TIMEsREPUBIICAN MARsHAILTowN. IOWA: OCTOBER 1915

the presidents letter in part. that the
ethics Of fair play have been violated
and your reference to black hand
methods is not deserving Of reply We
believe that the farmers of Iowa are
entitled to know what they are buying
and we challenge you to state how
your so-called remedy is made. You
are correct in saying that taxpayers
money Is used to distribute circular
No. 25. This work is done in the In
terest Of the farmers of this state and
of the public. There is an earnest
purpose among state experiment sta
tions to serve the farmers of their own
states and to protect them from frauds
origina ting in their own and other
states. If it were necessary we could
cite cases where many thousand dol
lars worth of hogs have been lost in
Iowa because of the faith placed in
So called hog cholera remedies which
are not remedies at all On the other
hand. we can cite almost countless
instances of the saving Of hogs thru
the use of hog cholera serum
This is the parting shot of the presi-
dents letter: I'VE do not find that you
point out single error in circular No.
20. You attack the motives of the pub
LEGATION but not its contents, which
seem to be unchallenged to this date"
