Marshall county farmers who have
not picked their seed corn for next
years planting face a possible short
age unless there Is a sudden change In
weather conditions. Continued wet
weather Is causing serious damage to
the corn and In some sections at least
is making the probability of securing
good seed corn doubtful. The situa-
ton is becoming serious in tho opinion
Of County Agent w. A. Buchanan and
M. A. Hauser. Of the extension DEPART
ment ut Ames. The latter Is asking
leave Of a few days from his duties to
make close investigation Of the SIT
uation.
In some sections in the western part
Of the county the corn Is flat and farm
ers are gathering 1t up to feed to cat
tie and hogs. The fall rains have caus-
cd ears to sprout resulting In serious
impairment Of the crop and preventing
farmers from securing seed corn.
Water Standing in Husks.
Water falling on stalks gathers in
the husk, causing the ears to sprout.
The water may stand in the husks for
days resulting in damage to the ear
and making 1t unfit for seed purposes.
The loss. it is said, will be inestim-
able unless there Is q marked change
in weather conditions at once.
The corn crop, in most sections, has
been considered heavy. but in many
fields the stand has not been good.
This Is more particularly true in east
ern Iowa and northern Illinois than in
central Iowa.
It has been noted in many large
fields that instead of two or three
stalks shooting from the hills but one
sturdy stalk appeared. The stand in
central Iowa probably was better than
in most sections of the state.

Early Fire Burned
House and Contents

The residence on the /. r. Bate
man ranch near the Belleview school,
house was burned to the ground at
an early hour Tuesday morning with
all of its contents. The house was
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Guy, w.
Randles. The former had arisen at
an early hour and kindled the fire,
after which he went back to bed to
wait for the house to be warm. He
evidently dropped off to sleep, as
the first thing he knew the parti-
tions between the bedroom and liv-
ing room were ablaze. Mr.. and Mrs.
Randles were forced to vacate the
house in their night clothing and
the fire had got such start that
none of the furniture could be saved.
The house was comparatively new
and carried no insurance, neither
did Mr.. Randles have insurance on
his furniture

BOOTH ACKNOWLEDGES
SUPPORT OF ASHLAND

r. A. Booth in a recent letter to
Il. v. Carter, expresses himself as
most heartily pleased with the many
messages he has received from the
Ashland clubs and individuals ask.
ing him TO remain on the highway
commission. AS Mr.. Booth was on
the eve OF starting from Eugene for
a tour over the roads in the eastern
part Of the state, he did not have
time to acknowledge each letter be-
fore leaving.
No definite statement has been
given out by Mr. Booth whether he
will remain on the highway commits
sion or not. He has been besieged
by hosts OF people and commercial
and business mems clubs in South
drn Oregon TO remain, and 1t is
thought he will probably make some
statement when he returns from his
present trip. No man is better post
dc on the needs of the highways than
Mr.. Booth, as he has visited all sec-
tions and has studied conditions In
a thoro manner.

Peace Treaty Draft

states that Premier Lloyd George and

"victory Garden"
is Latest Problem

Now that war gardens" are
thing of the past, the next move
ment along that line is a Victory
Garden" The lessons learned from
the former during the past two years
are of as much usefulness at the
present time, and the present time
is right now, when spring symptoms
are beginning to be noticed.
The need for food is Just as great
at present as It was last year and
the year before. People have learn
ed that the backyard garden carves
a big hole out of the grocery bill,
and If properly managed, a garden
plot can be made to yield all kinds
of edible truck for canning against
the winter.
Indications are that there will be
gardens aplenty this year. While q
large army will not have to be fed,
Europe has appealed to America for
food, and II that is forthcoming, the
necessity for each individual house
hold to raise as much as possible
will be as great this year as last.
The feel of spring" in the air Of
the past few days should bring out
the spade and rake. and the perusal
OF the alluring seed catalogue.

Because he refused to stop his
automobile at the command Of
Speed Cop Mcdonald, Harrison
Riggs, a well known orchard fore
man, is an inmate of the Medford
Sanitarium with a dangerous bull
let wound in his right shoulder. in
flicted by Mcdonald last Monday
night. Tho shooting occurred on
the highway near the Three Oaks
orchard, about three miles south oe
Medford.
According to the story told by
Mcdonald after the shooting. a
message had reached the police sta.
tion in Medford from the Three Oaks
orchard asking for an officer to be-
sent out to disperse some disorderly,
men who were in an auto in front
OF the orchard. Mcdonald went to
the orchard In taxfcab with NJ. L.
Daily as driver, and states that when
they arrived there car was just
leaving. Hating the taxi Mcdonald
jumped out and landed on the run
ping board of the auto and demand
ed that the men stop the car.
Instead OF stopping the car In
creased its speed, and, according to
Mcdonald, the driver attempted to
strike him with a bottle of whiskey.
Mcdonald tried 10 wrest the bottle
from the driver, who then threw the
bottle away and resched down under
the seat.
Thinking he was going to draw
gun, Mcdonald claims he dropped
off the car and fired six shots at the
rear tires, hoping 10 disable the ma
chine and bring IL to a stop. 1t IS
evident that one OF the shots was
aimed too high and took effect in
the shoulder of Riggs, who was the
driver Of the auto.
Riggs after the shooting it is
claimed, admitted that he had a
quart bottle OF whishey when Nc
Donald boarded the running board
of his car. He explained that the
disorderly language in front of the
Three Oaks orchard was caused by
one of his companions who refused
to go away with him in the car.
