Production and Population.

America has 30 people to the square
mile. Germany supports 35O Eng
land once grew an average of 10 bush
els of wheat to tie acre. Now Eng
land grows 80 bushels, but it took so
years of effort to make that increase.
America cannot begin too soon to
increase crop production. We con-
sumo 61s bushels of wheat per head.
Last year we produced only e64, 900, 600
bushels.
Production and population nearly
balance now. What will we do when
our population in 1850 reaches 2OO,-
600, 600.
All the land that can be reclaimed
by irrigation will only suffice for our
increase in population of two years.
Our fall of exports of wheat is con-
tlnuouS. We need to learn good farm
ing.
Maine now produces the largest yield
of wheat per acre; Maine does it by
good farming methods. We must fol
low where the agricultural colleges
and experiment stations lead; we must
learn crop rotation, live stock keep
ing, the use of manufacture feeding
of soils.
Holland has 454 people to the square
mile and only 26 per cent. of them
in towns. We have 81 per cent. of our
people in towns. Holland is nearly
self supporting. Holland grows more
than double the acre-yield Of wheat,
potatoes and dairy products, compar
ed with the United States. Denmark
has 60 per cent. Of it's people on farms.
From that tiny kingdom is exported
176 900, 600 lbs. of pork and IT'S, 600, 600
lbs. of butter. Heredity is lnflexlble,
James Hill thinks. Trained men
should be sent to farmers to demon
strate to them how to grow better
crops. Take the agricultural colleges

Congressman Martin has taken up
the question at Washington and is in
hopes that favorable action can be had.
The local business men canvassed
the situation here and have assurances
that local citizens will take care of
the ANIMALS should they be brought
here. Ten miles west of town is a
large open park surrounded by pine
grove and with running water and
plenty of grass, and entirely suitable

A Boost for Home Bred Horses

The Live Stock World of Chicago is
Offering a Thousand dollar futurjty
stake for yearling colts of each of the
four draft breeds, Percheron, Clydes-
dale, Shire and Belgian horses. This
should encourage our home breeders.
1t is we'll known that so far as stall
lions are concerned and even mares
too, of some of the above breeds
American enterprise has long since
drawn on the best the old world had
to offer. If stations are worth from
two to five thousand each it is high
time American breeders were getting
in on some of these top notch prices.
The Live Stock World stakes will be
added to by entry fees donations from
state fair boards, importing companies
and breeders associations. These
will be pulled down at the big fairs
of 1911. Much credit and honor IS
due the World for taking the initia-
tive in such a move.

Harriet D.. Brownell was born in
Washington Co., New York, July
9, 1887. At an early age she came
with her parents, to Rockford, Illinois
and in 1856 they came to Greeley,
Iowa, locating on farm just west

James E. Corell, Jan. 9, 1882, and
moved to Fayette county, settling on
farm, where they lived until 1891,
at which time they moved to May
nard. Her husband died July Z, 1903.
The deceased was the last of fam
lily of seven children, all of whom
have preceded her Ito that better
world. She passed away September
90, aged 70 years, 2 months, IA days.
She was a loving and devoted wife,
kind and obliging neighbor, ever
unmindful of self, she thought only
to render assistance to those around
her and it sorely grieved her many
friends that her declining years could
not be spent with those she loved.

SOME EPIDEMIC PARALYSIS
NOTES.


1t is of interest to note that the
state board of health has issued a
bulletin in which is stated the fact
that the degree of susceptibility to
contract infantile or epidemic paraly-
sis is low. Only about 6 per cent of
exposed persons develop the disease
as compared to IL per cent for Dip
iberia, % per cent for scarlet fever
and nearly 80 per cent for measles.
I In Washington, d. c., where there
has been an epidemic of the disease,
an epidemic among the chickens in
that city and vicinity was also in evil
dence and an investigation was made
on the supposition that there may
have been some connection between
the two. DR.. Schroeder, "a fowl d.
sease expert, issues a statement to
the eject that epidemic paralysis is
an infection which cannot be traced
to fowls.
In that city they have adopted the
rule of barring from school all chill
dren who have within three weeks
been exposed to the disease. They are
Obliged to remain away from school
for two weeks.

CARROLL AFTER DoLLlvER's
SEAT.
Indications Are That the Governor

Indications Are That the Governor
Plans to Gust Iowa's Tai
ented Senator.
Political observers have lately
awakened to- the fact that Governor
Carroll is threading the neutral path
between the progressive and stand
pat lines for no other reason than to
pave the way for his candidacy to the
U. S. Senate. Ridiculous as this may
appear to most everyone it is doubt
less the serious aim of Carroll. C.
T. Roberts, who is now in Iowa writ
ing a series Of articles for the Chica-
go Examiner on the political sitna-
ton in Iowa said in recent letter:
There is one particular reason why
Carroll is not meeting with encourage
ment from either standpatters or in
surgents. He is not only candidate for
reelection, his friends say, but he
has his eye on the Senatorship two
years from now. In the meantime,
he will keep silent as to whether he
is an insurgent or standpatter, and
this has led his enemies to say that
Carroll is for Carroll at all times and
no move will be made by him that
will not have for its object his ad-
vancement politically.
The United States Senate is his OBJ
iective point. He is so anxious to
get into that body that 1t is admitted
he has already began to manipulate
things 50 as to make Senator Dolli-
vers reelection impossible and his
own certain. But Tiers are other
candidates for the Senate who will
not take the Governors ambition as
seriously as he does himself.
Congressman Walter I. Smith, the
Cannon candidate for Speaker Of the
House of Representatives, IL 1t is re.
publican, will be candidate for Sen
ator two years from now. He is the
man upon whom the standpatters are
basing their hopes Of regafning con
troll of the Republican party. This has
alienated many standpatters from Ca,
rolls support.
Delivers Friends Anaered.
| Friends of Dolliver are also saying
some harsh things about the Governo
entering into contest against DOLL
yer, who they say, has made nam.
for Iowa in the senate. This ambition
OF the Governor is causing no end o
friction, and his cry for harmony i.
charged to be for the purpose Of aid
ing his election to. the Senate.
He is striving to wipe out the divi1
ing line between the standpatters an,
insurgents, it is charged to knife Do
liver and Smith when a next Senate
is chosen.
