compensations If cranks can be re-

The same measure has also given the

of Life by stopping the rate cutting and
the cooperative people now hold a
considerable position Of advantage as
compared to previous existing condti-
ditions.
Now if the farmers have enough
cause for complaint against the rail-
road commissioners to ask for an en-
tire change in the makeup of that
board, how about the rest of the people
who have been clamoring for redress
from wrongs that should not exist? If
they can bring any pressure to bear
upon the commissioners that will cause
them to sit up and take notice of the
demands of the public, when such de-
mands are in opposition to the wishes
OF the railway magnates, the majority
of the people will be quick to applaud
them for such an act and they can not
get to work on the matter any too
quick. Just SO long as the railroad
companies can manage to dictate in
large measure who are to become
members of the board there is small
probability of any radical changes be-
ing made in favor of better acconlmo-
dationS for the public.

THE SHORTAGE OF SUPPLY,

There is no better time to consider
the question of underproduction than
during the short course. Our surplus"
Of farm products for foreign shipment
is at present much more like an over
draft than a certificate of deposit.
Prices are abnormally high because de-
mand is excessive and the supply short.
And yet we have not had crop failure.
We have raised the average amount of
food stuffs on our farms. Jim Hill is
mand is justified by conditions. But
more farmers on corn lands, producing
the same amount of foodstuffs that are
being produced by fewer farmers now
means simply division of farm prof
its, not a greater supply of food stuffs
or lower prices for necessities.
We must raise more stuff We must
fertilize the lands better, farm them
better. We do need more farmers if
more farmers mean better farming and
q dividing of acres instead of dollars
worth raised on the acres. We need
the forty acre farmer whose brains
and skill and labor shall multiply by
four the production of the acre. We
need greater production, and lower
prices, not underproduction and higher
prices. Imagine the marvel of wealth
that the doubling of production would
mean to the state of Iowa,
We are a transition state between the
old time farmer who raced over 100
acres of corn at top speed, was salts
fed with a magnitude of operation and
a paucity of return and the modern
FARMER whose aim shall be to get the
last ounce from the opportunity of the
soil and the climate; between land at
$25 an acre and farms at $500 or $500
or even $500 an acre; between under
production and full production from a
mighty soil titled under trained hands
and minds, scientifically, carefully and
fntensively. We must fertilize even the
soil Of Iowa, we must cultivate it like a
garden. Beyond the mere annual returns
Of money which the world pours into
the lap of the state in exchange for her
products there is an ethical response
bi1ity upon the corn lands as the gran
airy Of the world. The opportunity is
our and we must accept the response
bility.

gone to aid struggling little colleges

vestigation-valued at $170,500,0 900,

discharged from the smokestacks;
S,64o, 900 tons thru the discharge of Gin
ders and sparks; 100000 tons thru
radiation, leakage of steam and water;
2,SSo,o00 tons thru unconsumed fuel in
the ashes: and 100000 tons thru the in
complete combustion of the gases. In
addition to these heavy losses the rail-
road consumed 100000 tons in firing,
getting locomotives to trains, backing
trains in and out of sidings, and in
keeping up steam while locomotives
were temporarily idle. These losses
amounted to 80 per cent of the coal
purchased by the railroads during 1906.
1T would be impossible to effect a
saving of all the fuel that is now
wasted in the manner mentioned

centage of loss could be prevented by
more scientific utilization, and by the
exercise of greater care in the operation
of locomotives and trains. In 1906
