gives him many new ideas, makes him a greater student of his farm work 

 and thus, in the end, a better farmer, a stronger citizen, a nobler man. 



One of the immediate results of the work in corn is a series of co- 

 operative experiments planned at the short course school. Prof. Holden 

 purposes to purchase choice seed corn and send to those who have signi- 

 fied their desire to co-operate with him in seeking to establish over the 

 state standard varieties of pure bred corn best adapted to that particular 

 locality. He is seeking to have these experiments carried on in each 

 county in Iowa. It will undoubtedly be of incalculable value to this, one 

 of the leading corn states in the union. Hearty co-operation with Pro- 

 fessors Kennedy and Holden on the part of Iowa farmers in feeding 

 steers and growing corn means added value to the intrinsic worth of our 

 "Hawkeye State."
