Great is Iowa.

Clinton Herald: notwithstanding
the fact that the year 1909 was the
most unfavorable crop year in long
term of years the value of the sew
eral crops will reach almost, IL not
quite, to the total of the value of the
crops of last year. Leading experts
of the state now estimate the value OF
the 1909 crop at about four million
less than the value last year. The
farmers of Iowa have learned a great
many things during the past few
wears or else this would not have been
possible They have learned to take
advantage of every opportunity, and
when the chance of.raising one crop
is gone they Immediately begin plan
ming for the planting of the ground
to another crop. They are making
the most of everything, and each
year witnesses some improvement
Great indeed is Iowa when in an un
favorable crop season she can pro
duce crops to the value of almost
four hundred million dollars.

nenosit Guaranty.

Chicago Tribune: There is wide
gap between the deposit guaranty
fund which Oklahoma has accumulat-
ed and the amount due the depositors
of the state bank whose doors have
Just been closed. One is 100000 and
the other is 100000. If the depos-
itors were to demand their money
Immediately the banks which are
working under the guaranty law
would have to stand special assess
ment of 100000 That would bear
hard upon MANY of them. SO there
is already a protest against the levy
ing of the assessment.
The bank failed because 1t had
loaned far too great proportion oil
its funds and some of its loans were
on insufficient security. The Okla
homa guaranty deposit scheme has en-
couraged reckless banking and the
organization of an unnecessary mum
Der of banks, bidding against eacf
other for business. Now one reckless
bank has gone to the wall. The ad
vocates of the deposit guaranty plar
should hope that more may not fol
low. If they were to do SO the STATE
would be hard put to it to redeem it
pledge to depositors.

Speaker Cannon.

Iowa City Republican,. The an
that Joe Cannon was
to appear at the home coming cele-
bration at Knoxville, Iowa, was the
cause of much comment and even
critics from the insurgent press of the
state. Mr.. Cannon was permanent
chairman of the national convention
that placed Roosevelt in nomination
for President, he is the speaker OF the
house of representatives and is the
party leader in the house. He has
never assumed any position which did
not meet with the approval Of large
majority of his party associates in con-
gress. He is in full accord with the
President on political and legislative
affairs and in no way has he ever been
the recipient of any kind of criticism
from Republican President or Re
publican legislative body. But here In
Iowa we have men and newspapers
that are feeding the people upon such
attacks upon Cannon as tleir maltg
nifty may suggest. The question o.
fairness or even truthfulness never
hothers the insurgents.

Boone News-Republican: In the
meantime Commander Peary has been
Boosting ever since he reached civil
ization that he has Cook nailed"
We want to see the nail. The ham,
mer is plain enough, but it takes nails
to make a hide stick up on the wall.
Bare statements of what Peary is go
ing to do to Cook have become a
plethora. 1t is time to get into the
ring and do some knocking out. The
doubt about the discovery OF the pole
is getting on our nerves. If you have
the proofs handy. gentlemen, please
put them where they will do the most
good. Otherwise the world will get
sceptical on both counts. Anybody
with fur coat and a hacked beard
can claim to have got there. Data
and records talk.

The Minnesota BARRIERS Association
is seeking to solve the farm life prob
lem by writing inquiries TO thousands
of farmers and practical authorities
throughout the state on the theme of
how to keep young on the farms The
gist of the answers is summarized
as follows:
Cease holding up city people to
them as ideals.
Get the idea out of their heads OF
country school pupils that they are
to be physicians. lawyers or mer-
chants.
Teach agriculture In the public
schools of the country districts.
Create pleasanter home surround
ings. and build better roads.
These are solid recommendations
al of them, and worthy of general
consideration and adoption.
