STUDENTS TO TEST FARMJEEO CORH Agent Cobb Arranges Program to Be Followed by County Pupils.

To bring home vital points of seed corn testing through school children to the farmers of Wayne connty Agrloultural Agent Cobb will co-operate with the crop improvement committee of the Council of Grain Exchanges of Chicago with a view to obtaining a complete survey of seed corn. Improve the corn conditions in the county. During March Mr. Cpbb's gnhject to school children will be "Seed Corn Testing." Demonstrations will be given by the teachers prior to the county agent's lectures. Wherever it is found practical to take up the work in the schools, the classes will be asked to test a small amount of seed corn for each farmer in the neighborhood desiring the privilege. As it will be Impossible for the school children to test all the seed of each farmer, ten or fifteen representative ears of the supply of each will be given the test. The pupils making the tests will be asked to furnish a report of the results to the farmer and to the county agent. In this manner the farmer will be given an idea of the condition of his seed and the school children will benefit from the testing experience. A statistical report of the seed corn condition of the county will then be compiled by Mr. Cobb who will be able to issue a note of warning to farmers should the germination of the seed be weak. As one ear of corn has about 800 seed grains, each bad ear used in planting means a loss of $6 to the farmer, Mr. Cobb said. Where it is possible, the manual training classes are making the testing boxes. At other places "rag doll" testers will be used.

DESIRE TO ASSIST DESERVING PUPILS Movement has been started among members of the Richmond high school alumni association to help deserving students. Agitators say that many students are compelled to leave high school after the first or second year in order to help support their families. It is with this fact in view that the alumni desires to raise a fund for the assistance of those pupils in order that they may complete their high school education. As a result the high school and Garfield school may consent to place the money realized from the May Festival in the proposed fund.

Blizzard Prevents Farmers Marketing Eggs and Butter

This week's storms which demoralized traffic also played havoc with the markets. Because of the snowbound railroads and country roads the shippers and farmers were unable to transport their products in time for the week end markets. Eggs, a favorite point of increase, are scarce consequently the merchants are at a loss to establish any uniform quotations for the hen fruit. The produce men and farmers have been unable to make connections hence the eggs are still in the coimtry but will be transported as soon as the roads

grape are opened. Many of the retailers of j food stuffs are unable to fill egg ordi ers and a few have a limited supply. The eggs are quoted from 32 to 35

cents a dozen. There seems to be but few changes in the perishable food markets but at the same time there is a general scar

17 Speed Monsters Contest

in Grand Prize SANTA MONICA, Cal.. Feb. 28. Seventeen race monsters are on the Santa Monica course in the 403.248 mile contest in the grand prize race toVlay. Before the race started, William Carlson, a Mason driver, notified the officials that he was compelled to withdraw his car. A (broken crank shaft which could not be repaired, put him out of the race. Teddie Tetzlaff and Harney Oldfield of the Mercer team, the two favorites in the race, were left behind by the leader early in the race. Tetzlaff was driving ahead of the rest on the first lap, but on his second time around was forced to stop at the pit for a new right rear tire. This gave the leadership to Spencer Wishart, the millionaire sportsman who entered the race in a Mercer. By a dangerous piece of driving Tetzlaff sent his Fiat around the curves at full speed and FOUR MINERS HELD ON MURDER CHARGE HOUGHTON. Mich., Feb. 28. Four members of the Western Federation of Miners were placed under arrest this morning on a charge of murdering Thomas Dally and Harry and Arthur Canet, of Painesdale, Dec. 7.

city. Until southern traffic has fully been established there will remain a shortage in the markets. At this time there are limited supplies of lettuce. onions, cauliflower, radishes, etc. The quotations in each case are the same as previous week's prices. Potatoes have jumped a few points Formerly thejT were quoted at $1 a bushel but with the week's tie up in business they raised 5 cents a bushel. The market men, however, do not pre dict that the price will remain at that point more than the remaining days of this week. They are of the opinion that as soon as the weather steadies the price will drop to the former quo tation. Apples of New York stock are now quoted at prices ranging from 50 to 75 cents a peck. These apples are from the best storage of the last fall's crops. Automobile Race let out on straight ways until he was in second place. At the end of the fifth lap the lead ers were Wishard, Tetzlaff Pullen and Anderson. - A few minutes after the race started, Glen Martin sailed his aeroplane out over the course. . . Tetzlaff was 1 minute and 20 sec onds behind Wishard at v4f1ve ' times around. Barney Oldfield, by a sensational series of rushes nosed his Mercer well up among the leaders at the end of the sixth lap. Wishard was still first, Pullen in his Mercer had pulled into second place and Teddie Tetzlaff has wrested third from Gil Anderson at the end of twelve laps. A tire trouble had put Oldfield back of the leader. At this time the most daring race was being driven by Tetzlaff. The track by this time had become covered with a coat of oil and the turns were extremely dangerous.
