GRIPPING THE RURAL MAILS.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,


The farmers OF Iowa Justly are up
in arms over the action of President
Wilson and Postmaster General Burle-
son in their radical changing of rural
mail routes. Many routes are being
cut out and others are being length
ened so that in some cases It is not
possible to cover them in day. Some
one sits in his coy office in Washing
ton, with no personal knowledge of
the character of the country, and in
an arbitrary manner designates the
course of the routes. In one instance
in Iowa county the route is fixed to go
over road that long ago was, aban-
doned
The kick of the people in the coun
try districts is justifable Owing to
the length of many Of the routes. the
rural carriers are ordered to leave the
central office before the morning mails
arrive. The papers of today are as
result delivered twenty four hours late.
SO it is with important letters. The
farmer today wants his market news
when 1t is news 1t means much to
him to have this information promptly.
One result that has already followed
this economy on the part of our dem
ocratic administration is the order of
those affected not to have their mail
delivered. They prefer to call for it
at the postoifice, even tho at times the
Inconvenience of doing so is rather
burdensome.
This economy on the part of the ad
miristration is due to a desire to save
some 100000, about one half the cost
of a new battleship. Better omit the
battleship and add to the comfort and
convenience Of those living in country
districts.
The rural delivery was nausurated
by republican congressman for the
benefit of the farmers Republican
administrations have always sup
ported the service; they have been even
ready to extend its usefulness. Next
year democratic congressional candi-
dates will hear from the farmers on
this question in manner that will not
De pleasant for them, and in a way
that will mean fewer votes for their
ambitions

Some Corn 6a.nel.

II you plant corn after corn con-
tinuously for twenty years. it will be
bad for the land-one test field in Ohio
grew twenty six bushels for the first
five years, and for the last five years
only So bushels.
This had no manure. But even where
FIVE tons Of manure per acre a year
was used. corn after corn for twenty
years knocked down the yield. in spite
of the manure. from forty-three bu-
shells to the acre to thirty seven bu-
shells.
Ia fact, a fiv0-year rotation with no
manure gave about as good results as
five tons OF manure to the acre and
continuous cropping The five-year
rotation with no manure lowered the
yield from thirty-two to twenty-nine
bushels.
This striking object lesson Is a con-
vincing argument for the practice Of
a rotation instead OF continuous crop
ping: and it shows how larger returns
! are received with manure used In q
rotation,
Sixteen tons of manure in twenty
years with five-year rotation in
creased the corn yield from forty -one
bushels to the acre to fifty-two bushels.
while twenty-five tons of manure in
the twenty years Of corn after corn
lowered the yield about six bushels.
Manure pays best In rotation.
With $50 pounds of commercial
fertilizer per corn crop the corn after
corn system lowered the yield III
twenty years from thirty nine to
thirty three bushels, while 800 pounds
per corn crop in a five-year rotation
increased the yield from thirty-six to
forty six bushels.
Not many farmers can carry out this
sort Of test, but it is nightly instruc-
tive to all Of US. 1t proves what we
all believe, if we pay any attention
| to our business. good deal depends
| on the soil Of course, but the tendency
| is the same on any SOIL These
ltwenty-year tests were made at the
Ohio experiment station.-By John
Coleman.

! uneconomic features of our present
tenant farming. They seem to be based
on the same long exploded theory OF q
trade-th that one mans gain is neces-
sarily the other mans loss; more often
1t is the reverse of this condition which
is true.
The renting of farm should be ar
ranged on this basis: The landlord
has farm out of which he wants TO
make the most money possible WITH
out decreasing the value Of that farm
lin fact. he would like to increase its
value while he Is making money out OF
it; but he does not have the labor
with which to operate it,, though he
may have machinery and equipment.
The tenant has his labor and strength,
which he wishes to use in such way
as to make the most money possible;
he may even have the machinery to
be used in operating a farm, but he
does not own farm nor has he the
money with which to buy one. What
is more logical than that these two
men should get together and form q
partnership which would accomplish
the desire of each of them?
The landlords land is worked with
the strength and possibly the equip,
ment. of some one other than himself.
The tenant has the opportunity to
work for himself as a farmer, even
though he does not own land From
the products of the farm the landlord
takes a certain amount as income from
the use of his land; the tenant takes
part as income from his labor. The
amount of the income of each will de-
pend upon the success of the partner
ship Most Of the landlords Of today
are men experienced in the business OF
farming, men who have been success
full at tor they would not be owning
the land: they are generally more ex-
perienced and more successful in the
business than is the tenant, otherwise
their relations would be reversed. For
this reason the knowledge and the ex
perience of the landlord should be one
OF the active assets of the partner
ship: he should have part in it's
management
If such partnership can be formed
and both of the partners realize that
the best. highest and most permanent
interest of either of them is equally
as much that of the other then
both will get a higher net income out
Of the conduct of the business than
ships would be long Lived rather than
shortltved, and the longer they ex
listed the more advantageous it would
be for both of the partners-and also
for the land itself, for permanent ag-
riculture is essentially good agricul-
ture.

year TO Senator Cunmins. With Sena-
tor CummlNs sure winner the sug-
sestion that he be allowed to choose

worthy OF Iowa and her position in the

cUMM1Ss DOMINANT FIGURE.

i
The presidential candidacy OF Sena-
tor Cummins received impetus during
the week when 1t was announced from
Washington that the National Progress
sive Union had found In a poll Of re-
publicans If Minnesota that the Iowa
senator was the first choice for presi-
dent Hughes was second and Borah
third. This indication Of sentiment in
Minnesota is encouraging to the sup
porters OF Senator Cummins. 1t bears
out the early predictions that the west
ern states would flock to the support OF
the Iowa senator cnce his candidacy
was formally launched Nebraska and
the Dakotas may now be counted upon
to fall in Inc. These states with Min
nesota, and Iowa. Of course, will form
the nucleus Of a movement that will
make Senator Cummins dominant
figure in national political affairs.

HOLLAND FEELS
BURDEN Of WAR
Protest Is Made by Laboring
People Against the In
creased Living Cost.

The Hague, Netherlands, May 10
Popular dissatisfaction with the heavy
burden the war has imposed on neutral
Holland is growing steadily, and find
ing almost daily expression. especially
among the workers. Recently several
meetings Of working men and women
as well as the unemployed. have been
held in leading Dutch industrial centers
to protest against the high cost Of liv-
ing induced by the war.
Great Crowd Gathers.
In The Hague meeting was held IN
the "Concordia," a hall largely devoted
to socialistic and labor gatherings. The
hall was crowded No police were pres
ent. though there were a large number
within easy call in the street outside.
The meeting was preceded by a parade
of the unemployed through the Quietest
and most select residential quarters Of
The Hague, singing THE Internation-
al" and distributing handbills calling
upon all Hollanders to stand with the
demonstrators in their fight against
hunger in Holland. A large crowd gath
cred before the city hall, but was dis
persed by the police.
Relief Work Criticized.
The meeting criticized the work OF
the national relief committee as being
directed to aid the large employers. Of
creasing the wages of their employees.
The demonstrators alleged that while
taxes and the cost of living mounted
constantly. wages remained stationary,
and the relief committee was urged to
stave off the logical economic crisis
that ordinarily would result from such
a condition. by succOring those families
placed by it in imminent want.
The workers further declared that
they had already more than paid their
share Of the cost Of the mobilization OF
the Dutch troops, in the increased
prices they had been forced to pay for
foodstuffs; and they protested vigor-
ously against any general tax to cover
military expenditures They claimed
that the large property owners and en-
ployers of labor in Holland wh0, they
said, have been growing rich out Of the
war. should be forced to pay the full
cost of mobilization through special
tax on incomes above a certain figure,
and upon capital
The presence Of thousands OF unem-
ploved eBlgium refugees in the Neither
lands has produced an acute industrial
situation As many Of these are ardent
Socialists. the situation is not devoid
of possible political aspects in Holland,
where the Socialists are not very
strong.
