A FAIR DEAL WANTED.

The corn acreage in Brown county
was the largest by far ever planted.
Inc assessors made a report of this
acreage and it is in possession of the
department of agriculture, both of the
state and general government, and the
average per acre will be made from it.
But, this way a true report of the corn
raised, will not be obtained. There
should be reduction of the acreage
planted, made and then the average
taken of the remainder; the corn that
was really raised. There are thousands
or acreSin the county which were plant
ed to corn that produced none, that did
not come up, were destroyed by insects
out and dried out. So the proper and
more accurate way to arrive at the
amount of corn raised in the county and
the average per acre, would be to place
column in all reports, in which to set
down the amount of abandoned acre
age. For instance, take the total acre
age of corn planted, and deduct 20 or
% per cent for corn planted that made
nothing and was abandoned. In this
way the average per acre would show
up 40 or As bushels.-Hiawatha World.

When the commission reports the
cause of the high cost of living we
may expect something like this:
The high cost of living is because
there is such a lot of stuff in the cold
storage plants. Because the farmers
don't raise so much and buy too
many autos and own too much bank
stock. Because the people eat too
much. Because the comet upset
everything. Because the hens lay
smaller eggs. Because the cows have
too many germs in their milk. Be
cause the insurgents won't stand pat.
Because the Democrats are going to
capture the next house and elect the
next president. Because it takes so
much money to prosecute the graft
ers. Because the people Kick on the
tariff and the trusts. And because
well, just because.-Parsons Eclipse.
