Must Watch White Pine Rust

,TIt's up to the nurseryrne and plant
crs Of Iowa TO preserve rigid 'inspec.
ton against the eswhite pine blister rust
which, in the past few weeks, has
broken out in New England and en-
tirely killed many trees In short
time, says the forestry department at
Iowa State college. The situation Is
so grave that associations are asking
that all gooseberry and currant plants,
which assist in the development of the
disease be destroyed over entire New
England. 1t is thot that the disease
may thus be checked before 1t de-
stroys the best stands of timber In the
northeast.
Altho Iowa is some distance from
the infected area, there is always dan
ger of the disease being carried with
nursery stock Practically all OF the
native white pine timber which for
merly was found in eastern Iowa has
been cut, but the trees have been ex-
tensively planted. 1t ranks among the
best evergreen trees for planting In
Iowa, for ornamental work as we'll as
for shelterbelts and wood production.
The forestry department at Iowa State
college has measured plantations IN
Iowa less than so years old, which
have yielded more than SO board feet
of timber in that period.
A little care among nurserymen ana
planters may prevent the destruction
of this tree in Iowa, the department
says.

the state of Iowa from Is to 20 per

There are at~tie present time 10Y
wards in state institutions. Food Is

There has been no increase in wages
of superintendents or other employees

Iowa Real Dairy State.

That Iowa has almost reached the
billion dollar mark in the amount OF
dairy products she produces is the IN
teresting fact of some estimates made
along that line by NJ. Mortensen. head
of the dairy department at Iowa State
college.
Iowa last year produced S9,S34. .0Ob
lbs. of creamery butter worth $25,559
TIA. Mr.. Mortensen estimates that
there were 100000 gallons Of ice
cream manufactured. worth $2,sOO 900.
The value Of milk used for direct con
sumption was close to SIC, 100000. The
value of farm dairy butter, $4,000, ,OO0'
and the skim milk used as farm ami
NAL feed, $1O,000,000.
Only comparatively small amount
Of cheese is made in Iowa, but 10 per
cent of the amount consumed here.
Just 7O4,463 lbs. were made In the
state last year worth $4,000.
The value of the calf and the value
of dairying to soil fertility have not
been considered. u

Defective Teeth.

of the attempt Is heightened by the
fact that the president raises the ques.

This was demonstrated in two.

The complete results Of the test repre-.
sent probably the most comprehen-

any college. s,.{o}- So ~, ~
1t took one hour and II minutes to
plow an acre. The length of burrows
was 5S4 feet. Dead burrows were 300

The Harrison law is very strict in
it's regulation, by federal authority, OF
the sale and use of narcotic drugs. 1t
is pity that there is no such an en-
actment to prevent the altogether too
free distribution of the dope. "he kept
US out of war" The use OF this slo.
gan is as bad as the drug habit. 1t
tends to lethargize the public mind. 1t
sets up false visions in the brain, like
those of opium and hasheesh. 1t de-
stroys the sense of value In political
thinking. 1t means the destruction OF
the national spirit as surely as the
continued use of morphia means the
destruction of the individual spirit.
The cure Is to quit it.
