co. AGENTS REPORT
In Some Counties Farmers
go on Record as
Opposed.

Ames. Iowa, Jan. 1G. (Special.)-
Iowa farmers are not burning corn this
winter, except to very small extent.
For the greater part, such corn as has
been burned has been mOldy or inferior
corn. not suitable for feeding or mar
keting, and that has always been done.
more or less. 1t is the Judgment of
men who are in close touch with the
situation that neither the supply Of
corn in Iowa nor the market price has
been appreciably affected by the very
limited corn burning in the state.
These statements about the situation
are based on reports just secured from
county agents by Il. X. Bliss, the lirec-
tor OF agricultural extension at Iowa
State college. The county agents gen
orally are in close touch with the stu
ation and many Of them have made sIe-
cial effort to secure information.
Agents Report.
In 40 Of 64 counties reporting to la to-,
county agents say that no corn is being
burned in 5 counties they say that not
more than 10 per cent of the farmers
are burning some corn, usually with
coal and wood /; in one county 2 per cent
Of the farmers are thus reported to be
burning corn; in 6 counties agents say
that more or less moldy and inferior
corn is burned; in II other counties.
agents say that very little, or a negli-
gible amount is used for fuel. In one
county corn Is burned in the furnaces
OF the county court house, and the
county infirmary.
Burn Small Amount.
1t is not possible to place any very
accurate estimate on the amount of
corn burned in Iowa, nor the percentage
of farmers who are using this cereal
for fuel. However. on the face of the
returns, not more than per cent of
the farmers in the counties reporting
are burning corn as fuel in place of
wood or coal. Probably by far the
greater number who burn corn are
merely burning corn that is not fit for
much else. All told, 1t seems unlikely
that these counties burned more than
100000 bushels or 100000 bushels of
corn fit for feeding or marketing. and
that is much less than per cent of the
good corn produced in those counties
to be more nearly exact, about one
eighth Of one per cent.
For the most part, the relatively
small amount Of corn that has been
burned has been burned on farms that

PHILADELPHIA, May 2o.-Dr.
r. Newton Harvey OF Philad elphia.
a graduate ~ the University OF

Where Franklin with his kite
brought about the eventual dis

about the discovery OF cold light

no more than a IL. 0OOth OF q de-

no ''powerhouse" but the air and its

IN an interview with the United

20 explain the nature OF the discovery
that has turned the eyes OF the scien-
tlic world upon him. but TO demon

He took several rinches or

them into one OF the round bottom

in an almost entirely dark room.

In the flask itself there appeared

After several minutes had passed
