the IOWA oAT CROP.

This spring the oat crop Is receiving
the attention of the agricultural agi-
tators, the school men and experiment.
ors whose duty it is to experiment
scheme, try out and proclaim. They are
the men who watch the entire crop as
opposed to the Individual who notes
his own fields and those of his neigh
bors Their work for the past five years
ginning of a marvellous improvement
for the corn raiser has come to the
conclusions these men verified and pro-
claimed until they attracted the at
tention and won thegco-operation Of the
men most interested 1t will be so with
the oat crop.
We have used oats in Iowa more as a
cover crop to protect grass seeding
than as a profitable crop wherewith
to pay the rent.
We have jumped into the oats bin
with a scoop shovel in spring for our
StCA Oclto Az IlACoS AaekiAy ySevASt st"AASN~
what the harvest saw fit to yield to a
broadcast sowing and gone over the
same procedure when seeding time
came again. AS consequence we have
taken thirty-five bushels to the acre
with resignation and looked upon six
ty bushels as a godsend.
Iowa has long needed to exercise care
judgment and common sense in oat
culture Now that the disturbance has
been made loud enough there will be
something doing. We are going to raise
oats in Iowa before we get thru.
We are doing many things that we
have learned of the schools and the
students. We are even beginning to
test milk for butter fat and question
the COW as to whether she belongs in
the milch COW or the butcher stock
class. Corn culture, oat culture and COW
culture mean when analyzied wealth,
comfort, intelligence, education all that
goes to make up true aristocracy of
the soil.

Outside Point of Niep

| Over two years ago some one
drought before the English parlia-
ment, and this year plans are being
made to have our congress take up
the matter Of changing the time of the
clocks of each country from April
each year to Oct 1 each year. Some
advocate one hours change, others
two. The idea is to change the time
so that people will get up earlier in
the day and so have more daylight
everybody laughs and pokes fun at the
project the first time the subject is
mentioned, but on second thought
perhaps there's something in It," Let
us imagine the practical working of
| such a change in time in Marshall
town. We will use the extreme pro-
posa1, two hours change.
On April 1 and it is not an April
Fool prank, all OF. the whistles in town
blow, as usual, only two hours earlier.
Everybody gets up and eats breakfast
two hours earlier only they don't real-
ize it for the clocks have been changed
by law, and z a. m, is really 5 o'clock
in the morning. Everybody goes to
work at the usual time by the clock,
everybody has the noon meal at noon
as usual by the clock, and everybody
that works for a living quits at the
usual afternoon hour by the clock, but
thus has two hours more of daylight
and sunlight, to play golf, go a fishing
or make garden. And this would cause
no Inconvenience if universal. Trains
would come and go on the same time
tables. Public business would be car
ried on as usual, only two hours ear
lier; in reality every body would adapt
themselves to the conditions. Eight
hours laboring men would thus quit
in reality at in the afternoon and
have just so much more play time.
That our ideas of time are artificial, is
shown by the fact that railroad time
now is accepted everywhere. Here in
Marshalltown, there is really thirteen
minutes difference between sun and
railroad time. The next time you go
east and leave o'clock call in the
hotel at New York or Boston, if your
watch still agrees with the court house
clock in Marshalltown you will find
your watch shows a. M, while the
porter says 80 o'clock" Or if you are in
California the reverse is true. Logic If
a porter changes the time of one hour,
who would notice it if two hours were
changed the country over. About going
to bed? Well that is different. Let us
try. the two-hour getting up earlier in
the morning, and not know it.

ANEGLEcrED IOWA INDUSTRY.

| The Iowa farmer may much to his
profit note the prominent fact appear
ing in statistical reports that the dairy
| industry is increasing annually and
| vet the products of the industry do not
overcrowd the market. The increase of
dairy cattle in 1908 totaled $4,000
head, and the dairy herds of the I'm
tied States made a gain in value of
So, 1885, 900. The largest increase in the
industry was 10000 head in Wiscon-
sin, while the great dairy state of New
York stood still in the number of. her
dairy cattle at 1,7S9,000. Pennsylvania
made a gain of $4,000, Minnesota ST.
900, Illinois $4,000 and Iowa $1,000. to
their dairy herds. Eight Of the leading
dairy commonw eafths show an aggre-
gate increase to their herds of 269, 900
in 1908, while the average value of
dairy cattle advanced from $3.50 to
$34.25 per head.
Right here in Iowa, where the COW
is secondary t the fat steer notwith-
standing her certain profit and the I'M
certainty of cattle feeding, the cities Of
|any size are unable to get COW prod
ucts in sufficient quantities to more
than partially supply the demand. We
have been paying 35 cents pound for
butter this winter and found it hard
to come by even at that price Milk is
scarce and the price high. The large
cities are half the time within an hour

Nothing to Kick About.

It was late when the man In the
brown overcoat boarded the South

he fell asleep almost mediate1y att

He knew nothing more until no
awoke to the fact that somebody was

The man in the brown oyercoat
meekly complied.
Five minutes later he was fast
asleep in the smoking car Of a train
bound for the city.
A few second seemed to have elapsed
after he sat down when rude hand
shook him by the shoulder.
"Hello, there. Where do you want to-
get OFF," demanded rude voice.
"Thirty-ninth street." he answered.

HANGING FOR K1DNAPPBRs.

HANGING FOR KlDNAPPERS.
dubuque Times-Journal.]
Hanging is suitable punishment for
kidnappers in some cases, but not in
all. The bill before the legislature of
Pennsylvania goes too far because it
makes hanging the only penalty. A
jury unwilling to impose this penalty
would have no option except to find
the defendant not guilty in the face of
the evidence. 1t may be that the PEN
atty is to apply only for kidnapping for
the sake of ransom, but cases might
arise of kidnapping by a wife for the
purpose Of compelling a husband to
make a settlement upon her. Judge
and jury should be allowed some dis
erection, tho capital punishment would

TARIFF AND TINE CONSUMERS.

webster City Freeman-Tribune.1
The tariff laws should be such that
domestic producers will be able to
produce everything in this country
compatible to our soil, climate and re-
sources, but schedules should not be
so high that domestic producers can
combine and exact unjust tribute.
When the price of an article is arbi-
trarily increased, foreign competition
should be invited. Let honest compe-
tition be the leveler Of prices. In that
event the tariff is not a tax.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.

NEVADA RepreSentatiVe.J
Probably the most damaging thing
that this legislature has done has been
to pass that educational board of con-
troll bill, and its worst sin of omission
has been in not passing the bill for
the creation of an insurance depart
ment. Perhaps the greatest virtue of
the Legislature has been in the large
amount Of further mischief that 1t
might have done and has omitted to
do. 1t has been very decent legisla-
trre so far. but not record ibreaker
in any particular.

HAVE LAW ENOUGH NOW.
ICedar Rapids Republican,


We have, we believe, a fair law, q
law under which prohibition can be
made state wide, so soon as the peo-
pile are brought over to that view and
we believe also that the people have
been educated in that direction during
the past few years. We believe that
within ten years, with the present
progress along these lines, we will
have prohibition in practically every
part Of Iowa-,we have 1t now in two
thirds Of the state-and that without
additional law on the statute books.
