owa Farmers to
Discuss Smaller
Acreage of Corn
Many Fanners Plan to Rrluru

filenwoo.!, la.. lh: .Kl. (Special.)
-At tlif annual uniting of the Mills
ottnty Farm bmvau at Malvern
mUy, I). N. McOrcw of Kniirson
'dicus the campaign for a corn
rage reduction. Farmer trading

tnVrd to town will go hack to the
tarni. and get along with little h'lp
&nd will pasture more laud, and the
rorn arreage will ho reduced by all
visible operating causes 15 per cent.
Merchants estimate that to improve
business and to give the farmer some
money to spend after paying his
debts, corn must sell for from 55 to
65 cents. One merchant said, "50
cents would unload a lot of corn in
this vicinity and help wonderfully."
Farmen Holding Corn.
York, Neb, Dec. 30. (Special.)
'lie farmers of York county are tak-
g notice of the advice given by N.
Updike, member ot tne corn ueii
fvisory committee of the War Fi-
cc corporation, to hold the corn
in crib and to Cut down tne
for next year unless prices
advanice. Corn will move here if the
price should reach 40 cents a bushel.
A fcW farmers declare they will hold
for 50 cents. Farmers seem to think
it will not pay to let the ground, lie
idle to cut down the corn acreage.
Plan Small Reductions.
Shenandoah, la., Dec. 30. (Spe
cial.) Reducing the Iowa corn acre
age for IVM will not be adopted uni-
rsallv by Iowa farmers, but will be
gulated by individual cases of
rmers in this section of the state.
vcry farmer will reduce his
a small amount, but as there
oblcm as to what to raise in
ot it, there will not De any
acreage reduction. ,
,Vhen farmers reduce their -com
cage considerably they run into
le oroposition ox what to cultivate
in the place of corn," says one Iowa
farmer. V '
"Unless market prices go up there
will be a smaller amount of corn
planted," says the owner of inany
crtile Iowa acres.
"As to holding the corn for high-
prices, all iarmcrs arc doing it
10 have a place to store it ana
re financially able to wait until the
narket improves,", says Howard M.
holmes, district representative of
e J. H. Teasdale Commission com
pany, who buys trom dealers m
owa, Missouri and Nebraska.
"Iti my travels over the state I
have . found that the majority of
farmers regard the reduction of corn
acreage in connection with their
crop , rotation and will depend on
individual cases," says E. L. Quaife,
rojessor of animal husbandry at
few a' State college at Ames. "Iowa
is primarily the corn state and its
principal product shou?l continue to
be the major crop fx r Iowa.' The
farmers, realize they make their
money on corn in the long run and
will continue to grow corn."
Disagree on Plan. " " "
Dec. 30. (Special.)
as to whether, farm
fewer acres to corn
hopes of raising the
ith diversified opinions.
orae think for the farmers to agree
ot to plant as large acreage to
,rn would mean idle land, for there
-;-o other crop they can plant that
f ild make them more money. Oth-
f say what is needed is tor the
,ld markets to be opened and
ght rates reduced. Most farmers
holding on to a part of their
rop hoping to get better prices.
e farmer has three crops of wheat
bins on his farm. Two crops he
uld have sold for $2.50 but kept
for $3.

Ifere is one game that Douglas Fairbanks was beaten at, and, of course,
his alibi was that he is only a beginner. When "Doug" and Mary I'ickford
visited New York recently they were the guests of George McManus, the
famous cartoonist.
Not having' anything else to do they wagered $100 on the luxuriance
of their respective lip-lettuce, and Mary was chosen rcrce. Mary obtained
a rule and after a careful survey set her hubby back $100 when she decided

Presson Approves.
Lincoln, Dec. 30. (Special.) Ne
braska's new seal, as prepared by
the state seal commission created by
the last legislature, is ready. . George
Williams of Fairmont, chairman of
the commission, has submitted the
seal to Governor McKelvie. The
design was by Architect Goodhue .of
New York, who is also architect of
the new capitol.
All the objects in the present seal,
excepting the log cabin, are re
tained, but the river is smaller, one
or two coaches are taken' from the
train and the mounta:ns aren't quite
so prominent.
In the space made by these
changes are displayed three books
representing education, two an
telopes, a buffalo head and golden
rod. The motto, "Equality Before

The seal and also the new state
banner embodying it, do not become
legal unless made so by special leg
islative act. Secretary of States Ams
bcrry has stated that he will refuse
to use the new seal until it has been
so legalized.
Col. J. H. Presson of Lincoln,
leader in the opposition to change
in the wording or spirit of 'the pres
ent Nebraska state seal, declared to
day that after examining the plans
adopted by the seal coqimission he
withdrew all opposition to the
change. .
'My opposition was founded on a
report that the blacksmith, the
wheat, the river, the steamboat and
the wording, 'Equality Before the
Law," were to be stricken from
the new seal," Col. Presson said.
"But I find they are to be retained
and I am satisfied."
