rue CONVENTION NEWS.

Tho Associated Press, greatest OF
rewr gathering agencies, never did
better work than during the repup-
i,can national convention in Chicago
last week. An army Of trained report
ers gathered the news for the Asso-
GATED Press; editors OF wide expe-
Renee and perfect grasp OF the politi,
cal situation assembled this news and
nrenared It for the wires; instantan-
eous service was given, over the leased
wires and the convention news was
flashed simultaneously to waiting
crowds before newspaper bulletin
boards all over the land. The Asso-
ciated Press succeeded in giving the
neople at home clearer grasp OF con-
yention activities than was possible
for one on the ground to secure.
Through the success Of the efforts
OF the Associated Press in handling
the news of the last ten days In Chi
caRo the Courier by means OF us
leased wire service was able to give
the news to it's patrons in record
breakfng time. The same organization

convention at Baltimore this week.

IOWA ONIONS PROFITABLE.

Intensive farming Is being practised
more and more in the state OF Iowa
and additional results are being gain
ed thereby. In the current issue OF
the Farm and Fireside, a contributor
refers to the productiveness OF Iowa
soil which now threatens to pass the
5000 an acre mark. An interesting ex-
ample is seen in Pleasant Valley town.
ship of Scott county, where the
pioneer in the onion raising industry
lives. He Is H. Schuetter, now retireo
from active farming life. From 1919
to 1894, the contributor writes MI
Schuetter devoted from fourteen 10
nineteen acres to onions every Year
and kept an accurate account OF the
Weld. When he retired, his son, +. +.
'Schuetter, succeeded him, and has al
SO kept a close record of cost and pro-
duction.
Continuing the writer in the Farm
and Fireside says:
"The ninteen year record OF the
father shows that the average YIELD
under his management was 1926 busheis
rer acre, and the average price re-
ceived, 43 cents. The figures OF the
son, kept from 1895 up to the present
time. show that during these last
years the average yield has been 49O
bushels, and the average price, 40
cents. The cost Of production for the
same period amounted to about $40 an
acre a year, leaving profit OF $loo
to the acre. BY reason Of his success
in embarrassing, Mr.. Schuetter has not
only been privileged to turn down an
offer Of $1,000 an acre for his land. but
to set an example which many OF the
farmers In his vicinity have emulated
with great profit to themselves.
BEST scientific methods are being
used by all growers. The fields are
kept perfectly clean, as the onion
smothers easily. BY using the same
soil for the crop year after year the
land has become 80 free OF weeds tnat
it is now kept clean with little ditf1cul'
ty. Once each summer the farmers
flood their fields with a formaldehyoe
solution to prevent blight. Every sea-
son a small portion of the land Is set
aside by each grower for the raising
of his own seed, and on this part OF
his field he plants the best bulbs Sc
lected from the crop of the season be-
fore. Careful selection Of the bulbs
for seed is one Of the chief reasons for
the size and quality Of the Pleasant
Valley onions.
when harvest time comes all OF
the unemployed men and boys IN the
township are put to work in the fields
Pulling, cleaning, drying and prepar.
ing the onions for shipment. Most OF
the crop is shipped out Of the valley
through the County Fruit-Growers as

NOTHING BARRED THIS YEAR.


The echoes Of the fight in the demo.
cratic party between the radical and
conservative forces have reached
iowa. The fight first made its appear
nnce over the selection by the national
committee of Alton B. Parker Of New
York for temporary chairman, fight
which Mr.. Bryan took to the floor OF
the convention. The democratic breth-
rem are showing signs Of getting as
warm under the collar as the republi-
can wheel horses did last week. This
moves the Burlington Gazette, one OF
the Iowa democratic dailies. to pro-
test. The Gazette says Iowa democrats
do not like Bryan's attitude on the
temporary craftsmanship, and pro
,nounces it ill-advised and dictatorial.
Last week." said the Gazette. I'VE had
the spectacle Of a would-be dictator In
the saddle at Chicago. The democratic
party wants no dictator and will
accept none" Go to it. gentlemen,
Nothing is barred in political scraps
this year but the strangle hold.

izations representing opposing govern
mental policies.
The republican party has weathered
the storms OF half century and has
maintained it's right to be called the
party of progress. Any discussion OF
men and their theories cannot dis
place the proven fact. This Is that
during the almost unbroken half cen
fury during which the affairs OF this
government have been administered
by the republican party, this republic
has progressed beyond any other
country on the globe In business OF
government and the enlargement OF
Individual opportunities to every
citizen.
No one man is responsible for this
condition, though many men, notable
among them President Taft. have wise
ly administered the powers OF leader
ship given them by the people. 1t was
the settled, progressive policy OF the
republican party, hewing straight 10
the line of governmental policy upon
which this country's greatness was
based, that brought this government
to it's period of greatest usefulness ana
broadened the individuals field Of en-
deavOrs. -
To say that any movement that
seeks to place men above measures IN
this republic can be successful, Is to
question the Intelligence Of the people.
Willing ear might be lent to such an
idea when the heat Of passion sways,
but calm reflection Is certain to bring
the matter home to the peoples sober
sense and to show that the only dan
ger that confronts us is the threat OF
democratic ascendency-ther reversing
and upsetting OF proved successful
policies for the experiments and
theories which have brought disaster
to us before.

President Taft has been renoml-

before the November election. The
situation will take on different
aspect in the next few months. The

tween men, gradually will shape it.
