VALUE OF SOILS SHOWN.
Experiment at state Training School
Gives Good Results.

Special to Times-Republican.
Eldora, july 20.-Few people realize
the value Of soils experimental and
demonstration work. On Thursday.
July 10, l.. w. Forman. soil expert,
Iowa experiment station, visited the
plots on the Iowa state
Training School for Boys. Mr.. Forman
started this work on the farm there
three years ago. The results Of the
soil treatments are beginning to show.
In checking over the plots Of oats yes
terday, Mr.. Forman found that the ad-
dition Of manure. lime and phos-
phorus greatly increased the maturity
and height of the plants. On one,
check plot, which had no soil treat
ment whatever tho oats are quite green
while on those with the above men
toned treatment are ready to harvest.
In estimating the yield, tho soils man
said they would go sixty-five or sew
enty bushels. A great difference was
also shown on the clover from the DIFF
ferent soil treatments. Hardin county
farmers should avail themselves OF the
opportunity to learn what fertilizers
and materials will do on the soils Of
the county.

SUSPECT GERMAN PLOT.
Second Fatal Cave.in Of Lead Mine
Near Quhuaue.

Dubuque, July 20.-What Is thought
by some to be 4 plot on the part OF
German spies or sympathizers to wipe
out the lead and zinc mines OF this
territory became apparent today when
it was learned that the Bull Moose
lead mine No. 2. located In Wiscon-
sln a few miles east OF this city,
had caved In. piling many tons OF
rock and earth upon close to a dozen
miners imprisoned by the cave-in. Ia
tally injurins one of them ana oaoiy
injuring the others.
The blame is laid at the door OF
the German spy because this Is the
second mine cave-ln in this territory
within the past four days and both
mines were the most valuable and
most productive in this part Of the
country. Further. both mines had been
regarded as perfectly safe and were
inspected regularly.
After several hours Of digging res
cuers reached the imprisoned men.
Richard Hines, one OF the victims, was
rushed here and an operation per-
formed in an attempt to save his ire
but he died without regainins con-
sciousness.
The fact that the cave-in at the
Royce mine a few days ago happened
Mt about the same time and in much
the same way strengthens the sus
picion that the blame should be put To
German sympathizers.
