Attendance.

tary of War Stimson, personal repre-
sentative of President Taft.
Former Vice President Fairbanks
praised the work of the congress, and
added:
1T is not inappropriate to observe
that the conservation of our political
fabric must not be left out of consid-
Grafton. This is matter we must al
ways hold uppermost in our minda
lest we allow harm to come to our
priceless heritage. Partisan utterances
would Of course, contravene good
taste, and / shall not offend against
it. but may suggest with propriety
that we should hold fast to the funda-
mental principles of republican gov
eminent which have been our guar
anty of liberty and human rights, and
of orderly progress for a century and
one-quarter. We should not be quick
to surrender the present well-tried
guarantees we have of justice, and the
rights OF men for the theories which
neither upon good reason, nor expert
ence are commended to our best
judgment"
President White in his address said
the conservation congress had as
"it's labors, the betterment of it's citi-
zens in every way"
Human life is our greatest asset
and its waste is a permanent loss"
he declared "The wealth OF the ma

Forecasting an industrial section to
be built from the ground up, the Mis-
sissippi River Power company today
exercised its options taken some time
ago ard bought the land on which
tho options expire today, located near
the mouth of the Des Moines river.
The land alone costs over 100000.
II is in excellent typographical con-
dition. including level land on the
lower, railroad level for factory sites
and plenty of room for operatives

Result Of Careful Study.

Result OF Careful study.
Both the water-power company and
the Industrial Association Of Keokuk
have spent much time studying the
creation de novo of Industrial cities
and sections and it is planned to build
this one according to the most salts
factory models. The water-power COM
pany finds 1t necessary to plan a
complete industrial section of large
size as a preliminary to the location
here of the factories which will use
the power obtained from the Missis-
sippi by a power house producing as
much electric current as half the out
put of all five companies on both
sides the international boundary at
Niagara falls.
Another tract in another direction
from the present Keokuk is under
options which do not expire until
1913. This is the tract between the
Mississippi and the north road about
which there has been no recent ac-
ton.

TO OUR FARMERS.

Having called attention to the ad-
vantage OF selecting seed wheat at
this season, farmers must not
overlook the possibility Of smut
which is so prevalent in some sec
tions OF Maryland,
In gepenal the smut spores which
as rule, are attached 10 the grain
when sown, terminate at the same
time as the seed, the fungus enter
ing the young plantlet in which it
develops unseen until about the
time the grain is beginning to head
when the flowers or grain become
filled with a mass of delicate threads
which mature their spores for the
infection for the next.
There are two classes: the stink
ing and loose smuts and the loss and
deterioration from same is very con-
siderable, but can be avoided by
treating the seed wheat with solu-
ton of formalin, particulars for
same can be furnished by the State
Experiment Station at College Park.
Every county in the State should
forward samples OF the best they
can produce, whether grain, tobacco
fruit or flowers, for same will not
only be educational but will adver.
tise your vicinity and help crop i'm
provement in other sections in the
State.
Having sent your exhibits. be
sure to visit Baltimore to see no W
they compare with those from other
counties and you will probably
learn something to carry home with
you even II you do not take prem
