
terday. THE convention received with
elation the news from Illinois, which re-
Gently has granted the ballot, that many
Of the towns in the State have gone dry.
Mrs. Henry declared the national body
has always urged eugenic marriages n
legislation requiring contracting parties
in matrimony to present certificates Of
health.
Mrs Theresa A. williams, another on
Ger OF the local branch of the union. also
declared the principal feature of the con-
vention was the absence OF opposition to
suffrage. She said the members OF the
national body realized that II the liquor
question was to be solved in the country
1t would have to be brought about in q
great measure by women, who, by use
OF the ballot could do much to upllft
conditions generally.

contemplate a reduction of their flesh

Fortunately this is nothing like the
hard labor II was when one had moth

bring any woman. however fat to the
proportions necessary for her to wear

Let her take q Marmola Tablet (made
in accordance with the famous pre-
scription and, therefore, harmless) aft

disturbing ones table customs, forming

Even one large case, costing only 75
