City Bolloitor Kimball in an officlal opin- fon given yesterday in response to enquiries "trom City Engineer Etnyre who has been instructed to prepare plans, plats and esti- mates of the cost of the proposed dlversion of Indian creek says that the greatest sum the city could ralse by taxation for paying the cost of the contemplated tmprovement would be about $5,000 & year for a period of ten years, or « total of $0,000. Mr. Kimball's opinion 18 based on his construe- tion of the statute under which the councll was asked to-proceed by the citizens who signed the petition for the diversion of the éfeek. Other lawyers, however, differ with Mr. Kimball and are 'of the opinion that the eity ‘wou.d have the right to levy four mills on the property within the bene- fited district and two mills on all property outside of such distriot. This would be about $10,00 a year or $100,000 in the ten years, The Royal Roaster, made of polished steel, wira rack that prevents the roast or fowl from gcorching. Prices, 6¢, Toe, 8ic, $1. P. €.

He contended that last year he | had been promised that St. Joseph would be given the show in 1910 and he charged the directors of the National Hortlcultural congress with bad faith. Mr. Irvine with- drew his name from the list of newly elected directors as he said he dld not wish to serve uniess his heart was In it and it certainly would not be after the un- fair treatment which he alleged had been glven him. Before leaving yesterday aft- ernoon for his home Mr. Lrvine declared! that St. Joseph would have a frult show of its own in opposition to that of the National Hortlcultural congress. Next Year in November. The fruit exposition next year will be held about the middle of November, the exact date to be determined later by the executive committ The annual meeting of the National Hor- ticultural congress yesterday morning was presided over by W.

Canada of Houston, Tex. St. Paul, Minn, was named by G. H. Shallenberger of Bolse, Idaho, but as soon as Mr. Shal- lenberger saw that the meeting was almost unanimous for Councll Bluffs he withdrew, saying: “The city of St. Paul desires to get out from under the snowstorm and I withdraw the nomination of St. Paul in favor of Councll Bluffs. J. P. Hess, Congressman W. I Smith and Hon. Sllas Wilson of Nampa, Idaho, were appointed a committee to draft reso- lutions on the death of Alexander Wood, second vice president of the National Hor- ticultural congress, whose death occurred on the opening of the fruit exposition last Monday. The executive committes, which will con- sist of the chairmen of the several stand- ing committees, will be appointed by Presi- dent Hess. Each chalrman will have the naming of the members of his respective committee. The president will also name a com- mittee to prepare the draft of a law re- quiring owners of orchards to take the necessary caro of same by spraying, etc., for the prevention of scab disease and ex- termination of insects and for the Inspec- tion of market fruit. With the election of officers the meeting adjourned. Exposition Closes noors. The second annual frult exposition of the National Hortlcultural congress closcd last night with an attendance which easily broke the record for any night of the week. The announcement that a young couple, whose identity was kept a secret until yesterday afternoon, would be mar- rled at the Auditorium attracted a large number and the big bullding was literally jammed with a seething crowd two hours before the time announced for the cere- mony, which The groom was Arthur Hansen, a young man f this city employed In Omaha, and Miss Nellie Campbell, also of this city, employed as telephone operator by the Hafer Lumber company. was performed under the floral altar arranged In the Wilcox booth, bridal Dr. 18/|O.

The work of dismantling the exhibis was begun as soon as the crowd com- menced to thin out after the wedding cere- mony.

The Wca‘t;cr: Temperature at Omaha yesterday: | was aiready In possession of all the infor- [ 1iberty lAtter he went, I exposition features attached, have proved to be very successful in many western cities. Sicux City, Ia, has the honor of originating the Corn exposition ides, some twelve or fifteen years ago. More than 50,000 ears of corn will be exhibited at the Omaha show. Other grains also will be shown, but corn is to rule supreme over all, Ihe prizes to be dls- tributed will aggregate $0,00. But perhaps the greatest pubilc interest will center in the contest for the largest and finest ear of corn grown In the country this year, for which a prize of a gold cup has been offered by a certain breakfast food con- corn. The wide advertising given to this prize cup in the newspapers and magazines has focused the interest of the whole coun- try upon this one feature of the National Corn show. Every corn-growing state will be represented in the exhibits, as well as every varlety of corn grown. Including the decorative effects, ranging from a land- scape, done in corn, to the latest thing in millinery, copled in maize, the show will boast more than 8,000 separate exhibits. “More corn to the acre” is the slogan of the National Corn show. James G. Blaina once predicted that corn would become the backbone of dgriculture *in the United States, and the prophecy long since has been fulfilled. It is conceded that the prospective corn acreage of ‘the nation is now nearing its maximum. With 101,000,000 acres davoted to the growing of corn In 1908, the total yield was 2,668,000,000 bushels, ond the farm valye of the crop was $1,616,- 000,000. The acreage was more than double that of wheat, and its value a billion dollars greater. In fact, the acreage of corn in 138 was greater than that of all the rest of the cereal erops of the nation taken together; the yield was a full billon bushels greater than the aggregate yleld of all other grains, wnd the American farmer received more for his corn ecrop by nearly half than he recelved for all his other grain crops. If the farmer can get 1 cent a bushel more for his corn his profit is increased $27,000,000. It he can induce his land to grow one bushel more to the acre, he has profited to the extent of pearly $60,000,000 by the operation. By Incressing the yleld per acre of corn vast weaith will be added to the national store, and by enhancing the quality of the yield the farmer can multiply his profits, It is a distressing fact that the figlires for 1908 show an average vield of corn amounting to only 26.2 bushels to! the acre. This is but little larger than the avirage yleld of all the years since the “cloWs of the civil war. While the rest of the world has been making vast strides in produc- tive capacity, the corn farmer has stood still, increasing his acreage at a remarka- ble rate, but giving little attention to in- creasing the yield per acre—the very pivotal point in profitable farming. The corn exposition will seek to remedy this. It will endeavor to show the corn farmer that he may double his crop If he will It will call his attention to the eloquent lesson of New Hampshire, a state cer- tainly far below the average in sofl fer- tility, vet with the highest average of lions that may flow into thelr coffers di- rectly and Indirectly through an en- hanced production of corn, have given thelr ald to the movement by furnishing | the | “Corn Gospel Trains” which carry 800d news of the new evangel of progres- sive farming to all sections. The farmer 1s given object lessons of what may be accomplished by correct methods. For- Instance, he is shown that at a cost of only 6 cents per acre to test the seed he sows, the farmer may vastly increase his har- vest. One striking picture held up to him 1s that of two fields with only a barbed wire fence dividing them. The seed of the one was tested.' That of the other was not. The result in the tested fleld was seventy-seven bushels to the acre, and that in the untested field was thirty-five bushels. All careful students of corn cul- ture agree that the application of scien- tific methods to corn culture through the country might easily be brought up to sixty bushels per acre. At that rate the United States could supply the world with its corn, and have enough left to sub~ stitute every grain of wheat grown on the slobe. The versatility of corn surpasses that of any other grain. At & recent exposition no less than 100 separate and distinct com- mercial products from corn were exhibited. Besides furnishing human food in many forms, and the cup that cheers in many varieties, It ylelds the glucose that con- stitutes the base of dozens of by-pro- ducts, edible and otherwise. It produces dextrin and gums used in sizing and print- ing cloth. It furnishes starch for the table and starch for the laundry. The stalk furnishes fodder for the cattle, cel- lulose for the protection of the vitals of warships and for the making of smoke- less powder. America expects to make much out of its foreign market for corn in the next decade or two. Bastern Asia is becoming inter- ested in corn as & foodstuff, and those who have studied the situation declare that there are not enough ver on the Pacific ocean to carry the vast stores of corn that will be required to meet the demand which may be created in the orient. Furthermore, other parts of the world are becoming interested in this pe- culiarly American product, and while a competitor as a corn-growing nation, it will be many years before it will be a formidable rival. Pellagra, sald to be due to damaged corn used for human food, a disease oc- curring most frequently in Italy and other southern uropean countries, where the corn is of an inferlor quality and where it is Improperly cured. Instead of injuring the export trade in American corn for human consumption, pellagia may increase the demand, since export corn Is usually the best grown on American soll, and can therefore be used with more confidence than the inferior kinds grown In southern Europe.
