Of the young people of the county
will go to Cedar Falls this year.
Won't you parents come out and
hear and greet Dr.. Seerley. Among
the best men in the state is Prof.
C.. r. Curtiss, dean and director of
the Iowa State College at Ames.s We
were unable to secure him last year
but he comes to us this year with
a message that I am sure we shall
be glad to hear. His subject is
Successful and Permanent Agricul-
ture'' What a theme, but not too
deep for the progressive and intelli-
gent farmers Of Delaware county. By
consulting the program you will note
that all three Of these great men will
speak the first day Of the Institute
and they will be followed by Prof. A.
Marston, chairman OF the State High.
way Commission, who will tell Il us
how the state expended .$11 200, 900 90.
on Its public highways in 1914 and
what the results have been. He will
use lantern slides to show how bad
roads may be converted and made

into good ones and he. will tell us
what the effect is in raising the val
uation of farm lands. wish every
citizen Of the county could attend the
sessions of this first day OF the In
stitute. You who cannot, certainly
have my sympathy The second day
is so crowded with good things. do
not see how we can absorb it all.
First comes Prof. Hugh $ address on
"Alfalfa' and his class following the
address In which It is believed he
will bring out and find remedy for
any failures which have been made
in attempts to grow alfalfa. Prof.
Hughs will be followed by DR..
Reed, president of Lenox college.
We often hear the remark that "a
prophet is known save In his own
country. This In a sense is true
of speaker but it does not apply to
DR.. Reed, who has made a study of
Delaware county soils and will bring
to us practical suggestions as to
their needs. DR.. Hopkins of Illinois,
the great soil expert, promised to be
with us and discuss this subject but
he found later it would be impossible
to do 80 and am sure DR.. Reed
will make an excellent substitute and
his personal knowledge of our soil

true and because 1t is true every
farmer, in the county will be glad
we have succeeded in securing three
splendid speakers, one from each of
the three great educational institu-
tons of the state. DR.. Jessup, Of
the State University, comes to us
as a speaker and educator of nation
al reputation. His subject, THE
Scientific Farmer and His Children -,
will be full OF suggestions that will
be helpful to farmers in their eff
forts to do the best possible things
for their children. Dr.. Jessup rep
resents a state institution from
which more than half Of our lawyers
and doctors are graduates and from
which our boys are annually gradu-
ating and going out into the business
of life. Your secretary

conditions may enable him to give us
information of even greater value
than anything of a general nature
that DR.. Hopkins might have brought
us. DR.. Reed will be followed by Dr.,
Pammel. who is at the head of the
botanical department at Ames. He
has made a life study of plants and
will not only give a most interesting
address which the ladies will espe-
cially enjoy but he will tell the farm
er about the plant enemies of the
farm and how to subdue them. The
Institute has been especially fortu-.

heard Miss Fordyce at school insti-

as speaker and thoroughly orig
inal thinker. The friends who fail
to attend this last session will, 1 am
sure, always regret it. Each session
Of the Institute will be interspersed
with music. 1t, will consist Of an Or
chestra, band, High school chorus,

always adds to the enjoyment OF any

as "a society for, the promotion of

and frankly what it is. He will also
tell US more about hog cholera and
the years results of his teachings

there will be a. general discussion in
which farmers should be prepared to
ask questions concerning both of
these diseases. Do not hesitate to

Now, while labor, farm products,
merchandise and manufactures and
supplies Of all kinds have steadily in
creased in price, the railroads. as
stated before, have been compelled to
reduce their rates in the face of this
avalanche of ever-advancing cost Of
operation-and that all but the most
powerful lines find themselves in an
exceedingly critical condition is not to
be wondered at. The farmer, the mer-
chant, the manufacturer and the la
borer justly insist that they would
not be able to get along on the prices
they received ten or fifteen years ago.
How, then. can the railroads, which
are the largest employers of labor and
buyers of material In the United
States, be expected to exist on less
than they received ten or fifteen years
ago? In view of these facts, 1t is no
wonder that President Wilson and
other patriotic and careful students
of the situation are speaking words
of kindly admonition to the American
public, to the end that the railroads,
through whose giant arteries flows
the very life blood Of the nation, may
not be wrecked and destroyed.
The Public and the Manager.
On the same hand, for the last TWEEN
ty-five years the public has demand
ed the best and highest efficiency in
service and lower rates in one and
the same breath. On the other hand
stand the thousands of men and wo-
men who have invested their money
In railroad securities and who, in
common with the farmer, the manu-
facturer and the merchant, believe
they are entitled to fair profit. Then
