MOLDY CORN DAMAGING CROP.
Large Amount in Fields Which Is
Lowering Grade Of Crop When
Placed in Crib.

| Moldy corn is causing from to 10
bushels loss to each acre OF corn in
central Iowa, according to the extern
sion service plant disease experts of
Iowa State College. This moldy con-
dtion was caused by the early Sep
TENDER rains and the warm fall which
gave the molds good chance to de-
yelop. Corn that Is down is suffering
most and it is the early corn that is
suffering this season instead of the
late corn, which generally is damaged.
Moldy corn should be left in the
fields as il is Of no valu and is dan
gerous to feed to stock. When put in
crib of corn there is generally
enough moisture present to spoil
other corn and lower the quality so
that less money is gotten for the
whole crop.
Where seed corn was picked from
a field that has considerable mold in
it the seed should be put where it
will thoroly dry as this kills the molds
Damp storage faYors the growth OF
molds.
Fields that are heavily infested with
moldy corn are not good places to
turn cattle into as the mold is liable
to poison the cattle and the loss be
greater than the value Of the feed.

Bloc Favors Repeal OF Railroad Guar
antee

Sixteen Senators, members of the
Agricultural Bloc, met last Friday eve
ming to discuss the railroad situation
and proposed legislation. 1t was the
consensus of opinion of those present
that the repeal of the guarantee clause
of the sportation Act should be
urged and that freight rates on farm
products should be reduced. The ques-
ton Of long haul rates compared with
short haul rates was also discussed
President J. r. Howard Of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation ad-
dressed the Bloc on the freight rate
question. He stressed the farmers
universal desire for settl 2ment Of the
railroad problem and the necessity
Of freight rate reduction.
Gray Silver, Washington repres enta-
tive presented statistics and charts
showing that the increase in freight
rates has been So per cent since 1913;
that agriculture is the basis for more
than half the tonnage of freight and
that the farmer pays so per cent OF
the annual freight bill. He presented
charts showing comparison of rates
with farm prices. Farm prices are
now down to practically prewar level,
while freight rates are IS per cent
above pre-war level. Comparison Of
rates shows advances on specific hauls
ranging from 50 to 100 per cent.

Wool Growers Association.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from " G.. Warner. secretary
of the Iowa Fleece Wool Growers
Association, regarding the wool pool ::
"A reasonable degree of activity has
prevailed in the wool trade since our
last letter. We are glad to inform you
that the 1920 wool has all been sold
and account sales are being rendere
at the present time, in the order in
which the wool was received. Thos :
who shipped wool early in the sea-
son will receive their account sales
first.
I'm figuring up the average for our
1920 wool it is about 22h cents per
pound. the range being from IA to So
cents. A large volume, $50, 400 pounds
of the 1921 wool has been sold in the
last two weeks. The price on some
grades is a few cents higher than the
same grades of the 1920 pool.

"The market at present seems more
active and 10 to Is per cent advance
is noted in the last London wool sales
Wa hope to be able to move the'2l
clip by the first OF the year.
I'VE have experienced a great deal
of difficulty in disposing of our 1920
wool on account of there being no de-
mand from the mills and trust that
our consignors will not judge the mer-
its Of cooperative marketing by the
past years results as its standard.
Would 1t not be just as fair to Judge
the usual method of marketing thru
spectators by their failure to func-
ton after May 20. 1920 for one year :?
You cannot expect the consignment
method to do the impossible.
ION account of the high freight
rates 1t has advanced the handling
charges more than we anticipated.
However, feel all those consigning
a good grade Of wool will make mon
ey by doing SO. To those who market
their wool direct from the grower TO
the consumer by consigning consis-
tently will receive a good remunera-
ton. .

project has been great success. The
time for closing is November first.

office you will send them in at once.

The last week five townships have
held their annual me etings: Richland,
Collins Grove, Colony, Milo and Oneida.
These townships have all had good
attendance. In places there was not
even standing room to accommodate
the crowd. These meetings are to Sc
lect the projects for next year, to dis
cuss the Farm Bureau and community
work, and to choose the leaders for
next year. Moving pictures were
shown consisting of three educational

ter, blocked the kick and it went out
of bounds barely over the line OF
scrimmage. 1t was Farmington's ball
near the middle of the field. Flat Riv-
er contested every foot of ground for
the remainder of this period, but the
quarter ended with ball in Farming
toms possession on Flat Rivers twen-
ty-four yard line. Flat River had not
made first down during the quarter.
In this quarter Pennington rushed
the oval 176 yards. while Flat River
had gained thirty-two yards in the
same manner.
The second quarter resulted in q
second score for Pennington, made
on line plunge by Simms. He kicked
the goal making the score IA to in
favor of Pennington. The first half
ended without further scoring.
The third quarter resulted in no
score and was little more stubborn
ly fought by the Flat River huskies,
but they were unable to advance the
ball nearer than forty-one yards OF
Farnington's goal, and lost sufficient
ground to leave the ball in Farming
toms possession on the Flat River
Vineyard line. Early in the fourth
quarter Pennington carried the ball
over on line play by Simms, who
again kicked goal. Score 21 to 0.
Pennington makes her fourth touch
down of the game in this quarter, af-
ter series of terrific line plunges and
fast end runs, eliminating in pretty
run by Graves for eight yards and a
touchdown. Simms kicks goal. Score
90 to 0 in favor of Pennington High
School-"The High School with the
College Spirit"
A careful analysis of the game
clearly indicates that Pennington out
played her adversary in every de
partment of the game, both offensive
and defensive. Possibly the most re
markable and most gratifying feature
of the game was the strength of Farm
ington's line that had been special,
coached to withstand the assaults o
Flat Rivers heavy line. With tn
mighty Detring at center and the oil
veterans Garner and Simpson, support
ed by such fast and fearless plunger
as Marbury, Sloan, Murphy and Glib
son, the line not only held "like
stone wall" on defense, but smashe
Flat Rivers offense and often stoppe
their plays before they were fairl
started. To enumerate Pennington
stars would be to give the line .uI

Another Split in
Double Header

Another double-header ball game
Sunday afternoon on the Yeargain
grounds drew an encouraging attend
ance Of lovers Of the national pas
time. In the first contest the DeLas-
sus team was matched against the lo-
cal organization. Many erroneous re-
ports gained circulation regarding
this game, which indicated that De-
Lassus had some surprises in the way
Of talent. The persistency Of such re-
ports put the home team on their met
tie, and it was for this reason that
Forshee, acknowledged to be the
strongest boxman that has played
with Pennington the past season, was
put to work against them.
But such reports proved to be cam
outage, as the DeLassus lads proved
to be outclassed. In view of the fact
that erroneous reports caused the put
ting in of the strongest pitcher, it
would appear to have been the proper
thing to replace him after the first in
ming, after the DeLassus boys failed
to display any artillery. But for
some reason such preparation for the
harder game was never made. While
the result was not tragedy, is was
more or less of slaughter.
Before the game with the Arcadia
Valley team began, considerable time
was wasted, apparently without ade-
quate reason. While the visitors were
warming up it became apparent that
the home boys would be kept busy, and
it was here they soon realized thai
they were in sore need Of Forshee''
puzzling delivery, as the visitors ex
perienced no difficulty in finding
Clawson, and he was really batted ou
of the box some time before the loca
management appeared to realize thai
fact. Unfortunately, a controvers!
arose over u ueClSlolly anu NohoSANA
more daylight was "hurned" befor'
play was resumed. In the ninth IN
ming it became apparent that some o
that wasted daylight would be yer.
essential in finishing the game, as tn
shades Of night draw very quickly q
this season of the year. .'
At the end of the seventh inning
was decided to "call it day, owin
to the darkness, with the score 10 t
6 in favor of Arcadia Valley. But j
the brief period Forshee operated i
this game Tightening of the line
was noticeable throughout the locs
lineup, which came with added conf
dence in the boxman's ability to deliv
er, and had daylight lasted awhil
longer there is good reason to belleV
Pennington would have overcome tn
visitors lead. But, while that is
very good alibi. it has no bearing o
the actual result Of the game.

Game of P0lit-
ical "FO0tball"

The manner in which the two State
institutions of Southeast Missouri
have been iuggled around under the
present administration is disgusting
in the extreme, to say the least of it.
And when it is considered that the on
ly possible result that can be gained
by such juggling is the rewarding of
politicians, or the strengthening of
that party, such juggling appears to
be absolutely contemplate. There is
absolutely no regard for the good and
well-being of the poor unfortunate
charges in State Hospital No. a when
such political juggling can be carried
on with that institution as the victim.
When so-called non-partisan
Board of Control win remove the head
and control of State Hospital No. q,
notwithstanding the splendid and out
standing record he has made, and i'm
ports stranger to take charge OF
that important place. in which work
the new appointee is also novice, it
appears to The Times that such action
indicates a woeful lack Of managerial
ability. 1t is also q direct and posi-
tive insult to every county and dis
triet medical society in Southeast
Missouri. There is something wrong
with a non-partisan Board Of Control
that tears asunder the well known eff
ficienet management that has charac-
terizeed State Hospital No. 4.

Good Looking

G 1-2 miles south of this city, is now
beginning to assume shape, so that
the quality of the work being done is
