Big Potatoes Raised on tho Reform

Special to- Times-Republican.
Des Moines. Aug. 19-The mule IS
up againHt it and there isn't any use
of his kicking-on the state owned
farms in Iowa.
The only relic is on the farm ut
Eldora, where the state owns sixteen,
and these are about to be supplanted By
horses.
Colonel Drake, the new superinten-
dent at Eldora, Is against the mule,
though he comes from Missouri TO
Iowa; Hon. John Cownie. in charge Of
the state farms for the board of con-
troll. is against the mule also. The
result will be his eradication from the
invoice OF property owned by the state
on its $4,000 acres of land.
Superintendent Miles of the Eldora
institution, rather inclined to favor the
mule, that is, he thought ne was IA
voring tte horse, by furnishing mules
for the boys at the institution to han
die. He fused to say that the mule was
better able to stand abuse and hard
treatment than was the horse and he
preferred to trust mules rather than
horses to the tender mercies of the
youth who had been sent to the insti-
tuition.
Mr.. Cownie said yesterday that this
philosophy did not appeal to him in
the least He thought that the state
possibility that any domestic animal

as they Ito in the army. for instance.
and this being the case 1t is only the
fair and reasonable thing to furnish
horses instead of mules at all of the
institutions.
The board of control now has in its
possession number of potatoes dug
up at the Eldora farm, which weigh
from twenty to twenty three ounces
each. These are sample OF the field
of three and half acres from which
more than 1000 bushels Of potatoes will
be harvested. These are Early Ohio.
There are about seventy-flve acres
planted tn late potatoes at the same in
stitution.
Mr.. Cownie said yesterday that the
prospect for the corn and other crops
at the Edora institution is very fine.
The acreage follows: Corn. rs; white
beans, 30. sorghum. 80: pumpkins. 10;
onions, 81 carrots and parsnips one
each. The institution is putting UP
barrels of cucumber
pickles this year, 200 tons of hay. and
has sixty acres OF oats In shock. 1t has
$50 old hogs, $50 shoats. SO cows,
horses and is mules.
Let the Boys Talk.
Colonel Drake has just promulgated
a new rule at the Eldora school, per-
hitting the boys to talk to each other
at the table Heretofore, they have
been compelled to go thru the meals in
silence.
1t is needless to add that Colonel
Drake has won the hearts of the boys

ABOUT CORN.
fSioux City Journal. ]

YSioux City Journal
Nowadays when two men get togeth-
err and talk, on the street corner or
elsewhere, 1t is safe to assert that they
will not part without mentioning corn.
One mans hobby may be politics. an
others the war In the east. and still
another's base ball, and so on, but
when it comes to corn they meet on
common ground The politician is In
terested in Parker and Esopus and
whether the democrats are going to
succeed in carrying New York, but he
will say am just about as much IN
terested in the corn crop as anything
else. Corn looks fine up my way, and II
we have some hot weather the crop Will
be immense" The war fiend can tell in
a minute just how the Japs are going
to finish UP the Port Arthur campaign
but say" he interjects anxiousiy
"if this cold weather we have been
having lately doesn't come off pretty
soon there won't be enough corn in
this country to feed a crow" The ball
crank explains that hot weather is
good for both base ball and corn and he
hopes we will have lots of it. I'VE can
stand it, l guess he says, as he mops
the sweat off his face, as long as IL IS
good for the corn" This general
tribute to King Corn appeals to the
funny side of the people outside of the
corn belt and they are disposed to
make Jest of our homage of the mon
arch. But it is no testing matter. the
universal interest in the corn crop Is a
manifestation of it's Importance to this
region, and the fact that the city man
as well as the man in the country
recognizes this Importance is proof OF
his larger knowledge. For every man
hereabout is dependent to a greater
or less degree upon the great cereal.
Corn is the foundation of our wealth,

number of the counties have made the
reports relative to county organization,
but in some cases these reports have
not been forwarded to headquarters. In
each county where the names and adj
dresses of the county committee have
not been sent to the committee it
should be done at once as 1t is i'm

District Meetings.
Chairman Spence and Mr.J Il. NC
Nicely. manager of the speakers bureau
expect to begin holding district con-
ferenees the first week in September.
1t is probable that the districts In the
northern part of the state Will be the
first to be visited, beginning with the
Fifth district. 1t Is desired that the
county chairman of each of the coun-
ties in the district attend these meet
ings and come prepared to COVE a care
full statement of the condition of af-
fairs politically in their counties. THESE
meetings are very important in order
that a clear understanding of the sit
uation in the various sections of the
state may be had and the committee
may be able to lay out their work ac-
cerdingly.
Speaking Campaign.
1t is expected that copies of the re-
publican campaign text books Will pc
received at headquarters III a few days.
They will be sent to county chairmen
and speakers and will be found to be
full of good republican meat. The
speaking campaign will begin early in
September, and already applications
are coming In from nearly every dis
trict for prominent speakers. 1t VIII
probably be difficult to secure a large
corps of speakers of national reputa-
ton. as the national committee intends
to make strong fight in the east and
will probably concentrate the activity
Of the more noted spellbinders in that
section. However. the committee has
promise of speeches by some OF the
leading republican. orators and will UNI
doubtedly be able to arrange a splendid
speaking campaign.

newspaper paragraph suggests
skunk raising as an occupation for
women who are compelled by circum-
stances to earn their own livelihood.
1t seems to be too strong an under
taking for most women. and still n
good many of her sex have followed
the occupation. A moment reflection
will recall to any persons number of
instances in which an energetic wom
an has engaged in skunk raising IN
the form of worthless and shiftleSs
husband. who is of less value to the
community and his family than the
striped prototype. The chief advantage
in the suggestion of the raising of the
four footed variety. however, lies in the
statement that there is said to be
money In the business. The human in
fringement is absolutely worthless for
every purpose except absorption of the
proceeds Of the energy of those whose
