The "Nem Eanoled, Farmer.

Secretary of Agriculture James VIII
son says the old fashioned farmer can
not win against the scientific agflcul-
turist of the near future.
There is a new era in store for the
farmers of the United States. and
those of New York and the Mississippi
valley In particular. 1t will be the new
fashioned farmer who will bring 1t
about He is the Moses of modern agri-
culture.
The farmer of the future said MI.
Wilson, must be practical scientist.
The man who does not understand the
science OF the soil has no business ON
the farm. II the boy wants to be a
farmer it is just as necessary that he
take a course at an agricultural college
as it is to the boy who wants to be a
Wyer, a doctor, or preacher, TO nave
a university education
There is no lesson ITS good as an OBJ
ject lesson. The boy who sees expert
ments in dairying carried on from DAY
to day, knows when he sees the result
how it all came about-and 1t is not
because some one else told him 1T was
Tins and So He knows the science or
dairving and has been taught 1t IN the
most practical way. The dairy farmer
of the United States is going to be q
great factor in the near future. lie Is
a factor at present to be sure, but noun
ing to what he Will be. and l Will tell
YOU why-because we have learned the
secret of Denbark's butter and cheese
keeping so well in tropical climates.
1T is in everything the farmer has to
cultivate and grow that the reason Tor
his being an. agricultural scientist Is
fonnd. If he knows the reason why
things don't grow or do grow, or his
crops are large or small, he gains
wisdom that will help him to increase
his crons the next year, and to make his
income greater
THE scientific farmer has a better
chance OF making a big income than
any farmer ever had. But the man
who insists on following the old fash
toned methods of never learning any
thing that his father did not know is
going to have trouble to make both
ends meet.
There is no place that the farmer
needs to apply scientific methods more
than out west where they irrigate land.
am going to have the matter looked
into. Hundreds of acres of fine land
are being ruined because the men VINO
irrigate them do not understand the
scientific facts about it. They let too
much water run on the land, this brings
the alkaH to the surface and the result
is that there is no use trying to grow
anything. Now, what should be done
is to study the science of the soil 50
as to know how to apply the water
and in what quantity. If scientific
reasoning had been employed in the be-
ginning this land would not have been
comparatively worthless today,
The new fashioned farmer, the sci
entific farmer, must study the feed
ing of cattle. Not Il pound of cotton
seed was fed to the 100000 cattle w,
exported last year, altho the south
raised 100000 tons of it. That cotton
seed was mostly wasted or made fer
tiiZer OF. Think what it might have
to if it had been fed to beef
cattle. The trouble with the farmer Is
that he don't know how to make the
best of what he has got, and he has
got to learn the science of agriculture

Intelligent Tree Planting.
TWaterloo Courier.1

Even superficial study of forestry
will prove of advantage to our farmers
most OF whom now appreciate the ne
cessity of and the profit that will ac-
crue from the intelligent planting and
care of trees. There are many thou
sands of uncnltivated and barren acres
of land in Iowa that could be devoted
to forest culture with the certainty OF
ultimate profit, and that easily within
the lifetime of any given person. The
planting Of the catalpa will be found to
be one of the most remunerative species
for cultivation, on account of the mill
lions of catalpa ties that are annually
used by the railways of the country,
they being unable to secure an ade-
quate supply. To provide 1t the COM

PRESERVE THE EARLY HISTORY.

Many of the most interesting facts
md incidents of Marshall county's ear
" settlement are still tradition, banded
from tongue to tongue, to be finally ioss
unless it shall be put in shape to pc
come history. The enjoyable stories OF
the cid pioneer days referred TO by the
principal speaker at the old settlers
meeting yesterday must die with those
who related them unless they are gath
cred up and preserved.
In this connection the Council Bluffs
Nonparell makes the excellent editorial
suggestion that every old settlers So
riety In Iowa should make itself his
torical society as well. There Is an
abundance of historical material that
should be gathered and preserved and
no one is better qualified to do this
than the pioneers who helped make the
early history of our state. They should
seek out every important manuscript or
document that has to do with the es-
tablishment of government and civilf-
ration in this once frontier country, and
put them where they may be preserved;
In addition the facts and incidents that
are now treasured In the memory
should be put in permanent form 10
make the record complete.
''1she time to do this is not next year,
but now. Every passing twelvemonth
makes it more difficult to gather to-
gether the odds and ends of infor,na-
ton that are essential for complete
historical record. Manuscripts and
documents become lost and memories
grow dim; but more important still, the
men and women who We're parts OF the
sarly history Of Iowa are rapidly drop
ping off one by one and with them dis
appears Information they happen to
have. It is difficult even now to get
ut all the facts and incidents Of the
FIRST settlement of this section of the
state: II will be tremendously more diff
ficult in another year or two. The old
settlers Of southwestern Iowa will do
posterity a great favor If they will be-.
gin at once to preserve the material
they may gather and put into perma-
nent form their valued memories of
early days"

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Carroll Herald thinks that
stand pat has marked significance In
other games than politics, and did not
originate in the Republican or the
EaWkeye office" The Herald says 1T
lis what one would call in botany a
sport, its origin and vitality in cur
rent political parlance are difficult of
explanation"
Public spirit individual pride in the
town in which you live is declared by
the New Sharon Star to be "a mighty
good thing to have around. That sort
Of spirit advances the value of proper
", makes homes more pleasant the
people happier. The crap who never
improves his own property and kicks
every time anybody else undertakes to
do anything is simply load on the
hands of his neighbors. a sort of use
less wart on the public body"
Noting that Jerry Sullivan, demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Iowa,
declares that he is going to poll Dig
vote this year and that there are some
election surprises in store for the re-
publicans of the Hawkeye state, the
Fairfield Ledger says: The demo-
cratic party has been kept alive by
rainbow chasers like Jerry Sullivan"
what shame the chronic liar, the
pessimist and the knociser' don't have
an age limit at which they must re-
tire" axclaims the Boone Republican.
"There never has been the shadow of
a show fer any Iowan to get second
place on the ticket" says the Daven-
port Democrat. AS to first place, Sen
ator Allison has been turned down in
three national republican conventions.
For the purposes of talk it may as well
be LATE Young as anybody. He has
always been in favor of the old flag and
an appropriation"
The Iowa City Republican supports
the Waterloo Courier in its protests
against the undignified scramble for
Judge Shiras' shoes. "The appointment
is for life" says the Republican, and
it would seem that rushing over the
state for endorsements, urging news
papers to advocate the claims of par
ticular persons and beseeching the con-
gressmen for help is out of keeping
with the dignity of the position
The Oskaloosa Times journal says:

republ!canism grows more and more in
tense and advises the unterritied that
now is the time for democrats to stand

The Keokuk Gate City observes
symptoms of unpleasaEtness between
the Cedar Rapids Republican and the
Marshalltown paper of the same name
with Times" prefix. The bone of
contention is the railroad assessment
past and present, and some rather plain
and pointed language is being used on
both sides. When two such adopts are
engaged it is a good time for every
body else to keep at q safe distance.
This is the Notwithstanding time of the

A Chance for the Bows

Farmers i'll the northwest are short

reau OF plant Industry of the agrcul-
tural department at Washington, which
will be the means of materially adding
TO their income by teaching them how
to collect and cure certain common
plants, and Weeds in which occur crude
drugs suitable for the markets.
There are a number of plants in the
northwest which furnish crude drugs
now imported from Europe and else
where, and the department feels thar
there is no reason why the farmers
residing in this section of the country
should not be acquainted with the value
of such plants, and with the manner of
collecting and curing them for the
market
To this end farmers bulletin will
shortly appear containing descriptions
and cuts of the drug producing plants,
with directions for handling them.
In addition TO tiris the department
seeks to bring the respective collector
in touch with buyers. Circular letters
are being sent out to drug dealers no.

partment and asking them If they wish

may write to the drug houses and sub

PROSECUTING FOR ANARCHY.

John Temple Graves, a Georgian, was
the chief attraction at the gathering at
ChaGtauqua, N. Y, the other day. He
stood before that cultivated and law
abiding audience, ct the fountain head
of the Chautauqua movement, as a
propagandist OF the torch and cord. He
told them in effect that law Is failure
and mob murder the only bulwark be-
tween the honor of southern woman
hood and it's violation.
The law and its legitimate penal
ties with this race and with this peo-
pie" asserts Mr.. Graves, referring
to the negro, ARE absolutely
insufficient to terrorize the crimi-
Eal or to intimidate the crime. As the
conditions exist today, the mob Is the
bulwark OF society. With its numbers,
with its frowning face, with its menac-
ing tone and with it's blazing eye 1t is
paradox of civilization-the moral mon
ster which ierrities and restraints an in
ferior race where statutes are tame and
courts are laughed to scorn.
AS a sheer cold fact, the mob stands
today the most potential bulwark be-
tween the woman of the south and such
a carnival of crime as would infuriate
the world and precipitate the annihila-
ton of the negro race" The total and

would quarantine the negroes in black

accomplished he pleads the stake as an

and barbarism as necessary and ex-
pedient.
Neither Mr.. Graves suggestion of
negro state nor his assertion of mob
law as preventive of the peculiar
crime of the southern negro are worthy
of consideration. The formation of a
reservation, where one-tenth of the to-
tai population of the United States is
to be confined, is utterly and entirely
beyond common sense. His plea for
the legitmization of lynch law and
torture in supposedly civilized land Is
