"The Official canvass of the votes
cast November 8 makes me realize
anew the fact that the republican
party did not share any too bounti-
fully in the recent election" said Lew

county central committee. We, like
numerous other republican county
committees suffered from the demo-
cratic landslide, and OF course am
disappointed Our county ticket was
made up of strong men, but strong
men have suffered defeat before. Our
turn will come two years hence. There
is some consolation found In our sue
cess in the judicial and congressional
districts and in the township and
state tickets, and look for this good
success to feature the whole republi-
can ticket in 1912"
The fact that the sixth congressional
district returned Hon. N. e. Kendall

creased majority, when no other dis
trict in the whole United States In
creased its majority over 1908, Is q

FARMERS Want
men TOHuSK CORN
THERE is "a SHORTAGE OF CORN
sHuskERs AND THE FARMERS
ARE IN a DILEMMA. "
MACHINE HELPS IN WORK
Patent Device Which Picks and t1usks
the Grain and Hoists II Into
Wagon 10 Proving Aid In
Harvesting Crop.

Farmers of Wapello county and
southeastern Iowa are looking for la
borers to help them husk their corn
crop. With the corn husking season
in full blast, the usual shortage OF
huskers is worrying the farmers. The
same condition exists all over the
state.
Although the farmers offer from 4
to 5 cents bushel for workers the
demand increases instead OF de-
creases. The demand, however, this
year is not as heavy as it has been in
the past, say those in touch with the
situation, owing to the increasing
popularity OF the husking machine.
The farmers have not yet come 70
maintain general belief in the ma
chine, but 1t is evident they are be-
ginning to realize it soon will become
necessity.
In speaking of the influence Of the
hnsking machine, a Wapello county
farmers said: THE husking machine
is q godsend to the farmers Of this
country. The time has come when
artificial labor will have to be used in
husking corn, as it is absolutely inl-
possible to get men to dc it. At the
present time have an order for
thrity-five men to husk corn. ! have
offered cents bushel for their
work, and have even gone to Az
cents, but they do not want that kind
Of work"
Big Wages Demanded.
Not only are the cornhuskers scarce
on. the market, but the price which is
being demanded by the experienced
i, - 49,
the average farmer. Five cents a
year ago. with corn down and smaller
in size, the average husker had some
seventy-five to eighty bushels to his
credit by nightfall, this year tho
average day is 100 bushels. The rapid
huskers even care for more Of the
grain.
The corn crop this year, according
to reports, is far superior to that OF
1909 The conditions are much better
than they were last year for corn
husking. The early SHOWS in 1909 were
q great hindrance to the farmers and
the hired labor. 1t required greater
period of time to do the husking. and
the result, was that the men hired to
do it went away with q grudge against
the work. The corn fields at the pres
ent time are pretty sight. The corn
stands erect and tall and in ideal con.
dition for the patent husker which is
fast revolutionizing the most trying,
season known to farm life.
The latest husking machine, which
is great improvement over the prev
ious ones, is carried through the corn
field by four horses which pull 1t
astride of each row, the wheels in
motion furnishing the motor power.
The corn is picked from the stocks
of the row over which the machine
passes. husked and carried by an
elevator to wagon attached When
the wagon Is filled 1t is removed,
driven to q granary. and another re.
places 1t. s

"A BLOW TO THE FoRkED STICK.
The United States geological survey

A BLOW TO THE FORkED STICK.
The United States geological survey
has just issued a report by M. L. Full
Ter entitled Underground waters for
farm use." In this report, the geo
logical survey says in an advance bull
letin. Mr.. Fuller enumerates the
various kinds of rocks and deposits
that contain and convey underground
water, describes the several types of
wells, and discusses measures for the:
protection Of springs and wells from
pollution. The advance notice states
that the report also will contain sec
tions on methods of we'll boring, the
use Of cisterns, the advantages and
disadvantages of different kinds of
wells, and the location and cost OF
wells. All OF this information doubt
less will be valuable to the man who
has bored well or is about to bore
. well, but the report will contain one
item that is Of general interest. This
comes under the head of "divining
rods" and concerning this subject Mr..
FULLER says:
No appliance, either mechanical or
electrical, has yet been devised that
will detect water in places where plain
common sense will not show its pres-
ence just az well. The uselessness of
the divining rod is indicated by the
facts that 1t may be worked at will by
the operator, that he fails to detect
strong water currents in tunnels and
pther free courses that afford no sur
face indications of water, and that his
locations in regions where water flows
In well defined channels are no more
successful than mere guesses. In fact,
Its operators are successful only in
regions where ground water occurs in
! definite sheet in porous material. In
such regions few failures to find water
