In round numbers, Iowa has
about IS, 600, 600 acres Of farm
land. According to the u. 81.
census reports there was 40 In
crease Of ITO per cent in the
value Of iowa farm lands from
1900 10 1904 period Of to-
years. During the four yeai1
which have elapsed in the
meantime it can safety be estts
mated that the increase has
been brought up to at least 100
per cent. Perhaps taking the
state as whole, farm lands
have eni,ansce d somewhere
around 1880 per acre during
the above period-but upon
even so low a basis as $50 o.
per acre the enhanced land val
nes Of Iowa have added one

nation has had more TO do with

than have the railroads, and as

has this been more true than in

the man who bought Iowa land
twenty-five or thirty years ago

That every city Of any size

moment is a fact we'll known to
every reader OF newspapers
Tor hardly a day passes that
the press is not full OF comment
about the hungry thousands
who stand in the ssbread llne''
and pat.onize the tree s'soup

population. Nor is this state
OF affairs due to the policy of
any particular political party,
but rather the outgrowth of
conditions which have been
slowly but surely crystaAizing
or a i lumber of years. In the
first place, the Corn Belt-the
great bread basket of the Ma
tion-has had series of slim
crops i'm most sections, and this
naturally has had depressing

government control of public

sharp inquiry into the conduct
of all other large corporations
and, in trying to stamp out
the aouses of the past, the pen

other direction that so far as
the railroads are concerned, at

That the depressed financial
condit on of the railroads is
largely responsible for the
great army of unemployed was
wildly demonstrated by a
prominent st. Louis newspaper
recently when 1T showed that
nine ST. Louis manufacturing
establishments which deal in
railroad supplies employed A.
673 men one year ago, whereas
now they employ only 4,5O3,
with redu ction in their pay
roll amounting to 1888, 700 per
month, or over seven million
dollars a year. Ii the effect
upon only nine enterprises is
as far reaching as this, what
would the figures show if they

dustlies and the hundred of
other enterprises affected in a
greater or less degree through
out the country? Nearly all of
these concerns have on hand

" waste the GREAT opportunity
for profit which the foreign war
will unquestionab'y bring tc
us? This is a phase of the pre-
sent situation which commands
he serious thought of every
farmer in Iowa and the Corn
Belt gensrally-for here i,
where the lions share of the
nation's toodstuffs are produ-
ced and l:ere is where farmers
cannot afford to be hampered
by inadequate transportation
facilities if they are to make
the uost of favorable market

yet they haven't the funds
with which to supply this
equipment and thus be prepar.
ed for the emergency when it
comes-as it undoubtedly will.
FARMERS WILL PROFIT
In this connection, it is OPP
,portu1e to say that the Ameri.
can FARMER is certain to reap a
larger profit from the chaotic
conditions which exist in Eu-
rope than any other class or
tradcsmen or citizen. So far
asfour manufacturers are con.
oernsd, while new markets are

come, the splendid trade which,
we enjoyed i'll Germany Eng.

STA on our manufactured pro-
ducts is certain to remain de-
moraliz:d-and thus we will be
fortunate If we do not lose
more than We cln hope to gain
in new fields, with whose needs
we are not yet fimiliar, and to
Which it is certain TO require
some years to adjust ourselves.
1t is the American farme r.
however, who has no compli-
cations ahead of him, aid
whose flour, pork, beef. mutton
and other foodstuffs must be
depended upon to make up the
shortage which is already
looming big in tie distance be-
cause the harvest fields of the
most fertile sections of Europe
have been converted INTO a
shambles for the contesting ar.

while meat and cattle exports
amounted to nearly $l4 600. COO,
or a gain of over 20 per cent
over 1918, and this despite our
miserable shipping facilities on
the high seas
In tie light of these facts,
was there ever a, time when the
farmers Of Iowa and other Corn
Belt states can view the future
with as much assurance, or
when they can so we'll afford to
treat fairly every other great

SO that it may adequately dis
charge the heavy shipping
burdens which will undoubted-

Does not any man know that
if the thousands who are this
moment hunting f,r work in
Chicago, st. Louis. New York,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland and 9th
err large cities were probably
employed that 1t would mean a
high price for what the farm
er has to sell and that It would
be rejected ia the receipts OF
every mprch nut and the OUT
put OF every factory in the Ma
ton!
In view of such a serious
state of aff;tira, can the aver.
age farmer or business man af.
ford to oppose the small in.
crease in rates which is neces.
saryl to once more put the rail-.
roads upona sound basis? Is not
