Des Moines, March LIN this time
Of high prices for livestock, Iowa's
supremacy in the livestock field Is
more marked than ever before. The
Hawkeye state leads all other states
in the number and value of her farm
animals. The figures up to Jan. J,
1913 have just been announced by the
United States department Of agrtcui-
ture.
The total value of Iowa livestock
Jan. l, 1913, was $685., 4S2,O00. The state
exceeds her next nearest competitor,
Illinois, in the value of her livestock
by s55,492,OO0.
Iowa leads all OF her sister states
in the value of her horses and also
in the value of her swine. She is first
in beef cattle with the exception of
Texas. She leads all of the corn belt
states in sheep but does not have the
sheep that many Of the far western
states show. In all lines Of livestock.
however, she is SO strong that the sum
total surpasses that Of any other state
in the union
iowa's Swine Worth sos, 100000. :
All Of the swine in twenty -eignt
states of the union do not equal IN
value those of the state of iowa. The
territory which includes all Of the
north Atlantic states and all of the far
western states, has swine to the value
of s1O1,SS4,000, while the swine OF
Iowa are valued at $1O4,640.000. In
fact Iowa has more than II per cent
of all the swine in the entire United
States and in value they amount to
more than II per cent. Iowa's popu-
lation is only two and a quarter mil
lion while that of these tWenty-elsht
states is more than 100000.
Second in Beef Cattle.
Beef cattle are comparatively scarce
in Iowa. now, as is the case thruout
the entire country but the Hawkeye
state has more beef cattle than all OF
the north Atlantic states combined.
She now has over s6,0o0,o00 beef cat
tie on her farms. The annual market
ing of beef cattle at the seven prin-
cipal markets of the United States
amounts to 100000.
Prices for livestock are high. Horses
in Iowa are averaging now s12O per
head, while the average price in the
past ten years has been s9s per head.
Beef cattle average 333 per head while
the ten year averages is 1920. Swine
averages $12 per head here in Iowa
while the ten year average has been
$3.50 per head.
These figures show that Iowa live
stock products go long ways toward
feeding the world. And this, too. at a
time when the demand is great and the
products scarce.

COCKTAILS AND THE CANAL.
Haskin's Book Tells Story Of the
Selection of the Builder.

How Col George w. Cocktails was Sc
lected as the chief engineer Of the
Panama canal is story that few people
know President Roosevelt had seen one
civil, engineer and then another bite the
dust OF defeat while wrestling with
cumbersome organization. Then he de-
cided to put army men down there. who,
he said, would have to stay put, since he
would not accept their designations.
Maj. George w. Cocktails had visited
the isthmus with Secretary Of War Taft
several years before, had written a forti-
fications report that was the comment Of
the army. and then had furnished Secre
tary Taft with the draft of a report in
favor of a lock canal that was regarded
as q gem of its kind. Furthermore. his
experience as builder Of locks and dams
as member Of the Engineer Corps had
stamped him as one of the foremost
men in the engineering world. The de-
cision that Goethals should head the
work at Panama was reached after
conference between President Roosevelt,
Secretary Taft and Chief of Engineers
Mckenzie. and no one was more sur
prised than Goethals when the President
informed him Of his appointment.
