For some few years past it has been

acre then at $50 and finally even at
the $500 per notch, that the invest

vancing. This of itself ought to be suf-
ticient answer to those who are cred
ulous and If such doubters desire de-
tailed information all they have to do
is to read the newspapers. One hard
ly picks up a paper nowadays without
finding articles, contributed in many
instances by the farmers themselves.
telling the story of how the farms are
making good even at the highest, most
fancy, figures in evidence. We have
seen 1t stated that corn this year has
brought returns of s34 per acre, MAX

details are furnished of an acreage

beets. 1t takes good deal Of work to
cultivate an acre of the beets. but even
at that there must be money in high
priced land used for such purpose.
Small dairy farms. poultry ranches and
intensified farms, generally shows per
acre returns many fold in advance of
the general crops statistics. And then
there is the gradually accepted fact
that these results have been attained
with the most crude efforts, that our
land has not been cultivated and nour-
ished at anything like its capacity for
responding Nowhere in the world to-
day is greater progress being made or
greater possibilities presented than up
on an Iowa farm.

The Republican says:
The esteemed Cedar Rapids Optim-

some doubt about the long term. That

regardless Of the fact there was a
break in it. However much we might
have desired this honor to go to some
other man, we are bound to admit
that 1t went to the governor, body
and soul. That is the meaning of the
recent primary, at least, that is the
way in which we read that meaning.
The senatorship Is n closed subject in
Iowa until the term which Senator
Dolliver is now filing expires. There
will be no senatorial election in this
state until then, for the election which
is to be held on the Gath of this
month, for the short term, and the
one which is to be held next January
for the long term have already been
decided at the polls this month. Gov
ernor Cummins has six years and
three months in the senate before
him. without asking any further ia
