DETROIT, June 14.-Henry
Ford's announcement of candi-
.dacy for the u. s. senatorship in
Washington last night came as a
big surprise to his associates
here.
While politicians have been
after Ford for some weeks past

Enforce State Seed Law.

With seed men asking IS to Sc per
bushel for seed corn the laws govern
ing the sale of seed corn are to be en-
forced to the letter, it is announced by
Dairy and Food Commissioner w. B.
Barney, who is responsible for the seed
law enforcement.
The container or package in which
seed corn is enclosed must state where
the seed corn was grown and, if it
tests below ninety-two per cent, the
test must also be marked on the pack
age. These provisions of the law are
highly important. Commissioner Bar
ney declares.
Il understand seed corn is being
brought into Iowa from Missouri" said
Commissioner Barney today. ''This
corn will not mature in the northern
half of the state. 1t takes an early
maturing variety such as has been
grown in the northern latitude to ma
ture properly in an average season in
that part of the state. Hence this
corn grown in a southern latitude will
not do to plant in northern Iowa. l
know of instances of this southern seed
being planted in northern Iowa two
years ago where the corn crop was a
failure.
Hence, we are going to be on the.
alert to catch any of this southern corn
which does not meet the requirements
of the law. The corn will be seized
and the parties who sold it prosecuted
to the full limit of the law.
AS has been the custom of the food
and dairy department heretofore our
department will test samples of seed
corn sent in to US by any one who wish
es such test made. We have facil-
tiles to do this work promptly and &C.
curstely."
Commissioner Barney reports there
is much seed corn in various parts of
the state from this years crop which
was gathered early and hung up in at
tic to dry. The quality of other grains
and seeds grown in Iowa is reported
good.
An increased acreage of spring
wheat is reported to be of utmost i'm
portance if this state is to produce any
thing like the amount of wheat expec-
ted of it.

Draft May Reach Other Groups, Crow
der Tells the House Committee
The drafting of 2, ITO, 900 men for
military service by July l which was
outlined Friday by Secretary Baker
before the House Committee on Mil
itary Affairs, will exhaust the regis
trants in Glass l, according to figures
supplied by the office of the Provost
Marshal General, and probably make
heavy inroads on other classes. too.
While the number of men registered
in classes 2 and 3 have not been made
public by Gen. Crowder, it is believed
that a considerable number of the
army which Secretary Baker has out
lined to the House Committee will
eventually be drawn from these groups.
The call for these men will be issued
only when all of the remaining g.
900, 900 men in Class l have been
called for service, and either sent to
training camps or exempted for rea-
sons specified in the draft law.
