conditions Of heat and cold, sunshine

Iowa's area are so perfectly blended as
to justify the title.

pened elsewhere, Iowa never brings
anxiety to her people" said the gov

to $1.013, 596.419.0O. What the state can
do agriculturally is shown by her un-
rivaiied exhibit here and the premiums
she has taken. Iowa's school Of agri-
culture and mechasic arts-and am
only modestly stating an everywhere
conceded fact when I say this school
is the greatest Of its kind in the world

creasing Iowa farm production and
animal husbandry. The state chal-
