made to prove the efieacy Of the
serum treatment. Farmers should
also be taught and encouraged to pro-
vide better quarters and insure more
cleanliness In tbs care OF this animal.
When the disease breaks out In any
locality, strict quarantine should be
enforced, the sick should be sepa. ated
from those not yet affected, and no
time lost to treat the entire herd.
This is work that our national gov
eminent should assume, and with a
fixed determination should ascertain
the cause and. II at all possible. sup
ply the remedy. To this end congress
should make most liberal appropria-
tions to educate men for the work OF
Graduating this disease and thus add

Conclusion.
Recognizing, as we do, the import
ance of the work outlined by the
Permanent American commission,
and the benefits that may be secured,
not only by the producer, but by the
consumer, the former by increased
production at less expense and the lat
ter by lowsr prices through co-opera-
ton with the producer, we have, in
the foregoing report, endeavored to
point the way to better realization
of the possibilities in Iowa.
We must educate the boys and
young people en- our farms in the
principles of scientific agriculture,
thereby creating an interest In the
work, and instill into their minds the
great truth that the farm affords op-
portunity for res sarch and improve
ment second to no other vocation.

Cooperation Serious Need.

Another very serious need of the
farmers of the state of Iowa is to
learn more generally the advantages
of cooperation. They are, indeed,
Ireaping the benefits Of cooperation In
some instances, namely, in mutual in
tsurance, cooperative creameries and
cooperative elevators. But the great
body of farmers OF the state are
strangers even to these, excspt the
first The western farmers grew up
in isolation on the different farms
each family seeking to produce as
| many of its necessities as was DOS
Isible Self-dependence was almost
the predominant and all-important
virtue. When other lines of activity
developed mutually, cooperation, anc
finally concentration, then the farm
er still held to his individual efforts
and therefore has fallen behind III
the race.
The advantages of cooperation and
concentration in all business activ
titles are certain and bring sure re
ward. The farmer must master then
and appropriate them to his business
or else he will degenerate towar,
peasantry. Nothing is more certain
than this. But his training and habi
OF thought has been in the opposit
direction. Hence it will be slow an
difficult task to'have him take &C
vantage of this truth.

THE SPELL OF CHRISTMAS.
They are shaping little wonders
In million cozy homes,
Dainty fabrics void of blunders,
Drawn work, bead work, bags for
combs,
Lace creations, ribbon marvels,
Burnt dreams, paintings half sub
bli1ne-
Gentle fingers all so busy
For the coming Christmas time.
There are secret conversations
That some other must not hear,
There are puzzling speculations
Falling on a friendly ear;
And the air Is rife with murmurs
In each christian peopled cline
Laughter sweetenet voices planning
For the holy Christmas time.
Father must not be forgotten
Mother must remembered be
With keepsake wrought or brought
en-,
Kin afar and babes on knee
Each and all heir to token,
Something touched by love that's
prime,
Bnblems as from that dear savior
Who was born at Christmas time.
With our giving. o my brother!
Let us give bit of self;
Without heart gifts only smother
Human longing are but pelf,
While some homely thing and faded
May be glorious sublime,
If loves golden kiss is on 1t
At the holy Christmas time.

Land tenancy


The most obvious of these needs is
| the recasting of the present system
of land tenancy. At present 40 per
cent of the farms of the state are oc-
cupied by tenants. Most of the
leases run for but one year; few
are for three years, and some for FIVE
years This system Of short term ten
ancy is bad for the landlord, worse
for the tenant, and worst for the land.
The general practice of farm tenan-
cy takes but very little into account
the all-important factor of retaining
Ior improving the fertility of the land
No structures too severe can be en-
lployed to condemn the very general
practice of depicting soil fertility.
! The greatest offender is the landlord.
1t is within his power to bring about
a change The tenant Is compelled,
| because of high rent and the short
term lease, to wiring from the land all
possible returns. He cares but little
for returning any fertility back to the
Isoil, because next year. doubtless, he
will move elsewhere. Such a system
iof tenancy robs the land, deprives
the landlord of possible returns. and
destroys in the tenant the interest he
should have In the soil, the buildings
and other improvements 1t makes
him careless as to the claim of the
school, the church, the roads and gen
J eral neighborhood welfare In short
lit makes of him, against his will, per
lhaps, citizen who cannot discharge
his high duties as a member of th'
commonwealth.
We need laws, both federal AM
state. that will compel consideration
of the land in all leases, making /
the chief factor of Importance, to b
followed later by the claims of tn
tenant and the landlord. We nee
mandatory laws providing for CON
pensation to tenants for improvement
both of the soil and of buildings. An
then we need laws and general prae
. tice providing a sane, rational and IL
! telligent system of land tenure, whic
must place first in importance tn
claims of the land

DIES MONIES, Dec. 5.--Governor
Geo. w. Clarke recently appointed a
committee to investigate the needs OF
agriculture in Iowa. The members
OF the committee were John Cownie
Iof Des Moines; Eugene Secor of For
est City, and f. d. Steen, of West
Liberty. A comprehensive study OF
conditions and needs was made by
these men and their report has just
been forwarded to the governor. The
report follows:
The governor of the state of Iowa
has asked this committee to outline
briefly some of the agricultural needs
of the state, which needs, we here
with set forth along lines of produc-
ton, distribution, cooperation, mar
keting and credits.
Best Lond on Globe.
The 35,000,000 acres Of land of the
state taken as whole is body of
more uniformly good land than can
be found anywhere else on the globe.
1t reaches within 200 miles Of the
greatest grain and live stock market
Of the world It's eastern and its
western boundaries are two mighty
rivers capable of bearing immense
tonnage of navigation. 1t is crossed
by a number of the trunk lines OF
very important railway systems. Its
soil, rainfall and climate are such
that, since its settlement by white
people, no serious crop failure has
been experienced These same con-
ditions operate to make It possible
for most products of the temperate
zone to be produced here in abund-
ance. Iowa is the very center of the
corn belt and excels in the produc-
ton of that cereal. Its people are in
dustrious, law-abiding and intelligent,
and will compare favorably with peo-
pie of any other part of the world.
Notwithstanding these many adj
vantages, the agriculture Of the state
has needs of very far-reaching char
acter.

DREAM WAS AT
LAST REALIZED i /:
An abandoned Task Becomes The
Greatest Victory of The
-. Centuries

The abandonment of work on the
Panama canal and the admission by
the French that the task was beyond
them, created a worldwide impress
sion that man was defeated in his
attempt to make reality of an en-
gineer's dream. Modern genius soon
demonstrated that the work could be
satisfactorily completed.
The pyraminds are a worlds won
der; the Eiffel Tower is marvel of
engineering skill; the latest ocean
liners are wonders Of the ship-build-

the croWning physical achievement
of all time.
The Panama canal is the principal
subject of discussion to-day. In the
