PROTECTING THE FARMER

What has caused the state of Iowa
TO decrease 1852 in population since
1900? Secretary Wilson has told us
that the tariff is making the farmers
prosperous, and yet thousands have
moved away from this prosperity to
seek other and mere inviting fields.
Is it possible that the bleak prairies
of Northwestern Canada. where corn
will not ripen, offer better prospects
for successful farming than the rich
lands of Iowa?
The fact is. Secretary Wilson is mis-
taken and the farmers know it. else
why their intense demand Tor real
tariff revision The only Iowa farm.
ers that the tariff helps are those who
raise sheep, FOR they benefit b. the
tariff OF l. cents per pound on wool.
But there were in 1909 only 747.OOO
sheep in Iowa Csee yearbook of the
Department of Agriculture. p. 1867.
and the number is decreasing; Tor &C
cording to the same authority there
were 100000 sheep of shearing age
in 1905 tsee page 1922. which shows a
reduction of $1,000 in one year.
In these same official statistics inc
price Of sheep on the farm appears to
be declining; for i'm 1905 the acreage
price in the United States is quoted at
S3.SS per head. while i'm 1909 the price
had declined to $3.43 (sce p. 1921.
This does not indicate that the farm
ers are getting their share OF the pros.
perity which the Republicans assure
US is due 10 the protective tarif. Even
their sheep and WOOL on which they
are protected do not seem to be ad
ding to their prosperity; and on moth.
ing else than wool is the Iowa farm
