There is No Reception.
HE PRAISES STATES RESOURCES

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 25.
Governor George w. Clarke was
the principal speaker today at Iowa
Day at the Panama Pacific exposi-
ton. The welcome he encountered
was hopefully expected to obliterate
any impressions he might have re-
ceived when yesterday he arrived at
Oakland, ferried across the bay and
hunted up his hotel alone for his i'm
mediate party.
1t was explained to him that his
staff of seventeen colonels, lieuten-
ant colonies and other officers who
had arrived the day before, and
many high exposition officials had
gone to meet him at the wrong time.
Two hundred persons at Des
Moines were reported listening in"
by telephone while the governor
made his address.
Miss Frances Clarke, the govern
or's daughter, sang Iowa" A lunch
dinner and a reception were fea-
lures Of the program.
Governors Address.
Governor George W.. Clarke. in his ad-
dress, said that there was nothing idle
about the boast that the Hawkeye state
was the Garden Spot of the World"
He declared the statement had come to
be the consensus OF opinion of the com
petent of all other states who have Wis
tied her or come to understand her vast
resources" The governor declared that
conditions of heat and cold. sunshine and
rain, richness and responsiveness of scn
throughout the entire extent OF Iowa's
area are so perfectly balanced as TO jus
tify the title.
Whatever may happen or has hap
pened elsewhere. Iowa never brings anx-
iety to her people" said the governor
The products Of it's fields. frequently Law
ish. are always abundant. Like charity
Iowa never fails. There is a sense OF Sc
curity and substantially in Iowa"
Billion I'm Farm Products.
The governor declared that Iowa's crop
production Is now more than twice as
much as 1t was fourteen years ago. Last
year" he said. 1T was $567. 1l3.lis, and,
when the value of live stock is added the
1914 value rises TO t10lS. .5ss.41s What the
state can do agriculturally is shown by
its unrivalled exhibits here and the pre-
miums 1t has taken.
'Iowa's School OF Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts-and I am only modestly
stating an everywhere conceded fact,
when I say this school is the greatest
OF its kind in the world-has been a
wonderful help in increasing Iowa farm
production and animal husbandry. The
state challenges the world on fine cattle.
Iowa appreciates this great school and last
year there was expended there 81, 21s 300.
The state believes in an educated citizen

ton so, 2ss77
The state is not simply agricultural

manufacturing Industries. Last year the
output of its factories was $3.50. 600 Oo0"

the state from the time the Indians were
it's only inhabitants and told OF the rec
