tension department OF Iowa State Col.
legS Of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cunmins says. up to
the present tine has increased the
wealth OF Iowa S30,0C0C00.
The object CT the II C Service Bu-
reau is the Trcmotion of agricultural
education, and a cooperation which
viii tend to raise the whole tone of
commercial. industrial and farm life.
Since Agriculture is the basis CT pros
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
is higher efficiency, both On and of
the farm.
TO do h;g work big organizat icn
IS necessary. Not orly tie biencss,

organization as well appealed to Pro-
fessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada: the statesmen.

the 10000 dealers-every one, so far
IS possible. is TO be made en- apostle
of better farming.
For years the International Har-
vester Company has realized the i'm.
rortance CT service. 1t has spent mil
lions of dollars in the perfection Of Ia.
bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children, that the men
ard women Of tomorrow may be MGR
capable and so more prosperous than
| the men and women of today.
II is no longer a theory that II we
are to get the most out OF life we
must raise more per acre. "Inten'
sive farming" is in the air. 1t is the
battle cry Of peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result Of mind
rot muscle. We must know. And
net only that, We must Know we
know, and know why We know. We
must know rood seed from bad, RICH,
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
ard wherefors CT climates. soils

/ For these things the bureau wa
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than ar

They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels oil
corn, wheat and oats to the acre
| and like yields of all other kinds Of
/ farm products. They see time wher
farmers and farmers wives and theil
! children will think more and worl
less. Every bushel raised means just
that much profit, and the profits Of
the farm promote commerce and in

After a period of good work in Mich

Professor Holden now enters upon

COPPER STOCKS SHOW STRENGTH

NEW YORK. July 16.-The appear ance of tho stock market was trans formed today by an accession of strength which lifted prices in all de partments. While trading was no. heavy speculation showed animation at times.
 Higher prices in London stimulated the markets opening and the ad- vance continued to the close withcut interruption. Announcement that ar bitration had been agreed upon by both sides in the wage controversy af- fecting eastern railroads and reports from Washington that the currency bill will be altered to insure protec. ton of government bonds, removed two factors of uncertainty An i'm. portant influence fin the advance was European buying of stocks.
 Foreign markets were also strong, cables reporting better feeling regard ing the Balkan situation. A signfi- cant development was the offering in this market of foreign money for ninety days at five and quarter per cent.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par, S1,141,OOo. IT. S. Bonds unchang ed on call.
