Red Clover.

Ames, Iowa, Oct. a., Specialized
clover is under investigation at the
AGRICULTURAL experiment station OF
Iowa State College,. 1t is not pro-
ducing seed satisfactorily and the
agronomy section of the college in
co-operation with the U. S. bureau
of plant industry is trying to find out
why. When it is all over, the bum
BILE bee may find himself ousted from
his time-honored job of pOllenisor i'll
chief to the red clover and the deslr-
ability of artificial methods of pol
lination established.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture says that the investigation OF
clover pollination is the largest ever
undertaken, but it is of note for a
larger reason. 1t vitality concerns
the soil conservation problem in
Iowa, and elsewhere.
| Red clover is the cornerstone OF
agriculture in this region, but the
red clover acreage is not increasing
very much and that is a dangerous
situation. Farmers are not adding
to the clover acreage because the
price of seed is so high. The regu-
lar annual shortage of seed has
forced it up as high as SIS a bushel
and it has been in excess of $40 for
two or three years. There is an an
nual shortage because clover growers
DO not understand the pollination
problems and it is to this that the
experiment at the state college is
devoted. More seed will mean cheap
err seed, and cheaper seed will mean
more clover acreage and that is what
the college is after. 1.-The soils of
Iowa cannot be kept fertile econom-
ically unless the present acreage Of
clover is increased ten, yes, twenty
times" is the way Prof. w. H. Stew
enson puts the need. Moreover, if
seed can be produced successfully
practically every year, it will make
the farmer some money and make
the growing of crops in rotation more
profitable than now. Crop rotation
is the most important factor now in
1owa's soil fertility problem"
Red clover seed production is ham,
pered by the unsolved pollination
problems. There have been many
conjectures as to the dependency of
clover on outside pollinating agen-
cies like the humble bee and other
insects and the possibility of artificial
or mechanical pollination. The true
relation of these factors, however,
has never been determined and that
is what the Iowa State College inves-
tigators hope to do.

Passing of The Veterans.

Rear Admiral Schley's death is a
fresh reminder that, if the civil war
was fought by young men, the con-
trary was the case with the Spanish
war. OF the distinguished naval
commanders Dewey survives. Samp-
son, Taylor, of the Indiana, Philip,
of the Texas, and all but one of the
commanders of Dewey's ships at the
battle of Manila have died. In the
army the mortality has also been
great. Shafter, Otis, Lawton, Mer-
rift, Ludlow, Guy Henry, Joseph
Wheeler, Fitzhugh Lee, Hamilton S.
Hawkins, (the real hero of San
Juan), and Henry c. Corbin have al
so passed away, leaving not half a
dozen names which the reading pub
lie would recognize as those of lead
ing actors in the drama of thirteen
years ago. On the army side, Gen.
Miles, now ~, who has been eight
years on the retired list, is the best
known survivor, if we except the COL
onel of the rough riders. Gems.
Brooke, Young, CHATTER and Near
thur, all of whom attained high rank,
are also retired officers, as is Gen.
oA0o II. "AASOu, VIII udu0 d ud"S
for himself forty-six years ago as the
captor of Jefferson Davis Rear Ad-
miral Schley was SO years old when
he commanded off Santiago, an age
which some people say is too great to
bear such responsibilities. But
Sampson was So, and most of the
battleship commanders were close to
60. Yet the work of not one of these
was questioned on the ground of
efficiency and effectiveness, save that
of. Schley. Young men might have
done better, but those veteran cap
tains were all men who had learned
to fight in 1S61-1S65, and had never
forgotten their lessons. Such diff
ference have the years made since
our war with Spain that if we should
have hostilities now there would be
only four veterans of the civil war
on duty in the army and none in the
navy, while the commanding officers
would be men who were either cap
tains or lieutenants in the regular
army or lieutenants in the navy of

- IOWA: HER POPULATION.
An Interesting Bulletin Issued BY
The Census Bureau.

The census bureau at Washington
has just issued bulletin dealing
with the population of Iowa. The
census folks do not concern them
selves with possible reasons for
changes in the density of population,
increases or decreases. 1t is the mis-
sion of the bureau, simply to count
noses and report the result. And
this has been done in very thor
ough and satisfactory manner. The
bulletin is really interesting and val
liable. There is comparison with
the last three federal censuses, which
is worthy of study. And there are
diagrams, which show at a glance,
what is disclosed in another way in
the tabulated statements.
The first of these charts or dia-
grams shows the increase or decrease
of population by counties, the de-
crease being shown by a blank, while
the increase is shown by shaded
lines. The white spaces are very
much in evidence, and in some of
the counties the decrease has been
as high as 10 per cent, and that in
the richest state of the union, where
the crops never fail and the price of
land is constantly rising. Quite a
number of counties, among them Des
Moines, show an increase of less than
S per cent, while Blackhawk, Monroe
and Polk have increased between 25
and so per cent. Scott, Woodbury.
and CerrO GOrdo have increased Is
to 25 per cent.
The second diagram deals with the
rural population and shows that
there are only nine counties in the
state in which the rural population
has not decreased.
The third diagram shows the den
sity of population per square mile
Des Moines and Lee are among those
counties that have between As and 80
person to the square mile. OF course,
that is not very definite, but the exact
figures are found in the tables, and
it suff1ces for purposes of ready COM
PARSONS.
The fourth diagram shows the
density of the rural population,
which shows marked uniformity.
In ninety-seven counties the rural
population varies from Is to As per
square mile. In two it is less and in
Monroe county the figures went be-
yond that general average.
No doubt, the bulletin will be a
welcome find for local statisticians,
who will study it carefully and try to
make it prove any one of a large
number of things that have hereto
fore been urged az the cause for the
falling OF in the rural population of
the best agricultural state in the un-
ion. r.-s-,,

RECORD CROWD SUNDAY
Fully 2,5ea People Game Out Co Hear Evangelist Culpepper
 Last Night.

Last nights crowd was the rec ord breaking one of the Culpepper revival meetings. It was estimated that fully 2,5Oo people came out to hear the great evangelist talk. Hun dreds could not find seat under the big tent and were compelled to leave.
 His talk was one of unusual in- terest, it being founded on the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus. All through his talk it was his aim to show how there was a good and bad side to all things; that to obey the laws of God and man was to be good; to disobey was to be bad and suffer.
 A good crowd turned out also yes- terday morning. A larger part of the time at this meeting was taken up in taking a collection, and near ly $500 was subscribed.
 It was announced that the meet ings, would close Tuesday night, but at that time $200 was raised to keep the evangelists here another week.

Dallas, Tex, July 2i.-Returns from the statewide prohibition election thus far received gives against the amendment 236,66S and for it 230,63i, an anti-prohibition majority of COST.
 The unreported vote is too small to make it possible for the anti majority to be overcome. It seems that in the final count it will be something in excess of 5000.
 Chairman Thomas H. Ball of the state -widers admits that they have lost by something less than 6,000 votes, but charges many negroes and Mexicans voted on tax receipts furnished them by the saloon in- terests, and believes that a contest will be started on tho prohibition question again to be submitted.

HARMON INVADES bRYAN'S STATE
His Personal Representative Arrives in Lincoln T0day-EffOrt to Be Made Not to Give Endorse

Fremont, Neb., July 25.-A boom for Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio for the Democratic nomina- tion for the presidency in 1912 has been started as the Nebraska state convention assemblies.
 Ben Chamberlain, private secre- tary to Senator Atlee Pomerene, and personal representative of Governor Harmon, arrived in the city shortly liter midnight and immediately iaunched a campaign for the candi- lacy of the governor.
 Mir. Chamberlain came with let ter to Mayor James c. Dahlman, who has been supporter of the executive as presidential candi- date.
 After several conferences lasting until a late hour there was evil dence that the rival factions had not yet united.
 So far as concerns the platform 10 be adopted the point at issue is the demand of William J. Bryan's friends for representation on the resolutions committed and their de- sire that the platform contain com nendation of the thrice Democratic presidential candidate.
 Those who have used their ut most efforts to eliminate trouble say that, unless Mir. Bryan's supporters permit the plans mapped out by the party leaders to go through, split is likely to result.
 Situation Is Intense.
 The situation among the dele gates to the convention which met 1t 2 o'clock this afternoon is most intense, but the leaders of all three factions are trying to prevent 9 clash.

 Galveston, because of its surf bathing, boating and fine fishing, is one of the grandest seashore re- sorts of the world, and is attract ing more attention for pleasure seekers every year.
 In addition to these and innum- erable other regular attractions, in- cluding the wonderful sea wall, the Third Annual Cotton Carnival, with it's great industrial exhibitions, will be in full blast during the time of this excursion.

YOUNG MAN BOOTLEGGED
Robert Bentley, Aged 17 Years, Fined $50 and Costs--Partner
 Escaped.

Robert Bentley, age about 1T years, who came to Mena a few days ago with another young man, who is now many miles from Mena, was arrested Thursday night by officers and was fined $50 and costs Friday by Police Judge Lindsay, on a charge of selling Iiq- uor illegally. He will work out his time, as the money he had with him, amounting to about Si, was kept to supply him with tobacco and other things he might need while a prisoner.
 It is thought that the unknown man left on a train for the south. Officers believe he was the princi- pal offender and that young Bent ley was simply his assistant.
