The "mule-foot" hog is coming to
the state fair. For the first time space
has been set apart for him in the big
swine pavilion The herd that will ap-
pear first will be from Arapahoe, Neb.,
tho there are good many of him in
Iowa. E. ]. Curtin. director OF the
state board from the Fourth district, is
an enthusiastic defender Of the mule
foot" and believes 1t is the coming hog.
After he has shown himself at the state
fair it may be possible to remove the
quotation marks from his name. ~
Incidentally 1t would seem that the
farmers are again taking heart in the
pavilion will be more nearly complete
~ filled this year than for three or
four years. After the pavilion was
built there was a year or two that it
was filed each year. Then the ex-
hibits dropped of and the past two or
three years some of the swine pens
have been used for sheep. Now the
hogs are coming back.
The International Harvester Com
pany Is said to have adopted change
OF policy in that 1t will not continue to
make large exhibits at state and other
fairs. For years the big tent exhibit
Of the company has been feature ut
many of the fairs and thru this meth
cd the people have been reached as in
no other way.
Agents here declare that the suits in
federal court against the company will
have little effect on the business as the
making Of farm implements will go on
and there will be the selling of the
same thru the usual channels.

Papers have been prepared in the
argument to go to the examiner of the
interstate commerce commission on the
case by the Iowa dealers for revision
of the single rate from western points
into Iowa. 1t was shown that the
freight rate on shingles from Seattle
to Iowa points is 2 cents higher than the
rate to Chicago. The excuse Is that the
rate to Chicago is made low to cor
respond to the lumber rate and the
lumber rate Is low to meet the lake
and rail competition. But 1t was also
admitted there Is practically no lake
competition on shingles. The Iowa
people insist that the violation Of the
long and short haul section shall be
stopped. @
On one Of the farms offered for sale
to the state for custodial farm, in
spected by members Of the board of
control this week, was found fine bed
of shale suitable for the making of
paving brick. AS this is one Of the in
dustries regarded as entirely proper
for convict industry, It is encouraging
to find the material at hand. 1t is fig-
ured that in the future Iowa will be
able to utilize vast quantity Of paw
ing brick for use on country roads and
the state ought to be preparing to fur
nish the same.
