Iowa Seeks Lower Express Rates.

The railroad commission has decided
upon an aggressive campaign
for the reduction of express rates and
issued an order asking all shippers,
merchants and others interested in ex-
press rates, including commercial clubs
and organizations to send to the COM
mcrce counsel before October 18th, all
information they possess on the sub
ject of express rates.
The commission intends to take this
up with the interstate commerce COM
mission and make fight there for the
reduction of rates. The commission
has also set November End as time for
a rehearing on the order of the board
fixing the minimum weight for carload
shipments of live stock. The railroads
have asked the case be re-opened.

New Catholic Diocese of Des Moines.

New Catholic Diocese OF DeS MONIES.
The official notice of the division of
the Davenport diocese in accordance
with the request Of the bishops of the
province of Dubuque and the elevation
of Dies Moines to see city, has been
received in Davenport.
The official document reads:
Apostolic Delegation, 1911 Balti-
more street, Washington, D. c., Aug.
81, 19l1.--Rt. Rev. Dear Bishop: By a
letter dated Aug. IA, 1911, his emf
hence, Cardinal De Lai, secretary Of
the Sacred Congregation of the Con-
sistory, informs me that the said Sac
red Congregation has decreed the di-
vision of the diocese of Davenport, and
the erection of Des Moines according
to the request of the bishops of the
province. Sincerely yours in Christ.
D. FALCoNIo.
The question of the division of the
Davenport diocese and the establish
ment of new diocese with Des Moines
as it's see city, was first duly consider
ed at meeting of the bishops of tire
province of Dubuque. They sent a Pc
tition to the Sacred Congregation of
the Consistory at Rome, embodying
views and setting forth the rearrange-
ment of counties necessary for the
carrying out of their proposal.
The next important step is the ap-
pointment of bishop. The bishop ap-
points his vicar general and his chan
cellor. A meeting of the three suff-
ragan bishops and two irremovable
rectors will make nominations. Ordi-
nary procedure will not be followed in
the selection of bishop for the new Des
Moines diocese.

1ov.,s Coal Production.

The total production Of coal in Iowa
in 1910 was 1928, 100 short tons, valued
at $l9, 9O3. 9l3, an increase Of 17O,35s
tons in quantity and of 81. ll0,2S5 in
value over the figures for the preced-
ing year, according to statement just
issued by E. w. Parker, coal statisti-
clan of the United States Geological
Survey.
The benefit derived by Iowa coal OPP
orators from the strike in the Illinois
field was principally in eliminating the
competition of Illinois coal from the
comparatively local markets, which are
the natural territory of the Iowa mines
Coal operators in Iowa have complain
ed that Illinois coal has more favorable
freight rates than those accorded to
Iowa coal. and that the mining rates
originally fixed to compensate differ
ences in freight charges have not been
changed when freights on Illinois coal
were reduced, so that the Iowa mines
have been placed at a disadvantage.
Tn. statistics for 1909 indicated an i'm
provement in these conditions, for the
production was the largest in the his
tory of the state, and prices were the
highest in recent years. In 1910 the
idleness in Illinois reacted upon the
Iowa production more in the way of
still higher prices ithan by any marked
increase in production. Apparently
the only reason assignable for the COM
paratively small increase is that the
mines were operated to their full ca
pacity with the available supply of
labor. That there was no exodus from
the Illinois mines to those of Iowa is
shown by the fact that fewer men
were employed in the Iowa mines in
1910 than in 1909. There were some
strikes, but they were not az protrac-
ted as in Illinois, and the total time
lost was only about 10 per cent of the
time worked. The general strike
which began on April LIST lasted in
Iowa about six weeks, whereas in IL
linois it lasted practically six months.
Coal was mined in % counties of
Iowa in 1909 and 1910.
The Iowa coal mines gave employ
ment in 1910 to 16, 666 men, who work
ed an average of 2lS days. Of these
men 900 were on strike during the
year, the average period of idleness
being "a days. The average produc-
ton per man was 476 tons for the year.
Most of the mines of the state are op-
Grated 8 hours a day.
Iowa probably ranks second among
the states west of Mississippi river in
order of priority as coal producer.
At the census of 1910 Iowa and Mis-.
souri, were the only states west of the
river in which any coal production was
reported. Missouri, however, was
credited with an output of nearly TO-
600 tons, while Iowa's production was
given at 400 tons. Iowa's total coal
production to the close of 1910 has
amounted to nearly 1874, 500, 900 short
tons, which including the estimated
loss of half ton for every ton recover
ed, represents an exhaustion of ap-
proximately 247, 600, 900 short tons. The
original supply of coal in Iowa as esti.
mated by M. r. Campbell, of the Uni
ted States Geological Survey, was &c.
l6O, OOO, 900 short tons from which it
appears that at the close of 1910 over
q, 900, 900, 600 short tons, or little
over 80 per cent of the original supply
was still available.

Tuesday, in hall in historic Boston,
after lunch, with 1000 persons present
from all the United States, some parts
of Canada and England, quartette
composed of Waterloo singers sang
Iowa" Could you ina Line anything
more humiliating than after the con-
clusion of the song and after the sp-
plause had died away to hear the dele
cation from Maryland begin singing
their state song, Maryland, My Mary
land" to the same tune? Iowa had
stolen the tune of Maryland. The
words of the Iowa sorg were written
around this tune. Our song was an
imitation, base theft-what wonder
that it left the Iowans standing shame
faced after the real owners started
upon the first strains of their official
state song.
Yes, Iowa needs a state song. One
full of sentiment; one with touching
words and tune; one with music tune

pays 70 -nog GOWN corn.

IL pays 10 nOS DOWN cOrH
That is no longer matter of
guesswork. It has been thoroughly
demonstrated by the feeding expert
ments recently conducted at the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment Station un-
der the direction of John NJ. Evvard,
experimentalist in animal husbandry.
Shoats turned into a field of ripe
standing corn, especially if there be
with it supplemental crop like cow
peas, soy beans, rape or pumpkins,
will take on weight faster than those
in the feed lot, and they harvest the
corn and feed it with less labor and
larger profit for the farmer. They
do their own husking, they distribute
their own manure, they eliminate
hauling and storage of corn, they
save the time and labor of feeding,
and they become good rustlers and
through exercise become strong and
vigorous. Moreover, the experiments
show that when hogs are brought
from the field to be fed out, they may
be finished off at one fourth less cost
than the hogs taken from the dry
feed lot.
The complete results Of the Iowa
station experiments are not yet ready
for publication. They will be given
out later in q bulletin under prepare
ton by Professor Evvard. But all
these facts taken from the records
of some hundred young hogs make
clear the value Of "hogging down."
In 1909 four lots of shoats were
turned into four different fields, one
of corn alone, another of corn and
COW peas, third of corn and soy
beans, and a fourth of sweet corn and
soy beans. The pigs were carefully
weighed and the value Of the corn in
the field was carefully estimated on
the basis of the cost of labor, rent of
land, etc. At the end of the test the
following results were shown:
