Waterloo, May 26.-The legislative
committee Of the Iowa State Dairy as
ISOLATION, composed Of w. B. Barney,
Hampton; G. L. Mckay. Ames: w. p.
Smith, Des Moines, and w. w. Marsh
and Il. r. Shoemaker, of Waterloo,
held meeting In the offices of the
Fred L. Kimball company for the pur-
pose Of making definite plans to bring
the results Of dairying in Iowa up to
somewhere near what they should be.
Since the meeting q few weeks ago,
at which time it was decided to make
an effort to get an annual appropria-
ton from the state of $4,000, a Wig
orous campaign has been carried on
and every candidate for the general
assembly has been queried regarding
his stand on the matter. Replies have
been received from approximately $50
and not moro than six are unfavorable
to the plan Of the association. Conse-
quently, it Is considered certainty
such an appropriation will be granted.
and with the money district dairying
meetings will be held and several ca
pable men will be employed to devote
time among the farmers, teaching
them how to test milk, feed and breed
dairy cattle.
The twelve or thirteen meetings
that will be held each year with the
assistance of the appropriation will, 1t
is figured, make dairying in Iowa ex-
tremely profitable. where now in most
localities it is carried on at a loss, be-
cause the people are not educated on
the subject and feed many cows that
do not pay for their keeping.
All the men on the legislative COM
mittee were present, and the afternoon
session is proving the appropriation
subject will soon be dispensed with.

The Cummins people laugh at this
sort of estimate even tho It gives SEN
ator Allison only 10000 majority and
4 change of $500 majority would turn
the majority to Cummins.
f. They say that $500 is a liberal esti-
mate for the Allison majority in the
] First district; they laugh at the claim
that the Second will give the anti
Cummins forces 1000; expect the Third
TO break about even; say that the
Fourth will give Cumrnins at least o.,
900; think that the Fifth will be a
standoff; do not believe that the Sixth
will give any such a majority as 5000
against Cuanmins; consider the Sew
enth district concession Of 1000 as ri
diculous: thing that they will cut down
the Eighth 10 1000 or $500, and expect
to get from $4,000 to 250)O majority in
the Tenth and Eleventh.

Some of the progressive' believe that
the Fourth district majority Will go
close to 5000. Others estimate the
tenth district at $1,000. Some would
nut the Seventh at 5000 Others would
conrede not more than 1000 In the
First and nothing in the Second. ana
not to exceed 1000 in the Eighth.
A third poll of the southern counties,
taken because the previous ones were
Thought to be too sanguina, has led the
nrosressives to believe that almost
anvthing is possible there. The thfrdt
po,l is better than either. of the pre-
vious ones and 900 majority in the
comfy for Cumn1ins, while the stand
patters claim 1t. will give 500 for ALI /
son without organization.
\ While most of the standpat claims
are conservative, some of them are re-
garded as preposterous.
For instance, standIatter said
few DAYS ago that he knew man who
have more majority in Dubuque coun-
~ than Cummfns would have In the
entire Seventh district.
IN connection with the Dubuque
county situation, it is stated that
4 democrats there expect to try to vote
for their distinguished fellow towns
man. The republican vote, however,
IDS about 1000. "A prominent local
standpatter has stated that Cummins
would have not less than 5000 ma
jority in the Seventh district. On the
! figures of the standpatters, therefore.
alone. the governor COULD not get to
exceed 500 votes in Dubuque county.
However, he ran about 800 ahead of
the ticket there In 1906.

editors in southern Iowa, who was in
the city last week. made an estimate
OF the outcome of the primary, giving

would be an easy victory for Cum

He has just completed the work of
planting about 1000 trees on his farm
two miles north of this city. They
were all purchased of a local nursery.
and are said to be as fine bunch Of
trees as anyone need wish to look at.
They are mostly Of the Northwest
Greening, Wealthy and Silome varie-
ties.
The local management of the Iowa
Central Telephone Company is pre-
pairing to install a new switchboard
for their rural line subscribers, by the
use of which 1t is hoped to give all pa
irons better service.
A separate room will be devoted to
this purpose, and special operators will
have charge Of this board, instead of
the same person having to do both
local and country line work. This will
make Of the Improvement practically
a farmers exchange independent of
city lines.
At the same time, connection may
be instantly made with the local CEN
