GERMINATION TEST IS URGED Wet Weather, Followed by CoM, Im pair Vitality of Grala Iowa. Ex periments Show Grave Condi- . tlona la la That State. Heavy loss from Imperfect seed threatens tho next Nebraska corn crop. This lostf Is variously estimated from tl0.000.000 to 1S. 800,000. Grain men and agrleulturlsti are generally aware of the situation and urge that the farmers make tests of their seed and take special precaution that the fields hall be painted with fertile and productive grain. The Immediate source of danger to the crop Ilea In the effect that the weather conditions have had upon the grain of the state from which the seed for the spring planting will be chosen. The presence of much moiature through a wet fall and hard winter freesea Is believed to have rendered sterile a ALrge percentage of the grain, making It totally unfit for planting pur poses, or at least so weakening It that the plants reproduced will prove unproductive. The remedy Ilea In germination tests of each ear to be used for seed. The seed growers of the state are now making, or have completed, tests by, which the sterile grain Is eliminated. That but a small per centage of the state's grain Is produced from the stocks of the seed growers signi fies the Importance of this same work by the farmer who grows his own seed. Blar I.oas la Possible. It is estimated that the loss to the state from bad seed could easily reach $15,000,000 on the year's crop. This figure is based on the presumption chat one ear out of every six planted should be bad. It Is said that some of the tests hay shown that In many localities the percentage of bad seed la even higher. Nebraska's corn acreage fpr the last year was 6,500,000. If one-sixth of this land should be rendered Inefficient and practically Idle by planting with Im perfect seed the Inevitable result would be loos of the use .of more than a million acres. ' The lpss, however, would not end there. The cultivation of the fields would cover alike the fertile and the unfertile, hills and' It would .be wasted then by the same rath) In which the crop failed. Students of the situation attribute the conditions existing to both bad weather, which directly affected the year's crop, and a degeneracy in some of the grain Itself While much of the Nebraska corn haa been Improved In quality by breeding In the last few years, many farmers are still HOTELS. f THE Absolutely Fireproof BROADWAY, CORNER OF 29th STREET Moit convenient hotel to all Subways ar.d Depots.

Best Restaurant in Nev York City with Club Breakfast and the world famous "CAFE ELYSEE" NEW-YORK planting In the old-fashioned way with everything they can shell off the cob. Better Granarlea Are Meeded. Better housing of the grain Is urged by the grain dealers of Omaha. The loss to the farmers through exposure to the weather alone ran Into millions on the 1909 crop, "The loss to Nebraska corn through the lack of proper facilities for housing and protecting the crop after It was matured probably averaged not less than 7 or 8 cents a bushel for the whole state," de clared an officer of the Omaha Grain ex change. Tests of the corn of the state of Iowa have just been completed at Ames Agri cultural colege with the result that Prof. P. d. Hblden has declared that the seed Is the worst that the state has evr had. The results of the Iowa test are shown In tabular form: Percentages Section of State. Bad. Weak. Strong. Northern 27 . 12 (SI North central 18 "14 It Bouth Central 21 18 63 Southern 14 15 71 The average of Iowa corn Is probably much below that shown In the table, as the seed tested was from the best In each locality. It Is assumed that If these con ditions exist In. Iowa they are duplicated in some degree in eastern Nebraska at least. The seed corn of western Nebraska because of the dryer climate Is likelyf to have escaped something of the damage that was sustained In the damper eastern section. .

RETTJENS FROM CAPITAL ZEALOUS Advises Omaha Men to Take Stock In the Company Formed by Kan sas City Men Boon to Operate. E. J. McVann, secretary of the traffic bureau of the Commercial club, who ha returned from Washington where he went In connection with some rate cases and who heard the arguments advanced by the Kansas City boosters for an appropriation for the Missouri river improvements, has sent some recommendations and observa tions to the executive committee of the Commercial club. ; Mr. McVann recommends activity on the part of the Commercial club if Omaha Is to receive aoy advantages from the money which la to be spent by Uncle Sam In Im proving the Missouri.' The rivers and har bors committee of the house has recom mended an expenditure of .$1,000,000 a. year for ten years on the Missouri from Kansas City to 8U Louis. Some time ago the Com mercial deb waa active in Its efforts to se cure river Improvements, but of late the EESHE EES Toothache stops immediately if you use SIMM WIMEOT Priemm, SOe., ftmd 41. OO. LI special committee of the club having the matter in charge has done nothing. The impression gained by Mr. McVann Is that Kansas City expects to have a boat line In operation this summer, and when boats once get to navigating the stream, it will be up to the government to keep the channel clear so the boats may get through. Kansas City has raised $660,000 for a boat line and will raise more money to buy more boats. Omaha business men are urged to take stock in the Kansas City project in the hope that the. boat lines may be ex tended to Omaha and in this way an inter est shown by Omaha In havlhg the river Improved from Kansas City to Omaha, as well as -on- to St. Louis. The recommendations of Mr. McVann will be taken up by the executive com mittee at its regular meeting Tuesday. , .

For sula by Beaton Drug C Health Office Aroused Over , , Wetzel Case Dr. Connell Irate at Defiance of Law in Removal by Omaha General Hospital of Body from State, Trouble seems to be ahead for the people responsible for the removal of the body of Alva Wetzel, the patient who jumped from a window at the Omaha General hospital, to Council Bluffs without the formality of securing a permit from the health de partment of Omaha. ' The law Is specific and very stringent on this subject. Nobody can be removed from this city or stale. , legally, without such a permit. The application ' to the health department for a removal permit mutt declare the cause of death and set out all the particulars surrounding the case. This Important formality was Ignored In the Wetzel case and Health Commissioner Connell wants to know the reason,, If any exists. Usually the undertaker or the hospital. If the death occurs at such an Institution, Is careful to Inform, the health office of all circumstances surrounding a case of this kind. Why no disposition was shown to comply with the plain provisions of the law Is what Health Commissioner Connell wants to know. That the body has been brought back does not, in the view of the official charged, with the keeping of vital statistics, excuse the perpetrators of the scheme to hurry the body out of Nebraska without notify ing either the coroner or tho health office. Whether prosecution will result In the case of those responsible In this Instance is a matter now receiving serious consideration.
