There are always plenty of can

WILL PROPAGATE CLANS.
Beds Along North McGregor Being
Filled by Government Experts.

North McGregor, Ia, Nov. 4.-The
government fisheries boat, the Cur
lew, Captain Crashier in command,
has been here the past week at work
up and down the river. They are
doing special work for the propaga-
cation of clans.
During the several years the clam
fishers have been taking the mussels
from the river the Mississippi river
clam beds have become depleted and
the government fisheries are now en-
deavoring to renew the depleted beds.
The process is the result of much
study and Careful experiment. They
raise the clans from the water, ex-
tract the spawn which is thrown in
to the tanks of fish; there they at
tach themselves to the gills OF the
fish, where they cling until some
size, when they drop off into the river
and take care of themselves.
Extensive experiments have been
made at the La Crosse government
fishery the past two years and the
practical work is now begun.

MANY SHORT COURSES.
More Than 100 Dealing With Agri-
culture to be Held i'm Iowa
This Season.

More than a hundred different
agricultural short courses" will be
held in Iowa the coming short course
season. Never before has this work
been so perfectly arranged and prep
arations so we'll made for an extern
sive campaign for the upbuilding of
Iowa agriculture. The work which
has been done at the State college
the past dozen years in the depart
ment so long and ably directed by
Dean Curtiss is coming to its fru-
ition now with a program which in
clules the carrying of the benefits of
the college extension work into al
most every county of the state.
There will be the coming winter a
great many 2-day short courses in
the state. This is an innovation.
They are to be held in towns where
the work is new. 1t will give the
people a taste of the short course
work and probably lead to a full
2-weeks school later.
This scheme of having 2-day
courses will also get the work start
ed in more than half of the counties
where nothing has ever before been
attempted. When Prof. w. ]. Ken
nedy took charge of this college ex-
tension department this year he
found that 81 of the 80 counties of
the state had never had a short
course at any time. The work had
been confined to less than half the
counties of the state. Next winter.
more than half of the counties that
never had it before will get some of
the instruction.
There will be during the winter
forty persons engaged in the work
of this college extension, the largest
number on record, for the work has
been steadily growing and it de-
ponds for its success upon team work
and supplying the counties with
abundance of Institutional material.
A far larger number of the people
of the state will be reached than
ever before.
The correspondence course work of
the college is also going forward
splendidly and great results are ex-
pected from this. Nearly 5000 per-
sons are even now practically taking
the correspondence course work, but
a perfect course is in preparation for
which a small fee will be charged.
About 300 rural school teachers are
now on the lists taking coruse in
agriculture and receiving all the in

MONEY FOR POSTAL SERVICE.
Nearly $1O,OOO,OOO Increase Is Re
quired to Put Into Effect New
Postal Regulations.

For the support of their postal
service, the people of the United
States, next year will pay $283,8O5,-
$50, far more than any other branch
Of the government service. Esti-
mates forwarded to the treasury de-
partment by Postmaster General
Hitchcock of appropriations necessary
to the operation of the postoffice de-
partment during the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1, 1913, propose an in
crease of $12,OS6,909 over the ap-
preparations for the current fiscal
year.
Mr.. Hitchcock is the first cabinet
officer to complete his estimates,
which aggregate $2S1,791,50S for
postal service at large, exclusive of
S2,014,260 for the department in
Washington.
Nearly $40, 100000 of the increase
will be required to put into effect the
postal legislation enacted this year
1t is estimated that s7,240,000 will
be needed for the parcels post sys-
tenn; $1,350,000 to meet the con-
ditions required under the new eight
hour law; $750,00O to provide for
the Redistribution of railway mail
clerks, and $150,00O to establish the
new village free delivery service.
Only $2,60O,000 is added to cur
rent appropriations, representing an
increase of less than one per cent,
which is the lowest annual rate of in
crease in the history of the postal
service.
