tions from all provisions of the act are
proposed for women in domestic employ
ment, those working on farms, nurses,
and employees of canning factories,
which are faced with the necessity of
doing great amount Of work at one
time, when the crops are ripe for can
ming purposes. Adkins, of O'Brien,
introduced in the house bill also affect

to require school teachers to liquidate
contracts made with boards of educa-
tion, instead of indulging in the very
common practice, in Iowa, of breaking
contracts when positions that carry
higher salaries become available.
MOTHERS PENSION Law NEEDS
REFORMING.
Senator Taylor, of Independence, sees
the need Of some change in the law pro.
viding for the pensioning of widows
with children. At present the matter
is wholly in the control of district
judges. Senator Taylor contends that
in the very nature of the case nom
resident Judge would not be as familiar
with conditions as would some, authority
right at home, therefore he proposes to
amend the law making boards of SUPER
visors part of the administration of
the enactment. They would not be
independent of the court but work in
an advisory capacity to it. He con-
tends that some widows receive pensions
TO which they are not entitled while
others Who are deserving are denied
the support. By the way Senator Tay-
lor is an accredited minister of the gos-

A law passed some years ago permits
the publication of the proceedings of
boards of supervisors in. such papers
and original notices and other legal
enactments may be published in foreign
newspapers if such notices are printed
in English. Hook, of Winneshiek,
made vigorous protest to the favor

committee to which it was referred but
by a unanimous vote it was ordered

sents very strong Norwegian constitu-

county papers for years. In the senate
Smith, of Madison, introduced similar
bill and it passed that body unanimously.
COUNTY CROP AGENTS IN DANGER.
Under present conditions, county crop
agents are paid in part from member
ship fees paid to farm bureaus. It
seems that Rockefeller and other big
financial interests have been financing
county crop agents in many of the
southern states and through these rep.
resentatives have been securing both
information and concessions decidedly
favorable to big business, system of
exploitation if you please. In order to
head off this propaganda congress, in
passing the agricultural bill, added
section that prevents private funds from
being used in paying the salary of any
person affiliated with the departmental
agriculture. While this hit the subsid-
lied agents of big business it also pre-
vents farmers from contributing as
individuals to the payment of salaries
of county crop agents. This makes it
incumbent upon the legislature to pro-
vide some means of bridging the chssm
thus occasioned. A joint meeting Of
the committee on agriculture from the
two houses was held in the Governors g
office at which the matter was taken up
quite thoroughly. A law already exists

appropriate money to apply on salaries
