Not Crop Failure in Fifty Years.

From Farming.
Within the borders of Iowa is an area of more
than 80, 100000 acres, fully 95 per cent. of which
is arabic land which may be made to produce
something of value. No other State in the Union
has SO large percentage of its domain available
for agriculture.
This great body of fertile soil is divided into
approximately 10000 farms with an average of
1851 acres OF the total number of farms C5 per
cent. are occupied by the owners and IS per cent.
by renters.
Practically without exception all of these
farms are devoted to the joint production of
crops and live stock. This system of farm
management tends to maintain the fertility of
the soil, and it is well known fact that the live
stock farms of Iowa have apparently not as yet
been reduced in productive capacity even in the
smallest measure. Commercial fertilizers have
not found market in Iowa and not one farmer
in thousand here knows anything about the
nature of these products.
From an agricultural point of view the most
important feature of the climate of Iowa is that
its maximum of rainfall comes in the crop
season, April to September inclusive. In the
six crop months the average rainfall is 22.4S
inches. or II per cent of the annual total, and in
the four most critical months, May 1st to Sep
L6mOeT ISL, Uu0 dV0rdxc IOr JH0 Oldt0 10 1OsSo
inches, or 81 per cent.
Although there are fluctuations in the amount
of rainfall in the crop season, the records of the
past half century show that there has never
been crop failure and fairly good crops have
been produced in the driest or wettest seasons
FORMER U. s.. SENATOR BUTLER, of South
Carolina, in an interview in Washington few
days ago, said: eff Bryan is Democrat
am not. Mr.. Bryan has injected too much
populism and other things into the Democratic
party. This talk of Governmento wnershipof
railways. initiative and referendum, and the
like have no business in the talk of Democ-
racy, for it is no more Democracy than other
Popuistic and Socialstic doctrines. If Bryan
is nominated and the Republicans select some
strong, conservative man, there will certainly
be slump in the South i'll favor of the Re-
publicans if the nominee is Taft or Hughes. or
any other strong man who is known as a con-
sentative. fl were topick the two candidates
for the Republicans and the Democrats would
pick Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, and
Gray, of Delaware. There is no man in the
United States more competent to manage the
affairs of this Government than Senator Hale"
Col. THEODORE f. LANG, we'll known in
Grand Army circles, died suddenly at his
home in Baltimore, on Saturday last, aged IA
years. He was native of West Virginia and
was a veteran of the Civil War. COL Lang
had many acquaintance in Baltimore county,
having frequently made speeches here in the
interest of the Republican party.
THIS YEARS corn crop may not be quite as
big as some, but will bring the farmers more
money. The pumpkin is as yet unfrosted, and
the Thanksgiving goose hangs high.
In EIGHT years the Standard Oil Company
profits have amounted to nearly $500, 900, 900.
No trouble to pay dividends or fines.
