. S GORN TESTS MAKES GREAT INCREASE Prof. Holden Tells of Great Gninl Over Preceding Years by Seed Selection, HERE FOR DEALERS' MEETING When a field of corn raises eleven bushels more per acre than it ever did before, just because the seed corn was scientifically tested and se- lected, the farmer looks up and takes keen motice, Prof. P. G. Holden, the “Corn King" of the United States formerly professor in the lowa Agricultural college at Ames, now head of the agricultural extension department of the International Harvester com- pany, made such a test for the plant® ing of a field of 8,000 acres. He told of this test and a lot of other interesting things about seed testing be- fore a lot of implement men and district managers of the International Harves- ter company at the company's plant in Omaha Monday. He is here to give a geries of lectures yesterdny and today 1o the International Harvester company men, to any implement men that care 10 hear the lectures, and to any farmers that are interested Cost Per Bushel, The particular test on the S0M-acre field of which Prof. Holden spoke cost less than $1 a bushel. That is the corn and labor combined cost less than $1 a buehel. The total cost of making the test was $1,000. That fielg yielded eleven bushels more per acre than it had ever been known to vield before, or a total excess over for- met yiélds of $8,00 bushels. That means that the §,000-field yielded $7,15 more for the test than it would have normally had no test been made. Prof. Holden gives these facts and lets men draw their own conclusions, About 150 men, salesmen, district man- agers, implement men and others inter- ested in grain vield, attended the lecture. The professor declared that the early freeze the last year had hurt the corn for seed purposes and that if good crops are to be had next vear tests must be | carefully made before the corn is planted this year. “Test, don't guess,” is his slogan. Lectures in the South. Prof. Holden has just completed a campaign of lectures and work advocating diversified farming covering seventy counties in Tennessee, Arkansas and Missiesippi, where he has done much to convince the cotton planters that they must diversify their less upon cotton alone, General agents and general managers of the International Harvester company are In at this time for these meetings as follows: L. B. Rees, southwestern dis- trict manager; A. B. Coleman, northwest- ern' district manager; A. H. Rice, sales manager, American Seeding Machine company; C. E. Haynle, Kansas City; Ralph Johneon, Lincoln; R. P. Kilbourne, Sioux City; L. L. Lease, Crawford, Neb.; B. B. Reppert, Council Bluffs. They ar: here for the Midwest Implement Deal- ers’ assoclation convention. Prof. Holden will lecture at intervals from 8 in the morning un®l 6 in the evening and from 7 to 9 at night. Heavy Snow in the Mountains Delays the Through Trains Unlon Pacific main line trains that have been twelve to twenty-four noirs late on account of the snow blockade un the Southern Pacific in the vicinity of Reno, Nev., and Truckee, Cal., are be- #inning to arrive. No. 2 of Sunday came In at 2 Monday afternoon and Nos. 8 and 20, all through trains from the Pacific coast, will be in later. East of Battle Mbuntain, Nev., there has been no trouble, but west of there through the mountains and down into the head of the Sacramento valley, the snowstorm of last week is reported to have been the worst in years. It is as- #erted that in many places along the line of the Southern Pacific in Nevada and eastern California, snow fell to a depth of three feet, followed by intense cold. As a result numerous trains were showed in and travel to California was diverted over the Salt Lake route, Jt is understood that the storm in Nevada ceased Saturday night and by late tonight the line will be cleared all the y from Salt Lake City through to the coast.

Work of the committee will be to safeguard labor's interests in legislation, to disseminate information through news agencles, to provide lecturers and speakers where de- mand for them exists, and to generally endeavor to create a better understand- a more friendly feeling towards the labor unions, After a general discussion of the topic in its several bearings, a motion was | ndopted instructing the executive board | of the Central Labor union to formulate a report to be made to the body Friday | evening.

Numerous thefts of overcoats, auto robes and other warm clothing and cover- ings are belng reported to the police.

SEVENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT One year ago | stated that the European war would not have any material effect on our Company, notwithe 1 now confirm that statement by facts based on experience that includes twelve added months of war. In life insurance the financial effect of mortality is expressed by the per cent, which the total actual death losses of the year hear to the expected denth losses according to the tables of mortality adopted by the state for viluas (disrregarding fractions) has been as follows:— (3 months 409 members of the Company were killed in war 448 members of the Company were killed by accident 707 members of the Company died of cancer 772 members of the Company died of pneumonia 950 members of the Company died of tuberculosis y and its unnecessary slaughter, the war, even while it is being prosecuted, amongst a membership that is also world-wide, Is about— of that caused by accident in the same membership cer in the same membership % of that caused by pneumonia in the same membership of that caused by tuberculosis in the same membership, Electricity, steam, aud the partial conquest of the air, have made the world War under such conditions takes its toll impartially, and in these days the nation which is an “innocent bystander" suffers proportionately with the whole of civilization. It is interesting to notice that this Company had, in seventeen months, war losses from seventeen countries, and that what may be called AMERICAN LOSSES exceed those of any belligerent country except in two instances: ) Only in T'rance and Germany have the totals exceeded those of our own country.
