Teach Negroes to Plant Food Crops.

Booker Washington writes to
the New Orleans Item concerning
the Importance of reaching negro
farmers and. teaching them how to
raise food crops as well as cotton.
He says'that the negroes have not
the opportunities of learning OF
the subject as taught in the public
prints, as white men have, hence
the negroes do not realize the i'm
portance of growing food crops.
Many of them, besides, do not
come under the influence Of white
people able and willing to teach
them. The negro apostle suggests
that the method of reaching the
farmers of his race would be to
put "a negro farm demonstration
agent into every county of the
South where there is any consider
able number of negro farmers.
This negro demonstration agent
should be q man of good common
sense. He should be a man who
knows the characteristics of the
colored people, who knows how GO
reach. them IN and through So
cieties, their churches and their
various organizations of one kind
and another. He should be man
| required TO travel from one farm
to another throughout the country
training the negro farmer how k
produce food crop. Wherever
these demonstration agents have
already been at work in the South
they have done work which has
been most helpful and commend

TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Farmer Living Near Allison Nearly
Cremates Wife and Child Trying
to End Life.

Allison March 16.-Herman Walt
ers, farmer, attempted to commit
suicide last night by beating himself
over the head with quart bottle of
waiskey. The bottle broke and the
alcohol became ignited from the
hot stove, setting fire to the clothing
of his wife and small child. When
Walters saw what he had done, in
stead of helping his wife, who was
enveloped in flames, he went to the
barn, placed one end of rope around
his neck, the other end over a beam,
and jumped off into space. The rope
came united, however, and he was
not injured and escaped with a few
bruises on the head. In the mean
time the wife had extinguished the
names and summoned neighbors
who held Walters until the sheriff ar
rived.

CAT AND DYNAMITE
WRECK HOUSE
Feline, Seeking a Warm Bed, Knocks
Explosive From Resting Place.

Marshalltown, Ia, March 10
Two pounds of dynamite and tom
cat played havoc with the country
home of Dick Dillinghusen, near
Allison, small town north of here
in Butler county. The net results
are wrecked home and a dead
tom cat.
Mr.. Dillinghusen had bought the
dynamite for use in blasting stumps
and had placed it on top of the
furnace to thaw out. The cat, find
ing warm place to sleep after a
hearty breakfast, dreamed of other
cats and, in his excitement, knocked
the dynamite to the cement floor.
The explosion was terrific. The din
ing room, directly above the furnace,
was completely wrecked. Every win
dow in the house was broken. The
chimney lay in mass of ruins in
the cellar. A soda in the dining
room was reduced to shreds. The
furnace was blown to pieces, and the
fire scattered about the cellar. The
house was soon in flames, but neigh
bors assisted in subduing them.
Mr.. Dillinghusen and two of his
children were in the dining room at
the time of the explosion. How they
escaped with their lives is a mystery
to all who have seen the ruins, but
neither of the three was injured.

SEED TEST WARNING.
Commissioner Barney Says Farmers
Should Not Neglect Usual Spring
Precautions.

Warning to farmers to test their
B. Barney, state dairy and food in
spector. The notice is a little later
than usual, as the authorities have
not deemed the matter so urgent this
year on account of the large amount
of good seed within the state. Never
theless, the department wants every
farmer to continue the practice of
testing the seed in the spring.
There is a larger supply of good
seed corn in Iowa this year than we
have had in many years." declared
Mr.. BARNEY, But we want every far
mer to test his seed before planting
so that the matter of poor seed can
be determined while there is time
to remedy it instead of waiting un-
til fall for the results.
Farmers who must buy seed corn
should exercise good judgment where
and what kind of seed they purchase.
Because seed is comparatively plenti-
full does not signify that all the corn
will produce good results.
I'VE have found in recent years
that the advice to farmers in the
spring to ascertain the value of the
seed had practically done away with
complaint of poor quality seed. We
get but few complaints now. A few
years ago we were swamped with
protests from farmers.
THE testing of the seed has put
money into the pocket of every farm
er who has adopted the custom. We
can get results when We can show
the grower how his income will be
increased. Good seed has added many
bushels to the yield of each acre. II
will continue to do it as long as the
farmers will take a little trouble ev-
cry spring to look into the quality OF
their seed"

Open Winters And The Cemeteries

Open Winters And The Cemeteries.
1t was once accepted as an axiom
that black Christmas makes a
green graveyard" Snow foot to six
feet deep was deemed necessary to a
healthy winter" Even in these
days many persons connect an open
winter with full graveyard.
The Chicago Bulletin of Health
furnishes some statistics that argue
oppssitely to the Oldest inhabitants
health requirements of zero weather
and deep snow. There had been
practically no snow and the mercury
had run as high as 60 degrees when
the bulletin was published. The re-
duction of the death rate from pneu-
menia during the open winter months
was 29.6 per cent, or nearly one third
rs compared with the previous five
years. The reduction was 1913 per
cent, in influenza and 7.S per cent, in
the rate for tuberculosis. There have
likewise been reductions of measles,
which dropped 50 per cent; scarlet
fever, 54 per cent; diptheria, 24.2
per cent, and whooping-cough, 1872
per cent. The bulletin accounts for
this by the opportunity given by the
mild weather for outdoor living and
better ventilation in living quarters
