That the Cedar Valley short course is assured for 1910 is certain by the fact that up to noon today 175 men have enrolled for next year and it is that by evening, the number expected, 200. That Black Hawk county will have a permanent experiment station is also certain if the unanimous vote of the men of the short course avails, and if the committee appointed yesterday afternoon succeeds in carrying out the desires of the farmers of the county.

One member of the board of supervisors is on the committee and all appointed to act are enthusiastic regarding the idea of having a permanent experiment station on the county farm near Waterloo. The committee is made up of the following representative farmers and business men of Black Hawk county: George F. Johnson, Lincoln, ber of board of supervisors. Charles F. Robe, Jesup.

County Experiment Stations. The county experiment station plan was explained in interesting manner yesterday afternoon by A. E. Nelson, who is head of the county experiment station work which is being conducted by the Iowa State College through Iowa. This work has been carried on for four years and the good results obtainin the twenty counties which secured stations have out of the 99 counties of the state to ask for them.

The college authorities prefer to have the stations in counties where short courses are held and for that reason, Black Hawk county will be favored if the supervisors permit the small expenditure necessary to carry on the work. During this year, twelve counties have had experiment stations, Delaware, Marshall, Page, Montgomery, Linn, Pottawattamie, Sioux. Clay, PUBLIC SPEAKER Advises Postum Instead of Coffee. Some people think they must have a cup of coffee or tea before attempting any special work, some want it afterwards. The same harmful effects of the coffee poison--caffeine--are sooner or later made manifest in either case.

"As a public speaker" writes Penna. man, "I had been in the habit of drinking a cup of coffee after my evening's work. "My nights were nearly always restless, or when I did sleep I would awake with a heavy, dull feeling and every movement became an effort." (Reaction of the coffee poison.) "My nervous system eventually became so unstrung that I was obliged to place myself under the care of a physician. doctor advised me to give up coffee and drink Postum, which I did. Postum not only assures me a good night's sleep but nourishes the system.

I have used it for a year and have taken great pleasure in inducing several families in our neighborhood to use Postum instead of coffee. neighbor, a highstrung, nervous woman who had drank coffee all her life, frequently had attacks of stomach trouble from which she suffered untold agonies. Since she dropped coffee and has been drinking Postum she is in good health. "A young man who had been used to coffee three times a day, found his nervous system for something stronger. He use spiritous calling, liquors and was on the down grade.

"He finally decided to stop coffee and alcoholic beverages and drink Postum. Not being made right at first. he did not like it. but when I showed him how to make it--boll it 15 minutes, he liked it. "This young man is now prosperous, healthy and of good habits.

He believes Postum saved him from becoming a drunkard." Name given by Postum Battle Creek. Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs. "There's a ReaSOT Ever read the above letter? new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human Interest.

The farms are conducted under the auspices of the agricultural extension department of the college Ames and the supervisors are furnished from there. The department sends men to plant the corn, count the stand and harvest the crop. The only expense to the county beside money and land set aside is cost of four account books in which to keep a record of the field, the vise the work and local help transportation of the men to farm.

The men come from the college only three or four times a season and a few helpers can do the necessary work. Various Valuable Tests. statononnection with valuable the tests experiment are made. The first is the farmers' variety test, which is made to determine the reason for the extreme difference in yield between the of two farmers whose soil crops. same and whose corn is raised under seemingly identical conditions.

Men from the college drive over the farming districts of the county and secure from farmers, samples from their planter boxes of seed used by them. A record is taken from each farmer of how much corn he plants, the variety of the corn, whether it is tested, where he bought it. This forms a tracer to determine the pedigree of the corn. Four plantings are made of 75 samples in spaces, 8 hills square. When it grows, an average is taken of the proportion raised from each and a record is kept.

The individual ear test is a second experiment carried on at the station. Forty ears of corn from 3 farmers are secured. All are tagged, weighed and their measurements taken. These are planted in a number of rows, 16 hills long and each kind in four different places. Some corn is found to yield 106-7 bushels an acre: another falls as low as 20.

In Clay county this year, where the highest of the county was 84 bushels an acre, the lowest was 7.2 bushels, a marked extreme. Some ears are found to produce high on the stalk and mature late, others grow very low having small ears well matured but hard to pick. It is found that the common corn growing four feet from the ground is best and so this seed is preserved to be sold and used the next year. Another test is that for thickness of planting. It is impossible for anyone to tell positively how thick to plant corn for it depends upon the richness of the soil and other conditions.

Planting too thickly results in barren stalks which are no better than weeds in the field. Experiments in sixteen counties made during four years shows that three and one-half kernels to a hill bring the best results. Another of the interesting tests is called the introduced variety test. This is carried on by securing a variety of corn from other states and from fitteen parts of Iowa and experimenting in its planting. It is that corn moved from the north the south found, does not produce well while that moved north, does not mature and is soggy in the fall.

The conclusion to be drawn is that the corn raised at home yields on an average 10.2 more to the acre than that introduced from without. When the summer's work is ended, the seeds are sorted and marked as seed corn, nubbins or worthless ears and cared for accordingly. Farmers' Picnic. In connection with the experiment station, a farmers' picnic is usually held in August in charge of the board of supervisors and generously advertised. The people of the county come to visit the farm, see the plots and there is usually some one from the college to give a talk, a picnic dinner being a feature of the day.

Mack. Nuptial Celebration at Elkhart, Home of Young People.

Tom Searles, idol of the Waterloo fans and backstop of the championship team of the Central association, is no longer a bachelor. The following from the Elkhart Review gives a brief account of the change of condition of the peerless catcher from single blessedness to double bliss: "Tom Searles and Miss Verna W. Mack were married Saturday afternoon, Feb. 13., by the Rev. Cleaver.

Mr. Searles is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. M.

Searles of Simonton street, (Elkhart, Ind.) and is a professional ball player. The bride is chief tool operator for the Bell Telephone, company." TOMMY SEARLES, Whose Marriage Is Just Reported in Waterloo. When negotiations were under way to have Tom Searles. or "Tommy" as he is more frequently called in this city, to return here, the catcher very quietly asked for a modest raise in salary and without foreknowledge of company events Manager Boyle very willingly gave the desired advance in salary. The manager is inclined to congratulate himself since he learned of the protentious step taken by Mr.

Searles and doubtless if conditions had been known Mr. Searles could have had the whole treasury of the Waterloo Base Ball association. This is just to show the high regard in which Tommy is held in this city. The friends of Mr. Searles in this city and all around the circuit will join the Courier in a wish that the young people may have a long life and a prosperous one.
