STATE IN NATION
STATE BEE INSPECTOR SAYS THE
STATE WILL RANK HIGHEST
IN HONEY PRODUCTION.
INTEREST IN BEES GROWING
io~a's White Glover Honey Already 10
Noted az the Best to BE Found
Anywhere In the Country.

Frank c. Pellet Of Atlantic, state
bee Inspector, says:
an twenty years Iowa will be the
best state for honey in the country.
This state has developed It's live stock
and hogs first and just now 10 be-
ginning to give attention to its honey
crop. The interest in bees 10 greater
this year than ever before.
Clover Honey 10 Best.
"lowa's white clover honey already
10 noted as the best In this country.
Now we want to increase the supply
and make beekeeping a big industry.
A few bees we'll cared for will make
a man living in the city and work
Ing on a salary, rich In short time.
We have one man In Des Moines who

WHY PROSPERITY IS
A HABIT IN GOOD IOWA

A man In Buffalo wrote to the
Greater Iowa Committee the other
day and said that he had read that
I'm Iowa prosperity Is habit" He
wanted to know why. He said that
prosperity did not bother one in Buf.
falo although he had read several
books on tho subject, How to Get
Rich Why" said the puzzled Buf:
falo citizen, do you allege so much
prosperity for Iowa? Is it q fact OF
am I merely buffaloed?"
1t is q fact.
Iowa produces about 1915 Of the
corn crop of the United States each
year.
When It comes to oats, Iowa's
farmers raise 1859 Of the total crop
of the nation.
Iowa has 2s, s97, $50 acres Of lmprov'
ed land within her borders-which
leaves smaller percentage Of waste
equal area on earth.
The average of improved land in
Iowa is greater than that OF Illinois
about 2Ogo above Missouri, nearly
500 above Texas, ten times as much
as Colorado, nearly twice that Of In
diana, 500 more than Minnesota
three times that OF Alabama and
ninety times that of New Mexico.
Vast Resources.
Iowa farmers own 1876 Of all the
cattle in the United States.
6.1% Of all the horses of the ma
ton are owned in Iowa.
Even though Iowa 10 prairie state
1870 Of the timber products Of the
entire country come from within her
borders. Arkansas, which 10 regarded
az something Of a timber state, pro
duces only 40.
Even more surprising Is the fact
that Iowa produces 3.29d Of the btu
minous coal mined in the United
States.
$50 Of all the barley grown in the
United States comes from the farms
of Iowa.
1850 OF all the swine in the entire
country are raised in Iowa.
The Iowa hen produces as much
wealth each year as the silver mines
of Colorado. And the hen isn't max
ina much Of a fuss about It either.
Land that sold for SIS an acre II
1890 will bring more than 500 ar
acre now.

IT PAYS TO BUY IOWA LANDS

Illinois, indiana and Ohio farmers
are coming to Iowa to buy land, and
they are paying from $3.50 to $500 an
acre for II, and these men know what
they are doing. They are buying Iowa
farms to live on--not for speculative
purposes, although II is confidently
predicted by the best Informed real
estate men and the most observing
farmers that Iowa land at $500 an
acre will not be uncommon five years
hence.
1t is everywhere conceded that this
state is in the very heart of the great
est wealth producing region in the
world, and can be definitely proved
by reliable statistics that the produc-
or will soon be monarch OF all he sur
veys, for Uncle Sam informs us that
while our population is increasing at
the rate OF a little more than IS per
cent every ten years, our ability to
feed and clothe our people is progress
ing at the rate Of only 10 per cent in
the same time.
Prices Increasing.
This means constantly Increasing
prices for the producer-this means
that the farmer who puts intelligence
into his toll will be the most prosper
Gus man In our Industrial oraaniza-
ton.
It Is sometimes said that the wealth
Of the Iowa farmer is due entirely to
the increase in the value of the land
which has been brought about by ma
tural causes and cannot be credited to
the sagacity or the hard work of the
land represents only the farmers in
vestment and not his income. and that
he cannot keep his land and buy auto
mobiles. Victrolas and player-pianos
with it, we see the fallacy of the ar.
gument that the wealth of the farmer
il all in his land.
Farmers Make Money.
With fat hogs selling from $50 to $50
each, cows bringing $50 to $50 each
and very ordinary horses pulling down
5000 and more head, there Is every
reason why the farmer should make
money. Every year the staple yield
per acre Of almost every staple COM
modify is increasing because Of better
farming methods.
One Fine Record.
Near Merrlmac there is farmer
who single handed, raised or Is cred
tied with having raised 2,735 bushels
of wheat and SAT bushels of oats, be-
sides corn, hay, hogs, horses, cows,
chickens. etc.
1t is easy to see that the man who
deals only in the things that people
absolutely must have to sustain life
can always invest considerable money
in his plant and realize a fair return
upon 1t.

FURs.

FURS.
Some one has said that furs
make a plain woman beautiful
and a beautiful woman ravish-
ing.
That may be bit of poetic
extravaganza, but there is no
question but furs enhance the
costume and add to the beauty
of the face.
The average woman does not
buy furs as she does new hat
with the thought that if it is
not satisfactory she can easily
get another. She buys them af-
ter careful consideration and
selection, because it means a
large expenditure of money and,
therefore, must be made to last
several seasons.
= 1t is also true that the aver
age woman does not know very
much concerning fur value. 1t
is, therefore, necessary that she
buys from only reliable fur
dealers.
In the advertising columns of
The Courier are to be seen the
announcements of fur sales by
reliable merchants in almost
every edition.

The quarantine against Canadian
cattle was not placed because of in

the return of infected cattle cars to the

Canadian quarantine was said by Of

It is expected that the quarantine
over the northern peninsula of Mich
