OF the publication OF the official report Dur.
Ing nearly the entire c,tton reporting season
OF 1903 II Holmes was n charge Of the bureau o
statistics. in the absence of Chief Statistican n
Fl, de, who was In Europe. Since that time
he had bad access to the reports OF field
agents, who furnish the data upon which the
cotton reports are based. The most import
ant of hese reports come from Field Agent
B. &. White and from the several State
agents. TO all Of which Holmes has had access.
1t was found that alterations had been made
In the figures OF Mr. Whites report for Octo
ber 8 1903 and that these alterations ap-
peared TO be in Holmes handwriting.
Secretary Wilson says Il large number OF
persons made statements Of general charac.
ter. founded on rumors and Incapable OF yer.
ificatiop, and for this reason they were not
made a part OF this report, which is intended
to deal With facts only.
According to the new plan outlined by Sec
retary Wilson TO govern the preparation oil
the monthly reports OF the bureau Of statis-
tics, the general special field agents will re.
port on speculative crops directly TO the
Secretary of Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
These reports will remain sealed In the Gus
lody of these Ulcers until the day official re.
port III to be made, when the agents report
will be opened and the official report COM
pile under strict precautions. There never

will be three special field agents, Instead OF
one assigned TO the work of collecting statis-
tics for tue cotton crop reports. These agents
will have no commune cation With each other
and will report on different groups OF States.
Wilson's report closes as follows:

There was no money, but Kindness was
currency ard sociability legal tender.
Now the roads that radiate from the
county seat run on section and hair
section lines run between rows of mod
ern houses and big red barns built
on ordered farms worth from $50 to
$50 per acre. The old mortgages that
kindly George Mckay was wont ana
willing to extend were cancelled long
ago. There are furnaces in the houses,
fat stock In the fenced fields, and a
fine carriage housed on the spoe where
the lumber wagon stood as the swell
est vehicle of the old time. The sloughs
went with the mortgages and the wind
mills and flowing wells afford water for
lures. The little villages with the cross
roads store or two have grown into
neat towns of citified brick stores with
plate glass windows and attractive
stocks. Wright county has grown rich
1t was always respectable. 1t is a
new country with new ideals and new
business ideas. It's growth and change
are typical Of the development Of that
section OF the state. It's people live
better and are better off, but the old
men to whom the Monitors anniver-
sary brings infinite recollection, will
lament the loss of old time simplicity
and the decadence Of the universal So
cial freedom and unfailing hospitality
that obtained when Wright county was
poor but happy.

Iowans Change Methods.


III. l.. M. Bruner, breeder of pure
bred Angus cattle and Duroc-Jersey
hogs, and also prominent in feeding
circles, accompanied by his herdsman,
j. B. Christensen, was here from To-
ledo Iowa, with two loads of cattle,
and one of hogs, which sold to his
satisfaction.
"There is great interest manifested
by farmers in my section of the state
in better classes Of CATTLE" remarked
Mr.. Bruner. 1.-TWO reasons are respon-
sible for this First. they are fast
coming to the realization that raising
a poor grade of cattle on high priced
land is losing proposition; second,
they know without doubt that 1t costs
no more and, In fact, not as much, to
handle a good class Of cattle as to have
scrubs on the farm.
"When land was cheap and plentt-

: with their purchases. City conSunn-
err; do not understand why horses are
so scarce. While perhaps there are as
m any horses IN the country as at any
time in industry, the number Is rela-
u iely small when contraSted with the
80 900 900 population in this country.
Demand and supply regulate prices.
Population has expanded dispropor-
tionately with the increase in the sup
ply of horses. National industries have
grown relatively faster than the pro-
d,tction of horses. The low prices a
few years ago tempted farmers to sell
many of their best mares, and the a
bility of rapid increase OF the supply
of good horses has been partially elirn-
| inlted from the industry. Good grade
| d, aft mares are proving bonanzas IN
Increasing the Income of the farm.
| Notwithstanding the extensive appli-
| &C ton OF electric motor power, the de-
mand for good horses was never broad
Ell nor more urgent. The horse, re-
| icved from servitude in one industry,
finds still more remunerative employ
ment in other commercial enterprises.
Tie growth of teamlng In cities has
been more rapid than the increase OF
! IN G supply of horses. Perhaps IL is
not so much the shortage of the sup
ply as the broader demand that has
stimulated values The proprietors or
so lie bazaars find It difficult to supply
tt cir customers. If they will COM
pure their sales OF 1904 with their bus
dress in 1899 they will no doubt dis
cover that their sales have increased
10 per cent while the supply is nearly
stationary. With the consumption OF
horses of vastly increased proportions
81, compared with half q decade ago.
IL e leading cause of current high prize
e.. for horses is shown The Increased
demand has compelled dealers to corr
j tract for future delivery many young
h orses on the farm. Big city contraG-
| tors have demonstrated that 1t Us more
economical to use heavy horses and
employ fewer men. Their trucks now
carry two and three yards of earth,
| where formerly one cubic yard was
rated a load. The more aggressive
demand incident to enlarged city use Of
heavy draft animals has fixed q stan
dard of prices that makes breeding
heavy commercial horses very profit
able. Dealers generally who are well
Informed on the industrial outlook are
agreed that current high prices Will
! continue for some time.

a CONTRACTOR ON THE CANAL,

1.-THE Panama Canal From A Com
tractors Standpoint is the title OF a
most interesting contribution to the
january number of the North Ameri-
can Review, from the pom OF George
w. Crichfield, who has had much ex-
perience in the construction Of large
works in the tropics. Mr.. Crichfield
goes largely into an examination Of
details connected with the enterprise
Of digging the isthmian canal. He an
sists that, from considerations both OF
economy and usefulness. the canal
should be deep sea canal, and that
the plan Of constructing locks should
be abandoned. 1t would be mistake.
he thinks, to let the contract to one
concern. If 1t We're let to, say, fifty
or sixty contractors. all OF whom could
work simultaneously on their respec-
tive sections, the undertaking; should
be completed within four years. Mr..
Crichfield ridicules the IDEA of employ
ing southern negroes on the isthmus.
citing his own experience in support of
his assertion that negroes I'm the trop-
les eat more, waste more food, call for
more medical attendance do less work
and cause more trouble than any other
class. The best and most available
labor will be found among tie poems
of the lowlands OF Mexico, Central AM
erica and South America. MI. Crich-
field concludes:
"The United States ought tD be adj
yertisinr to receive bids at the present
moment on all sections OF the Culebra
cut, That work is perfectly simple,
and any engineer ought IN q months
time to draw specifications for 1T. Com
tractors should have sixty days In
which to submit bids, and In ninety
days after the award of the contracts,
they should commence work. Within
four years after work is commenced,
the biggest steamship In the world
ought to be able 10 pass IroIi oie ei4u
to the other without interruption. With
from SIXTY to hundred cor tractors,
each working in three shifts daily, and
employing from 1000 to 1000 men. with
adequate machinery, there rs TO reason
why this work should drag sAong for
any great length Of time. BIT II our
engineers spend another year or two
getting up plans, and the government
does the work with 5000 or 10000
southern negroes, supplying them with
good food and clothing our great
grandchildren will probably not see the
work finished. nor will their great
grandchildren see the end of the pay
ments on account Of the expense which
1t will involve"
