keep posted on the latest and most im-
proved methods of conducting his busi>
ness; or the grain farmer who does nos
take advantage of every opportunity
to improve his seed and cultivate his
crops that he may receive a better and
larger yield of grain per acre. He is
indeed wise man who cannot gather
new ideas from his neighbor AS the
value of farm lands increases so must
the farmers knowledge of how to pro-
duce greater results per acre increase
A farmer, like professional or bust
ness man, must be close student of
the work he is following. A study of
the government census reports for 1900
shows that the increase of population
of the United States for the preced-
ing ten years was over IA millions, or
about 20 per cent of our total popula-
ton. Iowa's population Is shown by
the same census to be a fraction over
100000, or about one-sixth the total
increase for the whole United States
for the ten years just mentioned. The
amount of food consumed yearly by
this great increase In population is
enormous. and with yearly decrease
in the acreage of new agricultural land,
but one choice is left; We must produce
more bushels per acre on land now
cultivated and raise cattle and hogs
that will take on more meat per pounds
of forage and grain consumed. To ac-
complish this the farmer must keep In
close touch with experiments contin-
ually being conducted and by careful
observation of the results OF his own
work. Many Improvements for de-
crease in the cost of production, or
increase in the yield per acre, are noted
by the exhibits shown at the annual
state fair from year to year. II the
same relative percentage of increase
of population is returned from the CEN
sus Of 1910 it will give us an increase
of over 2O.O00,000, or nine times the
total population of the state of Iowa.
Iowa farmers must do their part toward
furnishing food for this great army
of people. Anything that tends to in
crease their knowledge along these
lines is of great Importance. and that is
the purpose of the Iowa state fair"
