Iowa leads in cattle, dairy and beef
breeds, for every farm in the state
supplies some additions to the list
In recent years there has been an i'm.
mense increase in the number of pure
bred dairy cattle, for the dairymen
are coming to realize that only the
best give profits such as they would
like. One great influence in this di-
rection has been the annual State
Fair, where liberal prizes are offered
for cattle, and where the finest dairy
and beef herds of the country are
shown. The cattle exhibit at the
State Fair has no rival in the country.

CHEERING FIGURES

Census Bureau.

According to summary made by

sus figures just made public Southern
manufacturing is now producing goods
to the value OF at least $4,000. 900. 900
annually. or more tn n twice as much
as in 1900. and more than three times
as much IS In 1890. twen.y-onc years
ago. The increase in the value of
manufactured products in the South
between 1900 and 1909 was about equal
to the actual value IF such products
in 1900. In tina twenty years between
1880 and 1900 the annual value of
the products OF manufacturing in the
South increased 2l9 per cent. while
the increase in suck value in the rest
of the country was 1875 per cent. Since
1900. although there has not been us
wide a divergence in the rates of in
crease in the annual value Of manu-
featured products in the South and
in the rest of the country. the rate IS
still much greater in the South.

Commenting upon the fact that CEN
sus figures show that farm lands in
Virginia have doubled in value in the
last decade the Richmond Evening
Journal says
This is only the beginning of what
Virginia lands will be worth in the
years to come. People who have been
land poor only need to hold their
lands a few years more to become land
rich
That Is a rather curious proposition.
What has made Virginia land worth
double as much in 1911 as 1t was in
Sl0? The fact that large land own
ers have sold off to small farmers who
have improved the lands. made them

NEW YORK, March 29.-In spots
there was great strength displayed. On
the whole the leaders were not as well
maintained as on Tuesday. The oppor-
tunity for taking in a small profit was
taken advantage of by many who were
buyers earlier in the week. Profits are
considered very desirable these days
for they have been few and far between
so long that they are welcome when
they do show up. The takers of profits
are perfectly willing to get in again on
slightly reduced levels and are there
fore working for the slight break neces-
sary. The short interest and foreign
buying seems to have constituted the
chief reason for the advances of Tues
day. The use of London as an aid to
making higher prices was wise because
the floating supply over their Ameri-
can securities is light and advances
easily follow any kind of support
Banking interests and some of the lead
ing commission houses maintain orders
at slightly under market rates and are
advising the purchase on reactions.
The strength Of the market yesterday
was gratifying and many factors make
for a continuation of strength, chief of
which is the marked disparity between
the rates on money and the returns on
good stocks. The elimination of a GER
tain short interest yesterday will make
for caution in commitments awaiting
what next Monday may bring forth
Everyone expects that the trust deci-
sions will be handed down ct that time

Washington Is Next

The establishment Of a postal savings
bank in Washington is expected to be
the next advance Of the system. The
signation today of forty-five additional
postoffices makes it plain that the sys-
tenn is already regarded as a success.
Alexandria was one of the offices Sc
lected for postal savings bank, and
will bring the system close to the Cap
ital. Its establishment there will not
meet the demands for one Of the insti-
tHtions here, the Postoffice Department
thinks, so it is believed Washington will
soon be equipped with one of the Of

the Rev. C. s. Biggs, pastor of Monu-

Church in Baltimore, said today in
reference to his sitting in" a game
of poker in collecting evidence to be
used in crusades against alleged
gambling dens in the neighborhood
of his church.
The Rev. Biggs Is attending the ses-
sions of the Baltimore conference at
Douglas Memorial Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Eleventh and H streets
northeast, and other members of the
conference have asked him many
questions about his recent experience.
Some of them do not approve the

he said, in reference to a game in a
place in Baltimore. He said that he
hadn't played before in twenty years,
and that he got into the game the
other night altogether by accident.
At one time, he said, he made the
game so sticky that other persons in
terested-proprietors and players
began to look warily upon him and
wonder just what he was doing there.

Mr.. Biggs opened jackpots without
jacks-a paradox and an impossiblIIty.
