IOWA SEED CORN IS SCARCE:
Tests Indicate However That Good
Ears May Yet Be Selected From
the Stalks.

Ames, Ia, Dec. 3.-Iowa farmers
must hurry around to find seed corn.
This is the statement of corn experts
of the Iowa State college here today.
According to these men Iowa is facing
the greatest seed corn crisis in her
history. An extended survey of con-
ditions in all parts of the state-the
state which raises more corn than any
other in the coIntry-led to this
statement. @
Only about rs per cent of the L.
100000 bushels of seed required to
plant the 1918 crop was saved before
the frost of October 6. Some of this
was not properly dried, SO that less
than Is per cent of the required seed
is now assured. According to these
figures, the bulk of pext years seed
must still come from the fields and
cribs.
Tests of corn taken from stalks still
in the field indicate that some good
seed is still unsolicited.
Tests of 1910 ears selected in Mar
shall county before October showed
but II per cent weak and 2 per cent
dead. In Monona county, SO per
cent proved strong, 8 per cent weak
and per cent dead. This means
that the only safe way to make sure
about any seed selected is to make
careful ear test of it.

PeIIa Pastor and Elders Promise To
Be Good. -

Des Moines, Dec. S.-The Rev. w.
H. Weirsing, Pella, Iowa, preacher
and FIVE of his elders in the church
were hauled before United States
Marshal Reid last night to answer to
charges of disloyalty.
Weirsing admitted that he had re-
fused TO sign food pledges and per-
suaded most of his congregation to
take the same stand He also con-
.fessed to the officers that he had talk
ed in the pulpit against the Liberty
loan campaign, the Red Cross sub
scription and the Y. MIC. A. fund
For a time the officers were unde-
cided as to the advisability of grand
jury investigation, but finally released
the six men on their solemn word that
patriotism would be paramount in
their public remarks and actions here
after.
