the alarming condition that was found
to exist, AN organized effort is being
made 10 get the corn OF the county
tested By an expert.
The test showed that e-half OF the
seue corn can not be depended upon
to grow, and the foIlowing day the
matter was debated in the sessions,
and action was taken, that. If success
full, Will clear up the difficulty very
much. II was decided TO file with the

GRAIN FARMER FINDS DEFENDER
At MEETING or ELEVATOR
OWNERS.
MAN HOLDS
THEORY ALL WRONG
ManuriaI Fertilization Not Sufficient
to Return All to Soil That Crops
Take Out-Crop of Glover Fed to
Soil Hold to Be More Profitable
Than When Fed to Cattle.

Des Moines. Feb. 16.--Defense of the
grain farmer against the charge that
he is a soil robber' was made here to-
day before the Farmers Grain Dealers
iAssociation of Iowa by Cyril G.. Hop
kins of the department OF, the agron-
omy of the University of Illinois.
The decision between grain farm
ing and live stock farming should be
based upon preference and profit" said
Professor Hopkins. The world does
not live upon milk and meat. There
is need for bread and instead OF call
ing the grain farmer a soil robber.' we
should be just as ready to encourage
soil enrichment in grain farming as In
live stock farming.
The common teaching that live stock
or the farm is essential for the main
tenance of soil fertility is entirely err
roneous. 1t is also an erroneous as
sumption that the manure produced in
live stock farming is sufficient for the
permanent maintenance of fertility on
such farms.
Animals and animal products are
not made out OF nothing. Bone meal
liz worth s2J or $50 a ton because or
the fertility II contains, and this fer
tility was taken from the soil by the
crops and removed from the crops by
the animals. not all Of the fertility In
the crops fed being recovered In the
manurial eXcrcments.
"A ton Of clover may be harvested.
hauled to the barn, and fed 10 cattle
to produce $50 pounds Increase in the
live weight OF cattle. worth perhaps
sl2: or 1t may be plowed under without
harvesting and thus fed to a succeeding
crop Of wheat, perhaps increasing the
yield by fifteen bushels. which at so
cents a bushei is also worth s12.
Both the science Of soil fertility
and the results Of long continued farm
trials fully establish the fact that the
productive power OF normal soil can
be maintained on grain farms as well
as on live stock farms, by means of
ground limestone, finel. pulverized ma
tural phosphate rock, and home grown
organic matter. which may be farm
manure or 1t may be legume crops and
crop resdues plowed under"

Ackley, Feb 1s.-Few men live to

hearing and sight practically unim-

east of Parkersburg. last Tuesday to
help him celebrate this extraordinary
birthday anniversary. And as might
be expected he had birthday cake.
prepared by the hands of his daughter,
already grandmother.
In all those hundred years and thou
sands OF days he never experienced
single day Of sickness. except once
when he suffered serious accident
and the doctors gave him up for dead,
but his tremendously rugged constitu-
ton defied even the doctors and he
got we'll II was in what would have
been termed later years Of the life of
an ordinary man. He tried to remove
a bucket from under horse in stall
and the animal reared, stumbled and
fell upon him crushing three ribs into
his lungs. Theoretically consigned to
the grave by the physicians. he slipped
one over on the grim reaper and was
in short time as spry as ever and
apparently none the worse for the ac-
cident. He has never been total
abstainer. but used liquor only on rare
occasions and has used tobacco for
over eighty years and enjoys pipe or

He was born in Germany Feb. 10.

settling for a short time in South
Carolina, then moving to near Free

kensett, Feb. l6.--F'ox trotting OF
the variety made vogue by the Vernon
Castles is not the most popular
diversion in Worth county this winter.
The trotting is being done after real
live Sir Reynards. Hunting parties
are daily out seeking q shot at a real
live wild fox. for more foxes are in
evidence this season than have been
known for close to score of years.
Local hunters in the immediate vicin-
ity of this village have procured the
pelts of more than a dozen red foxes
thus far A fox hound has been i'm
ported by a bunch Of the more earnest
enthusiasts and is being used in long
cross country trailing. While in this
locality as reported from other sec
lions OF the state rabbits are scarcer
than the proverbial molars of the hen,
wolves and foxes have increased in
large numbers so as to become a
menace to chicken raisers and owners
of calves and sheep. A few wolves
have been reported as bagged but in
the main they have proved too elusive
The absence of rabbits is attributed
TO tubercular infections caused by the
past wet season The few which have
been shot have shown marks Of the
infection.
