Freak Legislators.

1T might have been expected that
the Iowa house would pass an anti
treating bill and an antl-smoking
bill--and any kind of an anti bill
that any one of the ants Jaw fit to
file. All persons desiring any kind
OF freak legislation are referred to
the Iowa house; it seems to be there
for that purpose. 1t has a great
capacity for freak and FOR SUMMARY
Legislation. 1t would set up a kind
Of Zion City all over Iowa and con-
tinue, so far as possible, to reduce
the population of the state. An
anti-treat ting statute is not a new
thing-a number of states have en-
acted it and nowhere has it been en-
forced. What the Iowa house should
&c is to wipe out the mulct law and
give us absolute prohibition. This
constant changing of the Jaws; this
constant passage of laws that cannot
be enforced, is making a joke of the
whole state. ..-.. ~,
The worst OF II Is, while the
hccse is busy passing freak legisla-
tion it is ignoring important legisla-
ton. 1t would give us laws to drive
capital and people from the state,
but acne that would nelp to make
conditions betters; to make the
state a better place in which to live
and to attract people to the state.
Any body of men that allows the
counties Of the state to go on almost
wasting S7,00u,000 per year on state
roads and refuses to make a law
requiring that this sum be judicious-
ly spent, is not competent to trans
act the states business-it is as
freakish as it's legislation.
go on with the freak work. Some
day there will be reckoning. A
progressive house? Why, it would
be joke, if it were not for the fact
that the state is made to suffer- -

a recent issue OF the Iowa Home
stead contained an illustrated article
on the subject OF "Common-Sense
Treatment OF Dairy Cows" that
should be printed in pamphlet form
and distributed among the farmers.
The facts given will enable any farm
er to double the net profit on the
number of COWS usually kept on the

ATTENTION, STALLION OWNERS.
Letter of Explanation from the Sec
rotary of Agriculture.

| Editor Leon heporter.-For some
(, reason or other the stallion owners
are dilatory in taking out renewals
of their state certificates. There may
be little misunderstanding on ac-
count Of the statement at the bottom
of last years certificates which
state This certificate expires April
l, 1879 However, the law re-
quires that all certificates must be
renewed between January 1st and
april LIST of each year, and you can
readily understand that unless these
applications are made at an early
date there will be such food OF APP
plications just before the first of
! April LIST Of each year, and you can
this department to handle them
promptly, and there will %, great
delay in getting out the renewals to-
some of the stallion owners.
The stallion owners may also be
holding back. thinking the bill now
pending before the legislature may
cause some change in this law this
year; however, this is not true, for
should the bill amending this law
pass it will not take effect until
July list.
l AM enclosing herewith sample
form for posters to be uced as a
guide in advertising pure bred and
grade stations. Bills gotten out in
accordance with these samples will
comply with the law Under the law
it will be necessary for each and
every stallion owner to procure a |
state certificate, or the renewal of j.!
state certificate, dated since Janu-
airy /, 1913, before he can order his |
posters and have them printed with |

We also wish to call attention to !
the fact that in case a state certi- |
ticate has been issued for a stallion
this old certificate, or the original |
certificate of pedigree, must accom-
pany the affidavit of soundness and
for renewal of certificate
Will you kindly assist us in bring

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending April 6, 1913.
DeS MOineS Iowa

For the week ending April 6, 1918.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The six months from October l,
1912, to March 81, 1913, were, as a
whole, mild, dry and pleasant, with
no severe winter storms. The av-
erage temperature for the period was
about two degrees above the normal.
The excess of precipitations was,
however. made up during the first
days of October and the month Of
March, during which time rains or
SHOWS were frequent and heavy, but
the amount of snow during the win
ter months was much smaller than
usual. March was cold and stormy,
with frequent rain and snow storms
and unusually high winds which have
delayed field work The soil is,
however, in fine physical condition
and with favorable weather blowing
and seeding will become general dur
ing the coming week. Some oats and
spring wheat were sown early last
week, but the work was stopped by
the rain and snow on the 3rd and
4th. Fall sown grains, clover, timo-
thy, blue grass, i've stock and fruit
trees wintered we'll and are now gen
orally in excellent condition. More
rough reed are left on hand. The
acreage of winter wheat is reported
to be somewhat greater that the
area harvested last year, and with
favorable weather conditions the
acreage Of other small grains will be
up to the normal. Fruit buds are
still dormant, and the indications at
present are favorable for a good crop
Of all kinds Of fruit except peaches.

Vote Dry at Federation
Meeting
Meeting

Representatives of $4,000 women club members III
Illinois pledged themselves yesterday to the ballot
box at every opportunity to add Illinois the list OF
dry states. They made their promise at the closing
session of the Illinois Federation of Womens Clubs
in Evanston.
The dry resolution adopted with little oppo-
ston. Only small group of women, led by Mrs
George Bass Mrs. William SEVERN and Mrs John
Worthy of Chicago, Miss Kate O'Connor of Rockford
and Mrs Frederick w. Bocki of Chicago, opposed it.
The Rockford Star in commenting on the action
of the Women's Clubs quoted above, voices the
opinion of the best citizenship of the state when it
says:
The average stands for purity cleanliness and
the wipng of everything that remains in the pathway of
progress Not to have made pronouncemen the liquor
question: particularly time when clothed with
the ballot would have made the Federation negative force
It's action has made it power be reckoned with.

STOCK GROWERS
 GALL MEETING
Issued for Annual Convention of American Live Stock As- sociation at Denver next January. Much Business.

Prospects for the passage of a land lease law at the next session of congress are brighter than ever be- fore Many of the sheep growers have heretofore opposed such a law; now the majority of them favor it. The unsatisfactory conditions result ing from unregulated use of the open ranges have contributed in no small measure to the decrease os live stock in the west. This can be corrected by lease law such as this associa- iion has recommended. Congress seems to have finally awakened to a just appreciation of the importance of such a law and its bearing on our future meat supply. This Ques- lion and the various land bills now pending in congress will be cOnsid- cred at our meeting.
