Sheep" he stated, adding "the aggre-
gate value of no animal produced
for profit in this country, except
that of swine, came anywhere near
the aggregate value Of our poultry
and eggs.
"Our poultry brought US more
money last year than our oats
and barley combined and within

wheat produced in the entire country
In 1924 we produced almost $780,
600 chickens and 1865, 100000 dozen
eggs, the aggregate value of which
reached almost one billion dollars
The Iowa farmers producing poultry
and eggs for market in 1919 received
an average income therefrom of $3.50
each.
"The growth of the poultry busi-
ness in this country has been coinci-
dent with the development of steam
transportation. There are now from
two to five car loads of live poultry
in every through freight train be-
tween our western farms and New
York City, not to mention millions
of dressed poultry carried to market
in refrigerator cars every month"

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. l5.-(P)-
The blind baggage Of passenger

found himself up against it for
transportation at Las Vegas, New,
yesterday he grabbed the wing Of an
airplane and heat the best railroad

the weight Of him, hanging on the
outer edge Of the wing nearly sent
the ship into disastrous sideslip.
Neither Major Moseley or Sergeant
Chestnut Wood, accompanying him.
saw their unlimited passenger until
they were we'll off the ground and
having difficulty coaxing the craft
into an even keel. When they did
glimpse him, they motioned him to
crawl in toward the fuselage. He
obeyed and thereby, Moseley later
saved them all from crash.
Wind tore Jacks shirt to shreds
before the plane alighted at Grif-
fifth Park airport here late today.
so Major Moseley made him 4 pres
ent of an army shirt. They noticed
that the aerial hobo had not forgot
ten, during his ride on the wing. to
tie his bedding roll securely to the
structure. Jack told newspaper men
he was II years old and had left his
home in Milwaukee, July Z, to beat
his way" to the coast. He added that
the adventure was his first ride in

CORN ACREAGE
TAKES BIG JUMP

Corn acreage in North Dakota this
year has gone beyond the 100000
acre mark, reports made to the state
department Of agriculture and labor
show. An increase Of more than
100000 acres in the corn acreage in
the last five years is shown.
While the corn acreage is mount
ing steadily toward the million mark,
it is apparent from this years plant
ing intentions, as reported to the de-
partment through assessors, that the
big grain crop Of last year checked
the increase in corn acreage in some
localities.
The report Of corn acreage for this
season shows Cass county as the
leading corn county in acreage, with
Richland second, Dickey third and
Sargent county fourth.

LOOT IOWA BANK

Burt. Iowa, Aug. l5.--R)-Eight
robbers wrecked the safe of the First
National bank here early today and
escaped with $4,000 in bonds and
cash. Eight explosions were required
to wreck the safe. The bank build

Before starting their work the
robbers captured James Foster, who
met them in the railroad yards, and
made him prisoner in box car,
apparently fearing he might inter;
himself this morning. Bank officials
say the loss might reach $4,000, but
was covered by insurance.
The robbers are believed to. have
