IOWA CATTLE.
What the Grand Old State Produces
in the Cattle
Line.

Notwithstanding it's area OF 265,-
7 so square miles is five times that of
Iowa's 56,025 square miles, Texas
has only one-third more cattle on its
farms worth in the aggregate only
one-twelfth more than Iowa. Next
to the Lone Star state with grazing
land that represents an empire, Iowa
is the greatest cattle state in the
union.
A preliminary statement of the
census bureau giving the number OF
cattle on farms of the United States
shows the value of Iowa cattle as of
April Is, 1910, to be $11S,99l, 600.
The total number of cattle is 4,46S,-
422, divided, 1,404,429 dairy cows,
56G,991 calves and 2,496,O12 all
other kinds. The value of Texas
cattle is S129, $4,000. the total num-
Der being 6,721,502, divided 1.011,-
2O4 dairy COWS, 7O9,663 calves and
500 1851 other.
Eight other states report more
than S50,000,0O0 each as the value
of cattle on farms. There are New
York, $S3.016,000; Kansas, $780,
.1S4,O0O; Illinois, s73,37S,0OO; Ne
braska, s73,O49,O0O; Missouri, $751;
.732,OOO; Wisconsin, $67, 100000;
Ohio, $51,S7O,000 and Minnesota,
$5O,S46,0O0. In the ten states men
toned the total value of cattle on
farms is $SOO,O0O,e00 or 5S.S per
cent of the value of all cattle on
farms in the United States. The cor
responding total for these ten states
in 1900 was $3.50, 100000, or $50
per cent of the value of cattle in the
entire country at that time.
In 1900 New York held seventh
place in the list of states with re
spect to value of cattle, but in l9l'
advanced to third place. Kansas wa
third but is now fourth; NebrasK;
was fourth, and is now sixth; Mis-
souri, was sixth, and is now seventh
Illinois was fifth, Wisconsin eighth
and Ohio ninth in the order at Dot
censuses. In 1900 Pennsylvania he'll
tenth place, but 1t now is eleventh
while Minnesota has passed Okla
homa, South Dakota, Indiana an
Pennsylvania, and is now tenth.
In dairy cows New York with l
50S,O72 and Wisconsin with 1,47l
sol both outrank Iowa. The Badge
state has 449,4S9 calves and 757,OS
other cattle, the total number on he

NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.
Thirteen Varieties of New Designs
Now Being Issued by
Uncle Sam.

DEBORAH will soon be given its
quota of the thirteen new designs Of
postage stamps that are to be put
into circulation. The new regis
try stamp already has been received
at the local office. Before 1t was put
into use, letters were registered
when a sufficient number of two
cent stamps were put on the envel-
ope. The new stamp cannot be used
for any other purpose than registry.
In the new designs, instead of
Franklin's face appearing on the one
cent stamps, the face of Washington
will appear on all six stamps of the
lowest denomination. The five high
est denominations being those Of the
s, 10, Is, so cent and 81 values,
will bear the face of Franklin.
Besides the face of Washington on
the one cent stamp, the mineral -
will displace the word "one." The
new two cent stamp will carry the
numeral 80" in each of the lower
corners. On the stamps Of the 3
4, 5 and s cent variety the wreath
surrounding the head Of Washington
will be eliminated and the denomina'
ton printed in a curved line above
the head.

The Pension Roll.

1t is surprise to find from the
official figures, that, forty-six years
after the close of the civil war the
pension roll amounts to more than
100000 and has diminished by
only little more than 100000
during the year. The number OF SOL
diers on the roll at the close OF the
fiscal year was 570,05O, dependents
and widows, 351,642; survivors or
the civil war, 32,259 having died
during the year. The average age oil
survivors is now about seventy years
AS to the charge that the pension roll
Is honey-combed with fraud, careful
investigation during the year has
disclosed only twenty-six cases oil
improper pensioning. The last pen
sioner of the revolutionary war. the
daughter of a revolutionary soldier
died during the year, at the age OF
ninety.

CORN CROP NEAR LIMIT
Yield For 1911 Third Largest i'm
History of Nation.
ILLINOIS HAS LARGEST CROP.
Government Crop Report Gives
Interesting Statistics From
Various States.

The full effect of the drought and
intensely hot weather of the last
summer vas reflected in the govern
ment crop report today. 1t showed
that the production of corn in the
United States, which at the begin
ming of the season promised to ex-
coed the bumper crop of last year,
was smaller by 349,41S,OOO bushels
than last years crop.
Notwithstanding this great de-
crease in production the crop this
year goes down as the third largest
in the history of the country, having
been exceeded only by those of 1910
and 1906.
The crop reporting board of the
Department of Agriculture estimates
the principal crops from reports of
correspondents and agents of the
bureau as follows for the United
States:
Yield Per Acre
Corn, bushels .......23.9 PA
Buckwheat, bushels ...21.3 zoos
Potatoes, bushels 500 94.4
Flax seed, bushels 49,. IL As
Tobacco, pounds SS5.2 1918
There were decreases in produc-
tion in all of the principal corn grow
ing states, excepting in Ohio, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania, Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama. Illinois led in production
and Iowa and Missouri maintained
their standing as second and third
states.
Potatoes showed a falling off of
81 ,067, 0G0 bushels. Only Wisconsin
showed an increase in their produc-
lon. Flax seed was about the only
principal crop showing an Increased
this year, about half
again as much as last year having
been grown. The crop, however, was
less than any in the past ten years
except in 1910. The increased pro-
duction was mainly in North Dakota.
There was a striking decrease in
the production of tobacco, amounting
to 196,00O,O00 pounds less than last
years crop. In Kentucky alone the
loss was III, 100000 pounds and in
Virginia and North Carolina it was
25, 100000 pounds each. In Pennsyl-
vania and Wisconsin the crop was
or loo ~
age yield per acre for the entire
country, SS5.2 pounds, was greater
than during any time in the past
ten years.

IOWA'S BOYS LIKE SCHOOL.
Little Over One Per Cent Violate
Compulsory Educational
Law.

Iowa has more boys in its public
schools than girls.
During the year ending June 80,
1911, there were 339,319 male stud
ents between the ages of 4 and 21
years enrolled in the public schools
of the state, while there were only
332,792 female students.
These figures are taken from the
annual reports of the county super
intendents that are being compiled
in the Office of A. M. Deyoe, state
superintendent of public instruction,
for his report to be published soon.
According to the report, there are
27,149 teachers employed. OF this
number 1850 are men and 24,589
women. The average salary paid to
the schoolma ans is $48.14, while
the average compensation of their
brothers engaged in school work for
the state is S79.23.
The average daily attendance dur
ing the year was 361, $50.
The average enrolment for each
of the ninety-nine counties of the
state was 6,7S7.6.
There are 1901 school houses in
Iowa, of a total valuation of $780,
111,646. In the libraries of the
schools there are 1,12S,96S volumes
In 1858 rooms during the period
covered by the report the effects OF
tobacco and stimulants were taught
The average tuition paid was
$3.50.
Although the laws of the state
provide that all children between the
ages of Z and IA years shall attenC
the public schools, the report show:
that there are 5,726 children be
tween the ages fixed by law wht
should be attending school, but ar
not. In every county there are SOM
children out of school in violation o
the law.
When the fact Is taken into con
sideration, however, that this tota
number of violations of the law i
only a small fraction over one pc
cent of the total number of children
attending school, the record is sail
to be a good one.
