AUTO DOWN CANYON,
NONE BADLY HURT
Occupants of Car Escape Miracu-
lousy When Machine Tumbles
$50 Feet on O'Dell Grade
Pullman Men See Accident

Charles S. Hill and r. Lanning,
while returning from Lacrosse
Wednesday afternoon, were wit
nesses of an automobile accident on
the O'Dell grade, 16 miles west of
Pullman, in which the car tumbled
$50 feet down a steep hillside and
both the occupants escaped with only
minor bruises. The Pullman men
were approaching a sharp turn in
the road when they observed another
car coming down the grade. They
drove to the side of the road so as
not to meet the approaching machine
on the turn and stopped, watching
the progress of the other car The
driver, who gave his name as John
Shoner, evidently attempted to stop
the machine before he reached the
turn in the road, but lost control
and plunged over the steep embank-
ment, the car turning over and over
in it's downward flight and finally
stopping right side up with the driv-
er still intact and uninjured. His
lady companion was thrown from
the machine before it stopped and
sustained severe bruises to her
limbs.
The Pullman men rushed to the
scene of the accident, expecting to
find both the occupants of the car
dead They assisted the couple to
the road and took them to a nearby
farm house. The car, a Buick, was
almost totally ruined, all the wheels
being broken off and the body and
top badly smashed. The escape from
death or serious injury of the couple
was considered little short of mirac-
ulously by the witnesses. The car
is said to have belonged to Will
Hickman.
A peculiar feature in connection
with the case is the fact that Mr..
Lanning, the night before the trip,
dreamed wildly of just such an &C
cident.

John coverdaIe, State Director, Of
Ames, Makes Prediction Follow
Ing His Survey Of
Iowa.
TWO START MOVEMENT
Clinton and Scott Were Pioneers In
the Movement and Several 9th
ers Have Followed
Suit.

Eventually every county in Iowa
Will have crop expert or county
agent. This is the prediction Of John
Coverdale of Ames, who is the state
director of this work, and is EN-.
ployed jointly by the government
and by the state. Now twenty-five
counties Of the state have crop ex.
perts.
Coverdale took up the work in
September. 1912. There were Just
two counties to start out with county
agents-Clinton and Scott. They
pioneered the movement Today the
following counties have crop agents:
Clinton, Scott, Muscatine, Black
Hawk. Linn. Jones, Henry, Des
Moines. Montgomery, Greene. Sioux.
Clay. Emmett, Dickinson, Palo Alto,
humboldt, Wright, Cerro Gordo
Floyd. Hardin and Polk. Polk is just
getting in under the wire.
Counties Organized.
The majority of these counties are
organized on the association plan;
that is, some three hundred members
join the county association and pay
IS per year dues and this maintains
the crop agent and provides fund
for his work. He serves the entire
county and helps all the farmers
whether they have subscribed SIS or
not. But the association elects of.
ticers and the officers run the organ
ization. The members enjoy some
special service.
The agents are paid from $1,000
to $4,000 per year. Their work is di-
vided up into four general lines. They
aid the promotion of agriculture
among the boys and girls of the coun-
ty This is done by corn growing con-
tests, stock growing contests and sim
liar work. Then the agents organize
farm clubs among the farmers and
their wives for the promotion Of agri-
cultural interests. They organize COW
testing associations in dairy district,
breeding associations in districts
where pure bred horses or cattle are
an important interest, and have
charge of the farmers institutes and
short courses.
Experimental Work.
They also conduct experim entail
and demonstration work and find out
what varieties OF grain and grasses
are best adapted to the county; in
fact, the best kinds Of seed for any
crop. Then they tackle all of the
problems OF the individual farmer,
and II they cannot solve the trouble
can call on the experts of the United
States government to help them out.
They also promote the growing of
alfalfa in the counties. These are
only the general lines of work under
taken by the county agent.
The state legislature Of other
states encourage this work far more
than does Iowa, Mr.. Coverdale de-
clares.
