Senator Lodge advised the graduates of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology to be-
ware of the ''closed mind, " which led to the re-
mark by one present that our young men go to
college not to form their minds but to decorate
them It is easy to agree with that statement
but the real trouble with our student body IS
the idle mind. There is not so much danger
of closing opinion to new experiences or being
over decorated with mental accomplishments as
there is of sheer laziness in using the mind at
ALL The primary cause of the trouble lies IN
the learning of facts without indication Of how
to use them.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU G1vEg

The people OF keOkuk should not forget Tia.
departure for war ism t all splendid tears ana
bright flowers-that the waving OF flags ana
the strains of martial music are not all that
should come from those who remain at nome
while the militiamen are on the line Of duty
Let s get right down to the ugly, sorroW1ul
fact of rent and grocery bills confronting the
families of some of the boys in khaki. 1t is
not questioned that there may be real distress
in some homes in Keokuk following the depart
ure of the family breadwinner Heartaches
may be softened by sympathy expressed IN
words, but material wants can only be renewed
by practical demonstration of the shortest
line between talk and the pocketbook An OF
ganization is in process of formation in keokuk
that will have for its purpose the receipt anu
distribution of funds collected from the pubic
and to be used for the benefit OF those lett at
home.' This movement is not in the nature OF
charity It is duty we owe to the men VINO
have responded to the country's Gala duty
we owe to sense of patriotism. Living ex-
penses are high. We don't want mothers ana
sisters working in factories as result OF son
or brother being summoned to the front.
Now is the time to get down to brass tacks.
There is printed on another page OF The Gate
City call for subscriptions to fund that VIII
be applied to the relief of dependents OF our
soldier boys who are in need OF such sustenance
now denied them because Of the enforced alb
sence of the wageearner. Every resident OF
Keokuk is urged to fill out the blank with a
statement of the amount that will be donated
each month during the tendency OF the trouble
with Mexico or until the return to keokuk OF
the troops. No sum will be too small for con-
sideration. Give as your means will allow
These blanks when filled out should be brought
to The Gate City office and they will then be
turned over to the proper organization, when
perfected. Those who don't fight should pay
the bills Of those who do-the family bills as
we'll as the fighting bills.

adaptable to Iowa. The pencillana
and Sudan grass showed heads form
ing, but both were of ample LEAKAGE
to be of value. The rye was dead
by the flood as was also a field Of
incarnate clover and one of soup
beans. Singularly two percent. of cab.
bage came on after days of flood and
much more of soy beans and cow
peas. Cane was sowed some weeks
after harvesting crop of oats and
Canada peas, so cane is both Sec
ond and catch crop. Had cane been
sowed promptly after the corn season
was past it would be amply nutritious
before frost.
On sand, asparagus seedlings and
young grape vines and a few musk
melons stood days of food, but all
started new growths. The parts of
pole limas above the flood lived and
growed right on, making good seed,
but the poles should be set like posts
and be seven feet out Of the ground
stay there" is the farmers best
motto, applicable here and second
only to safety first anywhere. White
clover stood to stay. Tomatoes stand
no show in flood. Onions were not
ruined. Beets were a mess and so
hurry to dig to save for some will
come out fine when dry land appears.
OF fifteen varieties 1 think a long,
horizontal growing tuber like Uncle

the bottoms or anywhere on upland

afterward except the Kaffir, Of which
part was cut and cured already. Not
only did the rest stand, but the blades
refused to be blown off as were the
blades of both field and sweet and
Jerusalem corn. For all practical pur-
Kaffir and makes it a suitable Iowa
crop. The blades Of it looked green
when the seed was ripe. Frost did
not spoil the harvest. Poultry prompt

after harvesting crop of spring rye.

went over it over three days. It

and made much fodder and grain
green, but out of the dough stage,
and so Kaffir is second and soiling
crop.
On heavy black to yellow clay land

been able to plant corn as planned.
The cultivator and harrow gave a
shallow seed bed and then cane,
Kaffir, Sudan corn, turnips (three
kinds), cowpeas, panicum crus gall
penciliaria and rye (earlier), were
sowed in small tracts last Of July.
All were flooded for days, but all but
cane was four feet tall with heads.

On low lands last year even cotton:
woods died at the roots and so did
plums, peaches, gooseberries, cur

apples took root. Red raspberries
gave up, but a few blackberries came

Voice Of the People
1.-THE Gate City does not assume
responsibility for views expressed by
correspondence
seasonabIe and Practical.

To the Editor of The Gate CITY:
This season is one of the seven out
of thirteen statistics allots us as too
wet. Three out of ten are too dry.
Practically all are too wet early and
too dry at some time. Hence, both
drainage and irrigation should be
calculated. No set of engineers are
agreed on all details and this means
more scientific study is essential. IT
is practical to use tile both to drain
and irrigate without change OF posi-
ton. No farmer wants rural credit
forced onto him by way of some dis
trict scheme and all should insist on
ample study of soil and location be-
fore acting Jointly in any enterprise.
Iowa has virtually promised that II
the United States will do the leveling,
Iowa will see to the internal drain
age" section 1875, ct seq, but this is
all a legislative privilege and not
legal duty. Hence it is neither sea
sonable nor practical. 1t is neither
scientific nor equitable. Yet one sees
| the demand for United States help
now in a season that indicates there
| has been too much modification or
flood run off to suit the channel capa-
| CITY. On local interest being shown

! study and planning of such capacity
