vice Inquiry Report Shows
Plan to Save 100000.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 29.-Waste
and ineticiency result from the present
civil service system according to the
senate civil service commission, which
rendered its first report, suggesting
economies which would bring a saving
of at least $2,000,000, the committee
believes Here are some of the condi-
lions set forth:
Irregularity in rates of pay, with
large overpayments; multiplicity OF
fictitious and unnecessary titles, made
quate and inequitable methods of adj
vancement and promotion, unnecessary
duplicates of work, lack of proper quail
ifcations and preliminary training of
employees, lack of standards to control
output of employees and lack of esprit
de corps.
To remedy evils of the present sys-
tenn of employment control a bill was
| introduced carrying out recommends
| tions of the committee for system of
standards and regulations. This bill pro-
vides new salary and grade standards.
1t recommends that efficient employees
who now are overpaid be protected to
the extent Of 10 per cent of the maxi
mum rate to which they would be en-
titled under sound standards. Proposal
is made that the finance committee use
the committee 5 findings with respect
to the reduction of unnecessary forces
and that proposal titles be applied al
once to existing positions.
The bill does not affect the salaries
of present employees, as the committee
believes that the readjustment of rates
of pay on the proposed basis should be
made the subject of legislative action
The report says that an official ap
praisal made by the committee s exam
iners established that State employs
are overpaid $3S0,000 and that the I'm
; prepayment amounts to $4,000. 1t say
that 100000 may be Immediately savec

Cant Buy High Priced
Farm, Thru DUN Labor,
Says Federal Expert

Ames, Feb. 4.-Can a young farmer
who has paid down one third for his
farm and pays interest on a mort gage
for two thirds ever expect to own the
farm, was the all interesting question
asked of Assistant Chief T.. II. Thorn
son of the department of farm man
agement of the United States depart
ment of agriculture by one Of the two
hundred young farmers who listened
to him lecture on the opportunities of
the young farmer to own land, at the
Ames short course.
From complete investigation, J.
should say not" was the cold reply.
The speaker stated that the young fell
low who did get the ownership was an
exception. When asked whether he
considered land a luxury for the aver
age farmer at the prevailing prices.
the investigator replied that he would
not put it that strong. Farmers are
not living on their earning incomes,
for most of them have none, but they
are living on the increased value of
the speaker to the farmers who were
wondering how to solve abe problem
of farm prices for land.
"Out of thirty-f five thousand individ-
uals between the ages of q and 35
who live in the northern states and
who own land, one out of every hun
dred is married to his farm. Few of
them bought their farm by working
for it. For the young man. I would
advocate renting two man farm, for
a two man farm has a greater labor
income than a one man farm. Also,
tenant has the use of thousands of dol
lars worth of capital, for which he must
pay an average of only one-half the
rate of interest that he must pay on the
capital he must borrow in order to pay
for the land: in other words he must
pay double the rate of interest on a
mortgage that he pays in the form of
rent" said Assistant Chief Thomson.

Fort Dodge, Feb. 4. = Miss Anna
Johnson's project of starting a FAR
mers' club" at Burnside met with a
surprising response when more than
800 persons faced the zero weather to
attend the initial meeting, which was
held-in the Methodist church at Bum
side. Some member of almost every
familygin the community cast a vote in
the election. s. E. Manchester was
chosen president. and Roy E.. Heal,
secretary and committee of five was
appointed to draw up the constitution
and bylaws, and to prepare pro-
gram for the next meeting, which will
be held in March. r.
The organization intends to interest
itself in social and civic matters and
in things of interest to farmers. That
the club fills need, was shown by the
very enthusiastic response which Miss
Johnson's invitation called forth. The
church was packed, very interesting
program was given by the school chill
dren and many plans are being made
for future entertainments. ~,

by Iowa State College
Choice Master, calved in September,
1914, now weighs 1,1S0 pounds. A dark
red roam color, an abundant coat of
hair and a wealth Of mellow handling
flesh are his prize features. He en-
bodies all true beef type essentials

until June and from that time on has
had a nurse COW. At 3 months of age
he was started on a small ration Of
grain, Of whole oats, little bran, corn
and a little linseed meal, and had free
dom to a little clover hay morning and
evening, also a little silage at noon.
Thru May and half of June he was on
grass day and night and ate but q
pound of grain. a day. In midsummer
he was kept in the barn and the ration
increased to what he would eat. The
corn meal was also increased. About
Sept. 1 he was put on raion Of
boiled barley, rye and oats! To mix
ture of one and one-half bushels of
barley, one-half bushel of rye and one
bushels of oats, boiled ogether, was
added chopped beets, one-half gallon
molasses, a mixture of corn and bran
equal by weight and some linseed meal.
He was fed this three times day all
he would clean up. Alfalfa hay was
fed morning and night.

Three Year Yield From Trial Acres
Show They OutyieId Competitors.
Ames, Feb. 4. - When seventy far
| mers of Iowa each grow an acre of
Iowa 1903" and "105,' new varieties of
oats sent out by the Iowa agricultural
experiment station, with an average
gain in yield over old varieties of 4.92
bushels per acre, it is almost proof
positive that the new varieties "have
! something on their competitors.
This was not a happen-so gain. In
1914, in fifty-eight trial acres, "103"
led its competitors by 4.65 bushels per
acre and "1O5" by AIS bushels. In 1913,
iowa 1O3," in forty-four tests, out
yielded it's competitors by an average
gain of 3.76 bushels per acre. this In
a season of drouth.
The new oats are not the ordinary
commercial varieties generally grown
in the state: The breeding stock was
selected after studying and testing
several thousand plants for stiffness of
straw and yield of grain.
The new varieties are quite different
in character. 5t'Towa 103" is an early
white oat well adapted to ordinary up
land soils. while los is an early vel
low variety about three inches shorter
, than Kherson. and bred to stand up on
very rich soils where other oats lodge.
Farmers WHO, expect to plant. "1O5'
should remember that it is too short
for thin hilltops. Both varieties give
a comparatively light yield of straw, a
ton Of bundles usually threshing out
over 1900 pounds of grain. -
The seed at the Ames station this
year is somewhat discolered due to wet
weather last harvest. Tests have
proven it of strong vitality. however.
The Ames station is selling it for
planting this spring at cost, at these
prices: Lot of fifty bushels and over,

ten to twenty-five bushels, SIPS. Those
