A GOOD FARMING Gospel
Being Preached by Railroad President
in

in Iowa.
New HAMPTON, Ia, Mar. President
Stickney of the Chicago and Great West
ern railroad, has inaugurated series of
meetings along the line of his road for
the purpose of advocating more scien-
tific method of farming. He will hold
one or two meetings in all of the i'm
portant towns along the line, which will
be addressed by himself and others who
have had practical experience in the
special crops, such as potatoes.
A meeting was held here today and
addressed by Mr.. II. Hall of Minneapo-
lis. He claims that nearly 100000
bushels of potatoes are imported every
year, and that by a rotation of crops and
the cultivation of potatoes to greater
extent, this deficiency can be made up
along the line of the Great Western road
Mr.. Stickney says he calls it his gospel
of better farming of smaller farms, and
that it will be preached from one end of
the road to the other. They are travel
ing in their special Car and making stops
in all the towns, addressing the farmers
upon the subject.

DFBS MAKES CHARGES.
Says the General Managers Association
Caused the Riots.

CHICAGO, March In speech at the
Auditorium last night President Debs of
the A. R U. made the charge
direct that the General Mana
gers association, through its agents
and emissaries was Immediately re-
sponsible for the rioting and destruction
of property which occurred during the
railroad strike of last summer. The
greater part of the large audience which
listened to Mr.. Debs' charges applauded
them TO the echo.
In conclusion Mr.. Debs said he had
little hope from strikes to help working
men. The only salvation he saw was
for them to cease their fight and unite at
the ballot box to elect good men to office.
He indorsed the third party movement
heartily.
