in the agricultural practice of that
section. in addition to perfecting q
number of farm implements. Starting
at the age of 35 with $25, 900 which he
had made in business, he bought 26c
acres of land in Georgia, and by tho
application of business principles he
increased the productivity of the SOL
MANIFOLD. He devised the method If

ed seed selection and developed the
first prolific variety of cotton. known
as Dickson's cluster. He was also in
ventor of the Dickson sweep pillow
adapted for sandy soil and which AT
the same time lessened the number OF
burrows necessary in cultivating 1,

\ shows white on the mAo whess the
shaded portions show the states that
are included in the rAOiiiy STSwsnx
''registration area"
In 1850 Massachusetts and Nsw Jef-
sey were the only states that collected
vital statistics systematically. In 1890
all of New England except Maine had
Joined the procession. In 1900. Maine
Indiana and Michigan had fallen in
line. In 1911. nearly all the states cas-.
OF the Missouri and north Of Mason
and Dixon's line are in the registration
area. Iowa and Illinois are the two
conspicuous absentees. Out west Col
orado and Utah. Montana and wash
ington, and California have beaten us
to it,
So most Of these states figure in the
interesting tables that tho census
bureau presents, bearing upon the
public health Of the country. Iowa's
contribution is nil. We have no basis
of comparison to determine whether
more people are being born, more are
living thru infancy, or to old age. or
diving from preventable diseases, than
in other states.
1t is time that Iowa got out OF the
rut and commenced to collect its vital
statistics as every state must DO that
wishes to make its fair contribution to
the array of facts and figures on which
important work for the public health
must be based.
