IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Inc Sioux City Journal very senSi-
bly, says "the collapse Of the Parker
campaign has put new strength into
the hands Of the democratic radicals.
What the situation in 1908 will be it is
impossible now to forecast. A tenden-
cy towards fossilization on the part
of the republican party would i'm
mensely enhance the opportunity Of the
extreme and passionate elements Of the
democratic party"
"A foolish young man who thinks he
can play big gambling game makes
a sorry mess of 1t when he starts out"
observes the Cedar Rapids Republican.
THE solid south without additional
solids Is not weighty," asserts the Ce-
dar Rapids Gazette. with Missouri,
West Virginia and half of My Mary
land gone the south Is shot all to
pieces"
The Manson Journal points out that
"If we have bad men In Office it is the
voters fault. They were put there by
their votes and can be defeated in the
same way
Noting that "the prohibition brethren
are fighting among themselves like
lot of ordinary mortals," the Cedar
Rapids Republican remarks that ITEM
perance in speech, however, was never
a virtue in that organization
The Jefferson Bee would like to
print the photographs Of the Greene
county democrats who really voted for
Roosevelt, but didn't quite dare let
their brethren know about 1t. 1t would
make an interesting gallery, the Bee
thinks.
"The meanest and most thoroughly
despised speciment OF manhood is the
two legged ape who imagines that he
can crush his political enemy by
attacking him thru a newspaper med
ium and hide his cowardly face be-
hind an anonymous signature" de-
clares the enraged Winterset Madi-
sonian.
There is johnson county. the only
spot on the map" regretfully observes
the Carroll Herald. ut stands alone
among the Iowa counties giving DEM
ocratic majority. johnson county,
mind you, the home of the state uni
versity, the seat Of learning and all
that"
The Parkersburg Eclipse ADVISES 'if
you belong to an organization don't be
a dead head. Be worker or get out
entirely. If you belong to lodge
hustle to keep it moving. If you are
church member hustle to keep the or
Ranization in shape to do effective work
in the community. If you belong to a
political party that Is worth tinker's
continental, hustle to keep 1t up to the
top notch as the peoples favorite. A
dead head in an organization gives a
hustler that tired feeling that even
Ayers Sarsa parilla will not help"
mo use talking, the country has
certainly made good start in the work
of eliminating the democratic microbe,"

Protect tho BumbIebees.

The bumb1ebee is one OF the most
valuable little farm assistants known
to the agriculturist. He is necessary
in the pollenizing of blossoms in the
orchards and meadows. He destroys
but little fruit, and seldom attacks the
cherry or apple, until 1t is too ripe for
market or family use. His mission on
earth is that of peace and prosperity.
In Germany his life is protected by
legislative enactments. Here he is
chased about by the farmer boys and
killed on sight. His services as farm
and orchard assistant are not appre-
ciated.
Red clover blossoms do not form seed
until the pollen Is thoroughly mixed.
For this reason. 1t is argued, in many
sections of the country. the first crop
of clover is failure as a seed produce
err. The bumblebee does not come from
his winter resting place In time to work
on the clover blossoms and hence the
pollen Is not handled as 1t should be to
form seeds.

were 1876 lbs and 2.26 lbs, and for the
spayed heifers IL and 2.03 lbs. The
conclusions drawn from this and prev
ious work are that the merits and rel
alive value Of heffer beef have been

slaughter and block tests showed
hardly any material difference in the
character, composition or quality OF

ers gave more profitable carcasses on

cuts from the steers. So far as can
be gathered from those experiments,

j. II. Lowery has given us few CAL
houn county statistics which will be
of interest to our readers. Calhoun
county real estate is valued at over
s22.000,O00. The population of the
county is $1,000. There are $50 school
houses in the county, which with all
the apparatus, are valued at s1S5, 900.
Two hundred teachers are employed
at a salary of $4,000 per year to teach
the 5000 school children of the county.
Over 700 miles Of telephone lines
are strung turnout the county and
over 1000 phones In use. The $50
miles Of railroad in the county is val
ued at 21a millions of dollars, and
sixty regular trains pass over same
each day. Not such an awfully poor
country, is it?

MUST BUILD NEW CRIBS.
Tafforcor Roo

Jefferson Bee.l
What will the farmers do with their
corn?
This is a more serious question than
what the ice man will do with his
money.
Greene county has nearly double
the corn she has had since 1895. Dur
ing these lean years the corn cribs
have rotted and gone down to rack
and ruin. The husking has proceed
ed far enough SO that the remaining
cribs are already full, and the farm
ers are able to get correct estimate
as to the size Of their crop. There
are three possible ways out OF the
difficulties: first, to build new perma-
nent cribs; second, to put up the tenn
poral circular oak lath cribs; third to
sell on the present market.
The first method involves consider
able expense which everybody is just
at this time trying to avoid. To con-
struct good double crib to hold
1000 bushels Of corn costs in this day
$3.50 to $500. OF course single
skeleton crib can be built lots cheaper.
but lumber is high, and even small
building Is expensive.
The oak lath cribs are very popular
lust now. A crib eight feet high OF
this character big enough to hold $50
or 800 bushels Is sold at IS. Thus
for 500 a man can provide for 1000
bushels of corn in pretty good shape,
and il these cribs are preserved and
mfr away after the corn is removed,
from them, they will last two or three
seasons. They offer the cheapest and
hest way out Of an emergency, as the
interest on the money invested In a
bio. nermanent crib will buy them every
year.
Last of all, is it wise to sell for 80
cents? Most of the farmers think not.
MANY of them are contracting por-
tion Of their crop at this figure, but
holding the bulk Of it. 1t is believed
hv many well informed persons that
the IDEAL" in December corn will
make the price advance to S5 cents in
Iowa. by December I, but after that
look out for slump. The fact Is that
az cents for Sc pounds Of shelled corn
delivered in December, is as good as
40 cents for the same corn IN May,
when there is no time to haul it to
market. and many are taking this view
Of the matter and will let go their crop
on a 35 cent price.
while everybody has their own
theory. we confess this plan looks good
to us.

THE LIVES OF A CAT.
TBaxter New Era,7

Some of our contemporaries are all
leging that the democratic party is so
dead that it can not be resurrected. 1t
is the young republicans who talk
this way, not the old war chargers.
In 1868. John P. Irish, then leading
light in the ranks of Iowa democracy,
proclaimed from the capitol steps at
Des Moines that the democratic party
was too dead to 'skin-not enough Of
it left for burial purposes-would not
appear in another national campaign.
yet is was not but few years after
wards when the party, under the

1903 thought he would do little ex-
perimenting with one acre of land.
He carefully prepared the ground,
blowing, pulverizing and fertilizing It,
and then planted the hills as close to-
gether as in his Judgment was proper
to get the best results. He used the
best seed and was careful to have
three stalks in hill In the outside
rows the hills were much closer to-
gether because Of their additional
space for the absorption of nourish-
ment. Careful and thorough filling
did the rest and he harvested 1856 BUSH
els Of sound merchantable corn.
When Iowa corn raisers plant fewer
acres, properly prepare the ground and
properly till their fields they will raise
more and better corn than now ana
have more acres for grass or other
crops.

Several Towns Seriously Damaged by
Wind Storm.
Higginsville, Mo-, March 22.-Fifty
buildings are partly wrecked, one man
is MORALLY injured and several others
hurt; the town is in darkness and the
streets are strewn with debris as the
result of tornado and hail storm
which struck this place at 4:45 o'clock
Monday afternoon.
The storm came without warning.
The wind and hail came first and was
followed with terrific downpour Of
rain. The storm came from the west.
It kept within narrow path, only
about two blocks of the business por-
ton of this place being damaged.
Two other towns in this section
were in the path Of this storm and are
said to be considerably damaged. They
are Corder and Alma, both having
populations of 500 or 600. According
to the meager reports several houses
in both places were wrecked, but the
exact extent of the damage is not
known.
It is estimated that 1000 windows
were broken. The most careful esti-
mate of the financial loss is $4,000.
