The Eagle Grove Eagle announces its
position. If republican reorganization
means change the Eagle prefers de-
feat.
Now the Eagle Grove Eagle Is one of
the few standpat papers Of the i'm
movable type in Iowa. To it the party
means a system and that system con-
trolled by certain persons which the
great mass of republicans have repudi-
ated. The Eagle has always been
biddable. II Cummins or another were
to be pounded into the ground the
Eagle screeched within its confines of
voice and spread its talons as far as
they went. Thus the Eagle becomes
an exam pie, a sort OF illustration, a
parable.
The Eagle individually and collective
ly represents the main difficulty in the
path Of reorganization. It isn't repuh-
lican. It is oligarchical. Perhaps the
Eagle doesn't know It but that is what
the Eagle is. It is not making its
representative party government but
ON the right of minority to rule and
control the party. 1t and the minority
it represents must be horse or the
Eagle refuses to play.
The spoke in the wheel Of republican
reorganization is that those who ruled
1t to ruin refuse to learn even by dis
lster. Reorganization can never come
about on the traditions of republic

Penrose and the like political discards.
are to be insisted upon as traditions"
necessary to reorganization. 1t might
as well be said plainly as it is plainly
understood that the repu plican masses
will not consider them as controlling
elements in the party The Barnes
of New York and elsewhere for that
matter, can not reorgantze anything.
They are thru. They can, If they choose,
oppose reorganization that might re-
organize and try to scutue a vessel
they may no longer command and
which they have steered to the reefs.
There existed long time ago when
men sailed strange seas amid reefs and
keys a custom referred to az maroon
ing. Those who refused to conform to
the common good were set ashore with
supplies for present needs and left tc

SMALL HATS WORN IN PARIS
Strange Fantasies Strangely Posed
Vary the Monotony Of These
Fashionable Shapes.

A pleasant change from the round
hat and bonnet form is a new boat
shaped toque. A few hats with far

are among the smartast Of the recent
shapes. Besides these are basin, pot
shaped and bell-shaped hats, peculiar
for their adaptability to all ages.
These are produced in soft English

of blue, taupe and green, as well as
in black, white and the natural vel
lows of Leghorn straw.

hundred and eighty dollars from this
source. The fifty hens ought to pro-
duce what eggs and poultry the farmer
needs and furnish fifty dollars worth
OF material for sale. Adding these
sums together gives us one thousand
three hundred and FIVE dollars as a
possible income from such a system OF
farming.
From this income all the expenses
Of running the farm and Of the family
living must be paid, but with half an
acre Of garden, an acre and half Of
orchard, and with all the potatoes,
cabbage and onions the family can
consume, with hogs for meat, and
with the eggs and poultry the family
living ought not to cost more than
two or three hundred dollars for things
bought.
The city man must not get the idea
that he can start in a system of this
kind without experience and make a
success of 1t from the start. 1t will
mean a lot of very hard work, hard
living and hard study for two or three
years, and Of these three things study
is the most important On the other
hand, the man who thoroughly under
stands his business can increase the
income here estimated very materially.
One other very important consider
alton in connection with farm Of
this kind: It is assumed that 1t is
near enough to a town or city to per-
NIT the farmer when he is carrying
his potatoes, cabbage and onions to
market, to bring back with him on
each trip load of manure for use on
the farm.
Where this can be done such farm
could be made highly fertile. The
places to put manure in such a sys-
tenn would be just after the potatoes,
just before either of the corn crops,
and in the fall of the year manure
could be put on the clover field which
was used for pasture during the sum
mer. This field should then be plowed
late in the fall in preparation for po-
tatoes the next year.

By w J. sPfLLMAN, Chief Of United
States Bureau Of Farm Management
Near the larger cities II would prob
ably be better to grow some of the
more perishabe truck crops and to
keep one horse for marketing pur-
poses but in most country places the
system as outlined here would be more
satisfactory and would require only
two horses
In addition to four COWS and two
horses the owner of such a farm could
keep one OF two brood sows and fifty
hens
Assuming that the farmer under
stands his business and is on a soil
and in a region adapted to the type
OF farming here outlined, 1t ought to
be possible on such farm to secure
an income somewhat as follows: The
five acres of potatoes ought to pro
duce FIVE hundred bushels at least, and
II the man Is a good potato grower
the field can be made to average more
than two hundred bushels.
One ought to average at least fifty
cents a bushel for the potatoes. This
would make $3.50 for this field. The
three acres of cabbage ought to pro
duce $500, and the two acres OF
onions ought to produce $500. The
onions require a good deal more work
than the other crops, hence, the
smaller acreage of them. After the
farm is started the farmer must be
guided by his experience, and II
might prove wise to put the entire
five acres in onions, provided labor is
available.
If the four COWS kept are good ones
and the farmer is not justified in
keeping any other kind-one of then
ought to furnish dairy produce for the
family, and the other three, II prop
erly managed, ought to produce sew
enty-five dollars worth Of dairy prod
ucts apiece a year, making two hun
dred and twenty-five dollars income
from the dairy.
1t ought to be possible to produces
twelve pigs to sell at an average price
Of fifteen dollars each, making one
