Bankers FARMERS
Iowa Will Send Big Delegation To
Agricultural Conference
MEETS AT KANSAS CITY AUGUST rs
Representatives Of Financial institu-
tlon in Hawkeye State Devotins
Time to Questions Affecting
Betterment OF the Soil.

Des Moines.--Iowa bankers are
studying up on agriculture and famil-
iarizins themselves with such soil and
plant chemicals as nitrogen, oxygen,
phosphorus and potassium.
The bankers of Iowa are preparing
to attend the third annual conference
OF the agricultural commission which
will be held for to days at Kansas
City beginning Aug. &c.
II is expected that this will be the
most important meeting of the kind
that has been held. Important ques-
tons are coming up. The banker is
interested in these questions. The
first two conferences were held at
Minneapolis. The first meetings are
of interest only by reason of the
fact that they awoke the banker to
the fact that as a financier he is per-
sonally interested In crop rotation,
seed selection, soil treatment and
other problems of intensive farming
which conspire to grow bumper crops.
The banker has come to realize
that the larger the crop is the larger
the bank deposit and the greater
need there will be for interest bear
ing notes to tide over the farmer I'M
til he gets the crop and the stock to
market.
Realizing the importance Of scienti-
ic knowledge In the matter OF farm
ing the Iowa Bankers association at
its state convention in this city pass
ed resolutions favoring the appoint
ment Of committees to advance the
interests of scientific farming not
only among the farmers, but in the
rural schools. These committees
were selected recently by ID. l.. Helm
sheimer, president of the association,
one representative from each group
being appointed.

Saloon Men See Bio Loss.

Saloon men predict decided de-
crease in their profits under the new
daylight law which became operative
July 4. Those saloons near railroad
stations will suffer most, they say.
the early morning business being best
with those establishments. A reduc-
ton In the amount OF liquor sold over
the bar and an increase in the sales OF
bottled goods are expected. The
greater profit comes from the sale
of stuff over the bar.
Whether many bartenders will lose
their jobs as result of the law is
still a matter for conjecture Some
saloon men think that many are
doomed to go. Others say that there
will be the same amount OF business
as under the present law and that for
that reason no proprietor can AFFORD
to let out any of his barkeeps.

Evidence In White slave Cases.

Securing evidence against white
slavers is not an easy task by any
means said George f. Bidwell, dep
uty United States marshal. "In all of
the cases | have been c-lled upon to
investigate, have found II most diff
fcult to secure the necessary evil
dence to convict. The principal rea-
son for this is that the girl In the
case usually is reluctant to tell all
she knows concerning the man who
has caused her downfall / am inclined
TO believe that in many instances the
girl fears bodily harm at the hands of
the man she appears against, in the
event that he should gain his freedom.
Then, again, girl is forced to testify
against the man, regardless Of wheth-
er she is of the opinion she has
been wronged. In my opinion, there
would not be so many white slave
prosecutions II mothers would look
after their daughters more closely"

The Cholera Serum Experiment.

The eyes Of every farmer in Iowa
viii be fixed upon the experiment in
fighting hog cholera which has been
started by the government in Dallas
county. The county will be SO thor
oughly organized that the tests will
be systematic and complete. Stats
tics show that the loss to the wealth
Of Iowa from this source is appalling.
In some sections farmers are even
deciding to grow no more hogs be-
cause of the lose incurred when the
dread cholera sweeps through their
herds. The practical utility of SER
UNI is to be accurately determined in
three or four counties in the United
States and Dallas county is one of
the few selected for that purpose.

Another Weed Day Announced.

Another Weed Day Announced.
Iowa will have another weed kill
ing day. The state highway commits
sion has designated July 18th as the
day when all people in the state, are
urged to wage war on the weeds. Good
results were obtained from the first
weed day but the word had not been
sent out long enough to penetrate
every corner of the state. From July
18th to August 18th under the new
weed law officials may cut the weeds
and have 1t charged TO the owners Of
the property.
Counties in Iowa that have not
made sufficient progress under the
new road laws were severely repri-
manded by the highway commission
at Ames at their last meeting and
three county engineers were removed.
The names of the engineers were not
announced, but as II was intimated
several weeks ago that such action
probably would be taken II did not
occasion any great surprise. Other
engineers when not found competent
to direct the county road work will
be removed by the highway commits
sion. Boards of supervisors have been
directed to employ engineers by the
year hereafter instead Of by the day.

cosson Demands Law Enforcement.

County attorneys in the state Of
Iowa have been instructed by Attorney
General Cosson to push, vigorously all
liquor cases in which 1t Is apparent
that the recent Webb-Kenyon law is
being violated. At the same time the
Attorney General has given the o.
ficers to understand that he has not
interpreted the law to mean tina. the
shipment Of liquor to private parties
for personal use is in violation OF
the Webb-Kenyon act. Rather he is
concerned with those who buy liquor
in quantities that are suspicious
and which indicate possibility Of
bootlegging. Many of these cases
could not be reached until the Webb
Kenyon faw became effective.

Elaht on Poor Ice cream.


Three or four prosecutions OF Ice
cream manufacturers will begin short
ly. as a result OF tests which ha, .
recently been made by the stat food
and dairy commission. Samples OF the
various ice creams have been gath.
cred and tested by the states chem.
lists during the last month, and the
findings in several cases are suffici-
ent to warrant prosecution. Strict
compliance with the sanitary laws Is
being insisted upon by the commia-
sion at this period. when ice cream is
used in great quantities.
State 10 Growing Economical.
The state of Iowa is growing eco
nomical. During the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1918, more money was
collected and less expended than In
the previous twelve months. The
collections totaled s4.3S1624 and the
expenditures s5.034.769. In 1912 49,
700,909 was collected and s5,224.501
expended. The seeming excess in ex-
penditures over collections appears
because the balances retained each
year are not included in the collec-
tons.
