OPINION
INSANITY on The Farm.

Insanity on the Farm.
From the Des Moines Register and
Leader.
The report OF the State Board of
Control shows 27S more insane
patients confined in State hospitals
than there was a year ago, The total
number in the four hospitals is now
$3.50. During the year the increase
IN the number OF suicides among the
farm population has frequently been
commented upon. The situation pre-
sents interesting questions TO the
student.
Iowa is primarily and essentially an
agricultural State. II has no great
cities. The people I've either on farms
or near 20 them. They live simple,
wholesome lives. Prosperity Is gems
Ierai What, then. is the cause OF
the increase Of the suicidal mania and
of insanity No answer that is totally
adequate and satisfactory can be
given. Professor Wilcox. Of the state
University, may contend that Iowa.

fers because Of It's geographical Local
tion. The explanation does not ex-
plain to the average mind. Others
may argue that bringing rural life
nearer to city life Is responsible. The
city has extended into the country. or
the country into the city, within
recent years. There Is not the same
llne OF demarcatlon between city
pavements and country lanes as FORM
erly lnterurban railways. telephones,
rural mail delivery. a score OF agents
have made Countrywide take on the
qualities OF city life. II may be that
the price Of this change is already de-
Ing paid. Scientists have contended
that the hurly- burly of-city life tends
TO suicide and insanity. that the whole
some country air and life make to-
wards a clearer, saner brain and
nobler conception OF life. These gem
eral theories are being contradicted by
statistics Are the changes OF the
past decade responsible? Many win
answer yes.
There are others who viii argue
that the Increase OF insanity and
suicides is simply In the nature OF a
wave sweeping across the state. That
there are waves OF crime few viii dis
Dute. Why not the same with insanity ?
They argue that the mechanical in
introduced into farm life

why should they cause insanity and
suicide?
And so the explanations continues

lone satisfactory. Il is an interesting

the disease to the pest house.
We never question the doctors-at

OF them agree, and we are willing to
submit to all sorts OF opinions. even
though they tend to develop a feeling
Of fear at contact with all human be-

period Of history when men are most
given to congregating in great centers,
the theory OF all sorts OF contagion has
been developed.
We doubt not that cold feet is a con-
