The proposition of the Universal

machine company, was present and
outlined the proposition. He stated
that Improvements had been made to

make the working of the machine per
fect and satisfactory in every respect.
These improvements will be placed
on the machines now in possession of
the city free of cost. He said that the
company in addition to the bond al
ready furnished would give another
bond for $4,000 and agree that if at
any time during the seven years, the
machines were found to be not up to
contract and satisfactory, to repay all
money paid by the city with interest,
also to pay .all costs and expenses to
the city, resulting from the machines
not working properly.

ADVIS^S REPLANTING.
Director of Iowa Crop Service Says It
Is Not Too Late.
"If I should find that 60 per cent of
my corn crop needs replanting I should
not hesitate to replant it right away
sa,ya J.R. Sage cf-the Iowa Crop Ser
vice.
"Last year we had some excellent
corn from seed~ that was planted as
late as the 5th of June. Hence there
is time enough yet for farmers to
realize good outputs from their corn
acreage."
Mr, Sage believes that while the
acreage this year will be somewhat
less than usual, that fact is duo as
much to poor seed corn as to weather
conditions. The farmer who planted
only the best of selected and test seed
corn has not as much replanting to do
as the farmer who neglected this im
portant pre-inspection.
Undoubtedly there will be some land
in Iowa this year that will stand idis
because of farmers becoming discour
aged over the bad results of the first
planting, but Mr. Sage thinks this will
lot be large. A portion of it may bo
planted in millet or some similar crop.
