CHICAGO-DENVER LINE BENEFITS
Heavy Expenditure Promised for the
Omaha-Fulrhnry Stretch by Offi
cials of Rand In Omaha for
Conference? Wednesday.
Several hundred thousand dollars will be
expended on the Chicago-Denver line of
the Roek Island during the coming sum
mer. Including a heavy outlay for rock and
burnt clay ballHstlng on the road between
Omaha and Fairbury.
This announcement comes from a con
ference held In this city Wednesday of
prominent Rock Island officials. Those
present at the meeting were C. W. Jones
of Des Moines, general superintendent; A.
P. Abbott of Des Moines, division superin
tendent; C. L. Brown of Fairbury, division
superintendent; J. J. Brehaney of Fair
bury, roadmaster, and J. M. Brown of
Davenport, division engineer.
After a business conference and lunch
eon In Omaha the party went to Lincoln
and later to Fairbury. Mr. Jones, the gen
eral superintendent and J. M. Brown, the
division engineer will proceed over the
lines west to Denver.
"One of the biggest Improvements to be
undertaken this spring and summer will
be the entire reballasting of the roadbed
in Nebraska," said Mr. Brown. "The
quarries at Clay Center, Kan., are now
bolng worked day and night turning out
crushed stone and burnt clay for us. This
will mean an enormous expenditure.
By April 1 we shull have the entire line
between Chicago and Council Bluffs under
the complete automatic block system.
Electricians are now working west of At
lantic, la., and are making good progress."
Regarding the proposed cut-off from At
lantic to Council Bluffs, which would les
sen the distance to Chicago about twenty
miles and reduce the running time of
trains between Omaha and the Windy City
(about forty-five minutes, by. doing away
with several long grades, one of the offi
cials said that surveys had been completed
and that plans for the cut-off were under
consideration.
"The building of the cut-off would give
us a great advantage in the passenger
service particularly," he said. "However,
If it is built it will not mean the sidetrack
ing of tho small towns in Selby county,
for w would still operate that line."
Convict's Genius
May Win Freedom
Prisoner at Lincoln Invents Aero
plane and Warden Recommends
a Parole for Man.
A convict in the state penitentiary at
Lincoln has invented an aeroplane which
is described as "a model of mechanism"
by Warden T. W. Smith ln a letter to
Judge Lee Estelle. Mr. Smith recommends
the paroling of the convict, whose name Is
W. W. Howard and who la serving a term
for obtaining money under false pretenses.
Howard took a round-about-way to en
list aid ln getting out of prison, lie comes
from Fairbury and, reading one day that
a Fairbury man who he knew was visiting
ln SL Louis, he wrote there. The visitor
in St. Louis, where Howard himself once
lived, wrote Judge Kslelle, who, In turn,
auked the warden what kind ot prisoner
Howard la.
"Excellent," replied the official, who
then went on to tell of several inventions
by Howard, the aeroplane being one.
Patents have been obtained for these.
"I'll help parole llowayd," mild Judga
Estelle, "If anyone can be found who will
act as his guardian." '
Howard seems to have been a roving
character. He lived in St. Louis for a
time, going thence to California. From
that atatc he went to Minnesota to live
and thence came to Nebraska, where he
got into trouble.

As for the habit Itself it la said to have
been begun by a alrange Italian, Luigl
Tarislo, who, in the beginning of the
eighties, scoured the towns and villages
of Italy, and succeeded In obtaining a
large number of Instruments of the best
makes, which he brought to England,

One of the last remaining strongholds
of the band-made violin Is to be found in
the little village of Markneuklrchen, In
Saxony. Here generations of violin makers
have been at work, and those of today use
the same benches and live In the same
houses as did their ancestors. Here Is to
be found the "modern Stradlvarlus," the
best maker there, who lias received a deeo-
ration from the king of Saxony. Inac-
cesslble and quaint as it Is, Markneu-
klrchen la In some respects modern. A
nw bueiness is' done with the outside
world, and many dealers partly supply
their market from this source. Other
marks of progress which are manifested
ar, the reading of American technical Jour-
naig, and the rendition ot Sousa's compo-

town affords. -

More meat to Increase the
Harvests.
The Commerclsl club s corn seed tester
has begun its part In this crusade for
purer kernels as a means of Increasing
the harvets In Nebraska The farmers are
taking hold of the movement and are send
ing much sced(to be tested.
Farmers may test their own corn by
securing germination boxes at home. The
rules' for a germinating box are simple.
Secure any box about two by three feet
aquare with a depth of six Inchea or more.
Fill half full of wet soil or sand or saw
dust. Rule off a piece of cloth In checkerboard
fashlnn with one and one-half-lnch squares
and lay this cloth over the dirt or sand or
sawdust. Number the squares and lay out
the corn to be tested according to the
numbers. Take alx kernels of corn from
different parts of the ear and place the
alx kernels on each aquare. Lay another
cloth over the grain and cover with two
or three Inches of moist soil. Keep the
box ln a warm place where lt will not
freese for from four to six daya, until
the corn begins to germinate. One box
should test enough corn to plant twenty
acres.
When the corn does not sprout It Is
surely not fit to plant To go further it Is
necessary to pick out the com for seed
which shows tho best root system. Some
corn will sprout upward, but will have no
root system.
E. G. Montgomery, head of the experi
mental agromomy department at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, who has been looking
Into the matter of seed corn ln Nebraska,
says the conditions seem to be especially
bad ln the northeastern part of the state.
He says the corn was generally frosen
too early by the October freese this year
and In ths southern part of the state the
growth of the corn was cut short by the
summor drouth.
Bankers Take Ip the Fight.
Omaha and South Omaha bankers have
taken up the crusade. They have sent These
letters to bankers of all towns ln the state
together with enclosures telling how to
test sped corn:

OMAHA. FeV K.'-Gentlemeni According
to the bcBt authorities and those who have
made hundreds of tests of the seed corn
which Nebraska farmers Intend to plant
this year, not one-half of It Is fit to put
Into the ground. It will not grow; that
which sDrouts has no roots.
Think what this means to the farmers of
this state, who plant 6.M0.000 acres of corn
and only a small number test the seed.
One ear contains about 1,000 kernels. Each
kernel should produce one stalk, each stalk
an ear. A dead ear planted means ths loss
of 1.000 ears, twelve and one-half bushels
of corn.
Apparently It la going to take the com
bined efforts ol every banker, Implement
dealer, grain buyer and newspaper man
In the stats to get the farmers to test
their seed corn this year. Unlees such a
campaign begins at once and Is carried
on up to the last moment the corn will not
be tested.
While some farmers laugh at tho Idea of
a corn crop failure in Nebraska, It is a fact
that Nebraska faces Just such a situation.
Farmers do not know the true condition of
their seed corn. Investigation shows even
that hung away last fall was not matured
sufficiently It has not strong germinating
paw or right now.
Anyway It can be figured the planting of
untested need menas an enormous loss the
same as reducing the acreage of the .state
at least 1,075,000 acres or a failure to pro
duco from 27,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels of
corn.
The country newspapers are to be sup
plied with the most authoritative state
ments about the situation and with a short
article telling how to test seed corn. Some
of tills material may not be used unless
the editor is Interested. If possible have
a talk with tho publishers of your papers
and get them to publish this material.
There Is only time in the next thirty days
to get the farmers Interested and get them
to test their seed corn. This is an oppor
tunity to do some neronal work and
greatly Increase the wealth of Nebraska
in fact, save the state from enormous loss
