44 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



Mr. Wallace: I believe that Mr. Delano is right when he 

 states the load of a refrigerator car to be from 22,000 to 24,000. 

 I notice that in the hearing before the Interstate Commerce 

 Commission it was given as 29,000. 



The President : Professor P. G. Holden of the Iowa State 

 College at Ames will now address you on the subject of "How 

 to Increase the Average Yield of Corn Five Bushels per Acre." 



The Professor gave a valuable illustrated talk on the above 

 subject, after which the meeting adjourned. His address and 

 the discussions which followed, were not taken by the reporter, 

 owing to the frequent reference to charts. In lieu of this we 

 publish on the following pages bulletin No. 77, from the Iowa 

 Agriculture College experiment station, on "Selecting and pre- 

 paring of Seed Corn," which is edited by Professor Holden and 

 contains the greater part of the information brought out in his 

 address :
