BURLINGTON CORN
SPLENDID MEETINGS AT CORNING
AND SIDNEY—SPEAKER TELLS
OF $100 LAND.
Corning, March 29.—A striking ex
ample of the remarkable development
in values of Iowa farm land was pre
sented in the appearance here of the
Burlington seed corn and soil special
train which has as itp mission the urg
ing of farmers to waste no land on
bad seed and to exercise modern meth
ods in conserving the fertility of the
soil. This is because land has reach
ed the
$100
per acre value and scien­
tific methods must be applied to make
th^ investment profitable.
The importance of land values 'Was
accentuated by' the presence on the
train of K. H. Hunter of Des Moines,,
Bpecial agent for the Burlington rail
road, who formerly llVed at this place.
Mr. Hunter had the distinction of be
ing receiver for the famous Icarlan
community here when the court order
ed it sold out twenty-seven years ago.
The land was then sold for $14 per
acre, and but a few years before that
had been bought for little over a dol
lar an acre l?y the Frenchmen who
came here to establish an ideal com
munity of interests. So within the
last half century the land has jumped
in value from one to one hundred
dollars pet acre.
The Corning meeting was the con
clusion of tne second day's itinerary
of the corn special. The train, carry
ing exports from the state agricultural
college, will be out for two weeks,
practically covering the territory in
southern Iowa.
Heart to Heart Talks at Sidney.
Sidney, March 29.—Heart to heart
talks by agricultural experts to over
three thousand farmers of southern
Iowa were held today from the Bur
lington seed corn and soil special
train, now on a two week's itinerary
over the Burlington system in Iowa.
Farmers from the surrounding terri
tcry of seven towns turned anxious
ears to the words of advise offered
and listened to discussion of seed corn
tests that have already been made
irom corn in this territory. The tests
develop that, not Over fifty-one per cent
is fit to plant as the remainder is
either entirely dead cr germinates
very poorly. Experience during the
past several years has made the farm
ers apt students and they are taking
seriously to the problem of increasing
the productiveness of their soil and in
maintaining it. Prof. H. A. Mauser,
one of the principal speakers of the
State Agricultural college corps can
not be accused of being a rhetorical
farmer. He owns and operates a farm
of his own in Marshall county and is
able to answer every question concern
ing practical farming that has been
asked of him.
Miss Clara Cowgill, county superin
tendent of Montgomery county, joined
the seed corn special at Villisca and
rode with the party to Red Oak, secur
ing information from the agricultural
experts for use in connection with the
agricultural teaching she has started
and encouraged in the country schools
of her county. Already she has asked
every student in the county to test
ten ears of corn for use in planting on
their parents' farms this spring.
Prof. Johnson Reelected.
Centerville, March 29.—At the an
nual meeting of the board of education,
Prof. C. J. Johnson was unanimously
elected superintendent of the local
schools for the fourth consecutive year.

zation of the association was the
declaration of the delegates who are
leaving for their homes today,
Edwin Gruhl of Madison, Wis., sta
tictlcian for the Wisconsin railroad
commission, delivered the closing ad
dress to the delegates. He explained
the workings of the accounting sys
tem used by the commission in its
government of the telephone com

Wisconsin system of accounting has
done away with the watering of stock
He gave a practical explanation of the
plans and methods used by the com
mission. He declared that many re
forms have resulted from the public
utilities law under which the commis
sion is working.
It was not decided where the con
vention will be held next year, but
Des Moines is favored because of its
location according to the delegates.
