Hardin County Men
Successfully Experiment
With Assyrian Corn
Special to Times Republican.

SpSNidl " i Nv lNSPupliSaIs .
Eldora, Sept. 2l.-Several farmers IN
Hardin county have this year expert
mented with what is known as an As
syrian corn successfully. SO far as
these farmers know this corn came to
the United States by a peddier VINO
several years ago came to this sectls'
of the country carrying with MIN a
few samples of the cereal along with
the trinkets which he sold thru the
country districts. An Eldora cltizen
secured a few kernels of the cereal
from the Assyrian n planted them
in his garden. Thu corn is peculiar IN
a number Of respects, being OF small,
why substance not unlike the Ameri-
can maize or Indian corn, grown here
in an early day. Another unique tea
iture Of this corn is that each kernei
is imhedded in a musk independent OF
the larger or outer covering.
The Assyrian asserted with appar-
ent honesty that the cereal wos of the
same family as hat grown in Bible
times and a direct descendant OF the
corn with which the Prodigal Son fed
the swine after he had wandered into
the far country. 8
At any rate the cereal peculiar to
che grain growers of the corn belt, cas-
aly adapted itself to the conditions eX-
listing in Iowa this year. and gave a
substantial yield. Farmers assert that
a point in the new corn's favor is in
event of a frost it would be much more
likely to escape destruction because OF
its two-fold coverings.

tuberculosis OF the board of control is
exceedingly anxious to impress upon

ars during school hours. Teachers
Very generally have acquainted them
selves with those simple methods by
which, i'll the absence of artificial sys-
TENS Of ventilation. they are able to
keep Il supply of good air in the school

The educators of the state W been
giving very general attention to this
important phase of school management.
and because of this, much is being aC-
complished in the reduction of resplra-
tory disease of one kind or another.
including tuberculosis. 1t would be we'll
where medical inspection in the school
is not maintained. for parents to have
their children thoroly examined with
special reference to the eyes, ears, nose,

cavity. Many physical defects which
impair children's health will be discov-
cred and removed. This will go far to-
ward keeping the child we'll and prop
