Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 26.-Hon. Carl
FRANKIE. OF Parkersburg, chairman Of
the republican campaign committee for
Iowa. stopped over a day in Des
Loines on his way from Council Bluffs
where he had been for the purpose of
rendering his services in the pending
congressional campaign in the Ninth
district Mr.. FRANKIE placed at the dis
posal of the committees in charge all
the information relating to organiza-
ton which the state committee has.
and as the state committee last year
completed one of the most perfect or
CARNATIONS ever made in Iowa this
will be OF value in the short cam
paign just ahead.
The situation is good in the Ninth"
said Mr.. FRANKIE. The republicans
VIII win. They have excellent COM
rlittees and are organizing for an eff
fective campaign in the short time at
their disposal. All that is needed is
TO get the voters to the polls and they
will vote right.
Judge Greene, the republican candi-
date. is receiving assurances from
every part OF the district of earnest
support from all the republicans. In
formation from the east end of the
district-Guthrie and Adair counties
IS to the effect that Judge Greene's
majority will be above the avera ge of
republican majorities IN those coun-
lies. None of the republican leaders
estimate Greene's majority in any
county as reduced from the majorities
given for his predecessor.
County superintendent Of Iowa will
learn something OF that which is be-
ing done for Iowa boys and girls in
the teaching of agriculture at the
state college at Aues. They will do
this because under new laws the study
of elementary agriculture is going
right into the rural schools Of the
state. Hence the convention OF county
uperintendents which met here a few
days ago will be convened again at
Ames June s to consider what is nee
essarv in the teaching of agriculture
and how to get at the new require
rnents in regard to this topic. The
superintendent will make a study of
the subject right where the most is
known about 1t and confer with heads
of different departments and the short
course and extension instructors.
State institution herds of dairy cattle
are now believed to be entirely free
from tuberculosis. The state has been
a heavy sufferer but has set an excel
lent example for others. Losses have
been incurred at practically every
state institution for the prevalence Of
bovine tuberculosis has become alarm
ing. Practically the entire herd a In
dependence has been wiped out twice.
ard the state has lost hundreds of
heads of cattle. All along the policy
of the state board has been to insist
upon retaining only dairy cattle entire
~ free from any faint and for several
years inspections have been made reg
ularly two or three times every year
Because Of this policy the tuberculosis
animals have now all been killed and
the herds are good. 1t has also beci.
found wise to cease to purchase ami
mails from other states but rather 10
make purchases near at home or to
raise the animals.
". 3. Barney. state food and dairy
commissioner, is greatly plea with
the manner in which the creamery men
OF the state have taken hold Of his plan
for the grading of cream. He Dromui-
gated an order fixing the three grades
Of cream in Iowa, designating what
shall be regarded as belonging 20 each
one of the grades, and had printed his
order on a big yellow card with fac
smile of the seal of his department
and these have gone out to the buyers
Of cream in the state. The reports are
that generally the grading he has fixed
has been adopted and that cream buy
ers make a difference of 8 or cents
as between the first and third grades.
This tends to encourage the marketing
of better cream and will ultimately
have the effect of improving the quail
ity of cream in the state. The plan was
SO admirable that other states have
since done the same thing and Missouri
not only copied the order as to grading
verbatim but printed the official notice
in exact imitation of Iowa.
