pr.diet. Record Food Crop.

"If potatoes are high in price this year
II will be the fault OF the middlemen or
retailers and not the farmers. declared
Mai GiIhank Twigg. of Markham, va,
at the Willard. II have made STUDY
of the food supply in so far as posi-
BILE and particularly with relation TO
the potato crop, and, in my Judgment
the potato crop this year Will be as
large as the combined crops OF the last
five years. Down in Virginia every
body is planting potatoes and farmers
who ordinarily put in few rows Of
potatoes have planted three or four
times as many. In Montana, where !
recently spent several weeks. the farm
ers are likewise putting in potatoes.
But they are also increasing their
acreage in all other crops. Montana
this year will make a record crop OF
wheat, in my opinion. Truck gardeners
are using every available foot Of
ground.
''It is not only in the crops that come
from the ground, but farmers are CIV
ing close attention to their stock. In
other years the farmer did not care
much about his hogs and cattle. Ii one
or two Of litter Of pigs died. it made
no difference, but this year the farmer
lis watching with the utmost care his
little pigs. So it is with cattle. There
will be greater increase in cattle this
year, believe than eyer known -

IN it and can not retire. 1t must now
go to the finish.
Too many of US incline to grasp at

that is futile. We may make up our

The Trade Route.

Making journey to Hindustan,
Finding path into far Cathay,
This was the way that it all began
A comet trail and caravan.
Donkey driver and merchant man.
Staggering eastward day by day,
Breaking a trail 10 Hindustan,
Seeking the markets of old Cathay.
A bale Of silk and China bowl,
A lacquered tray and an ivory fan,
Art to nourish the dreaming soul,
Tea and spice . for the inner man.
That's how the eastern trade began,
That's why road thru the desert
ran,
To the Orient as it's distant goal.
Over that trail for thousand years,
They came to the blue Aegeans
shore,
While the towers OF Troy and Trojan
spears
Rose and guarded the eastern door.
But the Greeks came by in a thousand
ships.
And the towers of Troy to the earth
were thrust,
And Helen, the fair with her Turing
lips
Is now but a whisper from the
dust.
But the road to the east was free
again,
And commerce nourished the needs OF
Out Of that commerce the arts were
fed,
Learning lighted its fires in Greece,
Literature rose with its bay crowned
head
And sang the glories OF trade ana
peace.
Today. the cannons cry out to kill,
And their thunders echo on every
sea,
AS the nations bid for that road head
still.
Where the trail Of the camel used TO
be.
When the battle flags again are furled
And the war for the Golden Horn
shall cease,
Throw the road head free to the wait
ing world
And welcome the Thousand Years OF
Peace!

The cribs were full in the fall. So
were the bins. We didn't sell any

IN THE EARLY DAYS.
~. Van Wyngarden in Oskaloosa
Herald1


Editor Herald: Since your story con-
corning me and the early days In Iowa
appeared in print I have been asked
many questions about how we lived In
those pioneer times.
We had been living in Holland, a
thckly populated country, enjoying
the most moderate climate, before we
came to Iowa.
Well, it was rather hard, especially
OF account of he absence Of fruit In
the Netherlands we had had many
kinds of apples, pears. peaches and
plums. strawberries, and numerous
other berries. Also we raised great
variety Of flowers and tulips Of world
fame. The big lilies used for special
Easter decoration grow in the bitches
of Holland by the thousands.
Apples were very scarce In Iowa.
Once a year they could be purchased
from wagons coming from the nearest
railway stations. which were from 12o
to $50 miles distant. We generally
paid cents for each apple.
One question in particular has been
whether We found blue grass here in
the early days.
biuSRIdSS ulN iOt oll6 o. J"
here but was brought to Iowa between
1855 and 1860 by the emigrants. The
seeds were spread from the ox-team
wagons coming from the eastern
state In a few years the grass Sc
cured enough hold to become common
and added two months more pasture
each year.
Bluegrass makes the best pasture
for horses, cattle and sheep. II the
SHOWS are not too Deep we Will us
ually have twelve months pasture.
The eastern emigrants did not go
any farther west than Fort Dodge. Be
yond Fort Dodge was called the great
American Desert. where II was Claimed
no rain fell.
But Iowa was not 80 bad. We had
many plums and crab apples, and IN
low places strawberries grew. We al
ways laid in good supply Of plune
and crabs for winter. In about three
hours we could often get fifteen bush
els Of pIums. Farther north ana west
they disappeared.

eral more rows. not by whole or
chard.
Perhaps it would do us all good to
compare things. Maybe we'd under
stand the difference between duty and
desire better than we do. There's
wide difference between buying $4,000
car and going without a $125 top
buggy
