more politics. The women's clubs In
the towns accomplish about as much
as the mems clubs do and don't cost
third Of the money.
Whenthe Iowa women are to be est!-
mated for their public worth base the
estimate on the ladies' aid society.
That's where women have had full sway
and swing. I. has been her main or
ganization. And 1t is the biggest win
ner of any organization in town, any
town. IT accomplishes more with less
and with less fuss than any he outfit
In the business. It says it will raise so
much money and raises it, 1t starts
something and finishes it.
When the women break into public
life on an equality they will do lot
of things that mere man has figured
out as impossible. And they will do
it without turning the town upside
down or fighting in the streets. When
they start out to get money they'll get
ii. When they start to get action thru
city officials they'll get VIVA, they go
after or knew the reason why.
Let's quit worrying over the Iowa
woman. She's worth worrying about
but there's no need of it. 1t is borrow
ing trouble. She always has taken
care Of herself and managed US and a
little thing like the right to vote isn't
going to change her much.

The young orchard should be culti-
waited as carefully as n field or garden
crop. The first year after the trees
are set out they should have the most
careful cultivation while they are
making new root growth, and becom-
ing established in their new soil home.
Frequently young trees are set out
rather late in the spring. With these
the ground must be stirred frequently
and a soil mulch maintained to con-
serve the moisture at their roots. Fall
ure in this matter OF keeping the low
er soil from drying out will result in
variab!y in some dead trees later in
the season II dry weather comes.
Another thing must be considered
with young fruit trees In making a
successful start the first year. The
tops should be severely reduced to les
sen foliage surface exposed to sun
and air. Only small amount Of fol-
iage Is needed the first season OF
growth: A chance must be given for
large expansion OF root area. The
large top draws heavily on the mois-
ture supply frequently in dry times
| more than the few shallow roots can
supply. The large, leafy top IL apt to
eyaporate all the moisture from the
young tree when the soil becomes dry,
which means death In many cases
young shoots and a large mass OF fol-
iage will grow during the spring and
early SUMMER. The young orchard
should be gonerover carefully. and SUP
plus shoots promptly removed before
they sap the vitality OF the trees.
During the first two or three years
some culttvatedecropa may be srovn
in the young orchard - well - not.

blow to the state fair, and would not
consider 1t matter OF particular con-
Germ had the courts decision been bas-
ed upon the question Of reasonable
ness. II the Iowa railroads would take
that extra half cent and expend it in
improving the quality Of service to the
state fair. in furnishing more and
longer passenger trains at fair time, 1t
would help the attendance at the state
fair more than would the reduced
rates. Crowded trains and wretched
service keep more visitors away from
Des Moines at fair time than will an
extra half cent mile fare. II the
railroad commission can force the rail-
roads to give ordinary good service
upon this extraordinary occasion 1t will
do more for the state fair and for the
fair going public than If 1t eventually
wins victory for the fair In the mat
ter of excursion rates. The only real
reason why the state is justified in
asking for one and a half cent rate
at fair time. is because at that time
tho railroads give one and bali
cent service. Iowa is a wealthy state
and able to pay two cents mile. But
IL we do. we should demand and en-
force two cent service.
However. the injunction granted the
railroads is not based upon ques-
ton OF RESPONSIVENESS. but question
of power. The extent of the states
power of rate control has been attack
ed and limited BY the decision, and for
any other in our own judgment, the
fight should be carried to a finish.

the Iowa City Republican. These I'M

"the Bird inst was the twenty seventh

ANsCoNT1NENrAL THE ONLY
CHANCE.

Nevada Representative
The Register and Leader editorially
laments that as compared with any
route across Iowa the automobile maps
are showing the route across Missouri
from ST. Louis to Kansas City with
too black line. In other words at
tention is called to the fact that
whereas the main route of travel from
ocean to ocean has nearly always
been across Iowa there is a disposition
TO divert the increasing volume ut
automobile travel further to the south
Apparently the Register and Leader
thinks that Iowa ought to be doing
something about it. AS matter Of
fact somsthing is being done about
1t in Story and Boone counties by put
ting the TranScontinental highway in
apple-pie order; but the fundamental
trouble about the Iowa situation is
that the great newspapers Of the state
are largely interested locally in try
ing to boom the River to Rive. road or
the Great White Way-both OF them
roads that will do we'll enough for
local and interurban travel but Meth
er OF which is available or ever can
be so as part Of an ocean TO- ocean
route. What Iowa needs is to have the
great Iowa papers that are interested
in having a great road across Iowa quit
treating the matter as loca! propo-
sition but help to get Iowa as state
behind the only road across the state
that is susceptible of being a rival to
the Missouri route. Iowas one and
only chance in the rivalry to which the
Register and Leader calls attention is
the Transcontinental route, and a
sound road policy for the state viii
treat rhe Transcontinental as the
states main artery OF travel, will de-
ve!op this artery to its maximum and
Will Foster the feeders connecting with
it.

croninA Corn.

The circular 124-R OF the bureau of
plant industry is Of extreme interest
10 farmers. A few OF them have long
claimed that planting two varieties OF
corn so that they would mix incEeasss
the yield: but this has never really
been scientifically dsmonstrated. Mr..
Darwin and others before him have.
clearly shown that cross fertilization
is necessary to the successful growth OF
many plants and they have demon
strated that many curious structures in
flowers have been brought about to-
effect this end.
Every agriculturist knows that a
stalk of corn so silks and tassels" as
not often to get Its own pollen on its
own silk. but that from another stalk.
However. self pollination may some
times occur. but this Is the reason VIII.
single stalk alone out in large field
rarely makes an ear. Now, two botan-
lists OF the agricultural department at
Washington have shown that any vari-
ETY. Of corn, which is crossed with an
other variety has its yield increased
in weight. no matter II the variety
furnishing the pollen from its tassels
be much smaller than that furnishing
the silk; that is, let an ear. say large

from both another white Dent stalk
and also that from a small yellow pop
corn. and when the pure white grains
and the mixed yellow grains appear on
the same cob. these latter. grain for
grain. will outweigh the same number
Of the others. In no case did these
| investigators find these hybrid grains
| weighing less. and the increase resulted
| in from to 20 per cent. This Is GER
tainly something so worth considering
that it will always pay the farmer to
fill one planter box with one variety
and the other with different one: and
| 1t is question whether he can not
afford to go thru his field and take of
| the tassels Cor tops) Of one kind all
| the way thru. so that all Of the grains
of the other kind will be certain to be

1t is certainly one Of the greatest dis

LOSS FoR SHAME

Iowa jails and prisons hold 1900
able bodied men who do not even earn
their keep" BY every law OF intelli-
gence and economy these men should
not only earn their board but should
be making enough to yield an allow
ance for their families and TO accum-
ula,e a fund for themselves with
which to start life again when they
gain their liberty. In six years the
prisoners OF Minnesota have not only
earned their board but have made a
profit of 100000 for the state.
It is in line with the mos: advanc-

ers at work. II is mercy which does
not make the penitentiary any less Of a
warning for wrong doors. 1t reim-
burses the state while the earnings
given out to innocent families are no
more than their due. Most impor-
