The MESSAGE.

The president can find more work for
hired men to do than an old fashioned
farmer ever was able to do. II con-
gress takes up in real earnest the prin-
cipal legislation recommended in the
message it can keep busy every day
for the next two years and have a
ors. Revision of the currency laws, an
employers liability law, law to prevent
issuance of temporary injunctions, for
estry, waterways, postal savings bank,
parcels post, inheritance taxation, bat
tleships, are some of the matters urged
upon congress, any and all of which
mean fight on the floor, delay and
lodging by congressman and senators.
On many OF the measures recommended
the sentiment of the country is widely
at variance. President Roosevelt has
laid out enough work to last the aver
age congress decade.
As to the canal the president seems
TO be entirely satisfied with the pro-
gress making and the general condi-
lions that obtain on the zone.
The present session is all too short
for consideration, let alone definite ac-
ton on any respectable number of the
multitude of measures mentioned by
%bo ontroipo praSj5ent
The next session is likely to be oc-
cupied largely iii consideration of tariff
revision and the framing of new tariff
legislation There must be no mistake
about that and the result of congress
ional deliberations must approach
nearly to the demand made by the
voters at the past election. Other things
can be put aside, il necessary, until
the matter of revision is attended to;
for If there is no revision or II re-
vision Is made a stalking horse the
signs of the times point to new faces
and different party preponderance In
The next congress.
President Roosevelt will not get much
of the mass of legislation he recon-
mends during the two months and a
half that remain to his term. Some of 1t
the middle west will be pleased to
hope will never be passed. There are
grave doubts Of the advisability Of
nostal savings banks and a parcels post
in the states that have been the strong
est supporters OF the man and his adj
ministration which step out next

and the Farmers.
(ChicagO ,JOurnal. ]

Investigation by The Journal of the
school book situation has disclosed that
the city dweller is not the only victim
of extortion by the publishers.
The graft extends into every school
district in Illinois, and the farmer who
sends his children to the country school
is frequently the heaviest contributor
to the rapacity of the trust
City and country have an equal in
terest in obtaining a square deal for
their children. 1t is only by united ac-
ton that the grip Of this monopoly on
the educational system of the state
can be broken.
The rural school district Is at the
mercy of the octopus. The children
must have books and they must take
them at the prices fixed by the pub
fishers or go without.
Chicago is leading in a campaign
that will result in more reasonable
prices for textbooks in its schools. It's
action creates an opportunity for the
smaller cities and the rural districts
of which they should be prompt to take
advantage.
The state should be a. unit in the
demand for cheaper books. The peo-
pie should insist that a text book that
is sold in Indiana or Kansas for 30
cents shall be sold for 30 cents in H.
linois.
Legislation that will make this de-
tnand effective turnout the state is a
duty the incoming legislature can not
we'll disregard 1t is one subject. at
least. on which members from Chicago
and those from the state should be
able to act in absolute harmony.

THE "PorA1o HONEY"

1 Iowa newspapers have been exploit
ing Grundy county's big potato crop
| this fall and calculating the money thus
brought into the county very much as
the farmer counts the "egg and chicken
money" as an incidental accretion to
the common receipts Of the farm. We
are inclined, here in the corn, hog and
cattle belt, to look on all except the
corn crop as side line and when
some shrewd and progressive farmer
drops into potatoes sugar beets, pop
corn, or the like and gets immense re-
turns from his acreage, we are still
prone to consider it as freak farm
| ing, a side line somewhat out of the
avocation and business of real farm
ing. We note that they raise good
potatoes up in Grundy" "get lots of
popcorn to the acre in Ida and that
those German and Morse farmers Cup
| in Bremen and Winnebago make mon
ey on sugar beets;" but we don't take
| time to realize that Iowa is vast
field of potato soil, that popcorn grows
| in other parts Of the state as it does
in Ida and Sac and that the sugar
beet. soil is not confined to Bremen,
Black Hawk and Winnebago.
| In the matter of potato culture the
average farmer gets perhaps the
smallest returns from his seed of any
crop he plants and thru simple care
| lessness as to seed, seed bed and at
tention Were the same carelessness
attendant upon corn culture there
would be no 500 an acre corn land in
Iowa until some farmer who had
gumption enough to select seed and
take care of crop appeared and took
charge of the farm. And yet, good po-
tato ground, carefully managed is year
after year more valuable than corn
ground.
The department of agriculture places
the potato crop of 1908 at 274,660,000
bushels, decrease of 100000 bushels
from the production of 1907, and the
information is added that the quality
of the crop this year is far below the
average. This result is charged di-
rectly, in the opinion of the govern
ment officials, to the carelessness or in
difference of the American farmers in
the selection of their seed potatoes. The
crop has been growing smaller and the
quality poorer for several years and
this country. the most productive on

the face Of the globe, has been COM
PEELED to import large quantities of po-
tatoes. from Belgium and Germany
The reports show that the yield of po-
tatoes in this country for the last sea-
S, n averaged only little more than
eighty bushels to the acre, while the
curing from 200 to ESQ bushels per
acre, on a soil that is not nearly so
fertile or weld adapted to potato culture
as most of the farming section of the
United States.
The Grundy county potato grower,
the popcorn grower of Sac and the Nor
weglan who took 500 worth of sugar
bcets to the acre off his Winnebago
farm, worth on the market perhaps $75
al acre are only doing what the de-
paltment of agriculture with its wide
world view OF the situation advises 1t
Is not likely that they read more bull
latins than their neighbors or are in
closer touch with the agricultural de-
partment than other farmers. They
know good thing when they see it.
however, are not so habituated to look
ing down a corn row that they are I'M
able to Sc any other crop and have
a lively interest in the status of their
bank accounts. Some men must be
driven to diversified farming Others
are wise enough to see it's advantages
early The potato. popcorn and sugar
beet growers belong in the latter class.
Watch their pank accounts grow.

EDUCATING THE BLIND.

Bernard Murphy, of Vinton, is ag
itating more general education Of the
blind The inference is that he would
make such education compulsory, That
Mr.. Murphy lives at Vinton and that
Vinton Is the seat of the state institu-
ton for the blind, an institution by the
way that has been weak in attendance
and neglected in the matter of larger
appropriations Is neither here nor
there. He Is right about the common
sense of making the most of the linn
tied opportunities left to the siyhtless
child
Aside from the economic value of
training the blind child to care for tt
self. and thousands Of blind men and
women are today earning treble the
average wage of laborers in possession
of all their faculties, 1t is a duty the
state as we'll as tine family owes to
blind may be able to read and write,
Each should be taught the useful arts
that may be acquired by the sightless
Every blind child has the right to be
self supporting. 1t is a just demand
upon the state.
The school at Vinton has not at
tracted much attention. Few know
what and how is doing at that in
stitution. Perhaps we have an insult
ficient number OF blind in Iowa to bring
out the best of an institution like this.
Perhaps foolish or careless parents are
withholding opportunity from child
rem who need it most. At any rate II
would be well to inquire into and the
public would be Interested in the facts
and glad to get them.

when we went out to the barn in the
morning, and altho we did everything
we knew and all a veterinary book
told us, it was of no use, and she died
in the evening. She raised a colt this
summer and in the evening I turned
1t out of the barn to water, but X
went around the barn and looked over
the fence at its mother and called her
with it's baby whinny; the mother.
tho in deadly agony, jumped up and
answered it, tho unable to go to it,,
and as I noticed the anxious look in
the mothers eyes it struck me as the
mothers farewell, and as led the lit
