The first step in the direction- of securing a change lb' the' Iowa irietuod of adopting freight rates Waa taken today by the nltng In the office of the state railroad commis sioners of the petition of Jobbers and manu facture of Keokuk, for a, change In the Iowa rates an ' .distances from lit) to HM miles.

The changes vary greatly, tor in. stance, on first class freight the changea asked are the following on some distances On 110 miles, from 25.S to 2LS cents; on luu miles, from B to 21 cents; on too miles. from (6 to- 40 cants. Other distances and other classes of freight are to be reduced correspondingly. The petitioners ask that thea reductions be made on long distance freight only and state that the rates on Short distance freight are satisfactory. The jobbers in the interior cities of the state have taken up the challenge of the Jobbers long the Mississippi river" and are already prdparing protests, The bearing, if there la one, will bring' out the fact that It Is merely a fight between Jobbers along the Mississippi river baaing point of the freight association to get an advantage over the Jobbers at thj Interior points.' If the long distance ratea are reduced they will be able t. cover, the whole .state Instead of being confined, as are the Interior Jobbers, td the territory' Immediately adjacent to their towns.

CORN IMPROVEMENT CVtR LAST YEAR la Qaallty aad Aetaail Commercial Valae It la Coasldered at Least Tweaty Per Oat Better Tkss That of 1903.' DES MOINES, Dec. 15. (Special.) Much Interest la taken In a comprehensive sum mary of crop reports from correspondents of the Iowa weather and crop service, showing the average yield per acre and totals of staple soil products, and the aver Age prices at the farms or nearest stations December 1, 1903. In this showing of the value of the season's output bf grain. forage, etc., no reckoning Is made of the in crement In value gained by consumption of oil products on the farms In the produc tion of beef, pork, mutton, horses, butter, poultry, eggs. etc. Usually the prices ob tainable for the crops at the close of the season do not express more than two thirds of the actual value of the staple products of the soil. The Corn Crop In estimating th output of this crop, the most difficult problem Is to determine the extent of loss of ac.reaae caused by floods and adverse weather con- anions in the season of planting and cum rating. As a result of inquiry and careful computation. It appears that the com area actually cultivated and harvested this Son Is approximately 7.398.S20 acres. The re turns of township assessors show that the area planted in 1902 was 8,926.068 acres, and ny comparison It Is shown that the reduc tlon this eeason amounted to about L62S. 748 acres. The average yield per acre for the state this year waa thirty-one bushels, and the Bcirreante product Is estimated at 230.511.20 bushels. The average farm pri- on December 1 was SO cents per ousnel. making the aggregate value t8t.W4.071. Last vear the product was much inferior In nunlHv. thouah much larger In amount, and the value was computed at 283.000,000. The yearly average for thirteen years has been $i.B33.onn.
