relating to crop and live stock pro-

to the Exposition visitors. The Dept.
OF Agricultural exhibit will give
special attention to insects and dis
eases that are injurious to farm crops
and will suggest measures for their
control and elimination. The problems
of forage crops, pasture mixtures and
new grain will be presented in an in

Arrangements have been made for
the reproduction Of Corn Belt Farm.
In this exhibit will be shown in
graphic way, the farm as it Is ar

operation and help in carrying their
business over this period of ruinously
low prices"
There is no doubt that the Iowa
bankers are loaned to the limit and
are indebted to the Federal Reserve
$91 100000. But by sitting tight, and
keeping our balances, things will work
out
AT one meeting an official connected
with the Federal Reserve Banking
System was in favor of mediate liq-
uidation to the extent of marketing
all of 1919 crops on hand and the 1926
oat crop. This, he thought would clear
UP Iowa's indebtedness to the FEEDER
al Reserve.
Secretary Cunningham Of the Farm
Bureau called attention to the fact
that while Iowa might owe sol 900, 900
the crop on hand, including the
carry-over was worth not less than
$3.50 600, 900 and that under the circum-
stances there was scant need for any
body to worry over any question OF
Iowa's solvency. The Secretary declar-
ed that the farmer is willing to stand
reasonable share of the loss bound
to come from the result of deflation
but don't believe they ought to be
forced to sell at the present low
prices.
Numerous expressions of approval Of
Mr.. Cunningham's course were heard,
from bankers and others. A false i'm
preston that has prevailed in some
quarters to the effect that the So
called farmers strike" for So wheat
was started in Iowa was corrected.
It was also explained that the Iowa
farmer is not attempting to set prices,
nor to control prices but simply try
ing to shape his selling operations
in businesslike manner and in a
way that will avoid flooding an al
ready sagging market.
A majority of the bankers announced
that they are ready to stand by the
farmers in every way possible during
this period Of financial stringency. AS
was pointed out, if the 1920 crop
were all put on the market immedia-
tely the bulk Of 1t would have to go
into storage somewhere and somebody
would have to finance it, wherever it
might be, so why not finance it in
the hands of the grower.
The harmonious spirit that prevail
ed augurs well for the future. It was
made plain that the Iowa farmer and
the Iowa Banker are going. to pull to-
gether. That being true there is every
reason to look for decided improve
ment Of conditions in the near future.

To be eugenic in broad sense. the expect.
ant mother will not only study what to eat
that her baby may be we'll nourished-she
will also strive to fill her mind with noble
thoughts that she may impart mental and
morale strength to her progeny, and she
must previously have considered the health
and character of the man who is to be the
childs father. Nor will she fail to give the
most careful attention to her own health.
Comparatively few mothers seem TO compre-
bend the Importance of prenatal influence.
Those who do not appreciate responsibility
for the child's happiness and health so long as
it can not be seen, are entirely too numerous,
Medical science has shown conclusively that
the infants health depends in a large meas
ure upon the nourishment supplied by the
mother. Many frivolous mothers feed their
unborn babes known injurious substances from,
which any sane mother would shrink after
the infants advent.
Parents who give vigorous. healthy children
to the world do more for humanity than those
who amass large fortunes or win great vic
tories in battle. To give the child healthy
body and strong mind as fundamental to
good citizenship. is a problem that has begun
to command the attention of governments.
The greatest right of a child is to be well
born. It has a positive claim to an inheri-
lance of health. This is. an obligation the
parents and the nation owe to the citizen
Of the future. With but few exceptions. re-
proach may be brought upon the parents of
weak and puny children. Such persons have
ignored the defects of their bodily organisms.
Many have never in their lives sought reli-
able medical counsel with a view to attain
ing health. strength and vitality. IL has
been prophesied that the day is not far dis.
tant when the privilege of parenthood will
be denied those who can not promise pros
poets of normal health for their progeny.

this matter too important to be fur.
Their delayed.
The outcome OF the election is 9
distinct victory for the Farm Bureau
Federation. incidentally it adds one
more to the list of accomplishments
brought about in quiet way by this
organization. It illustrates too, the
efficiency OF the Federation machinery
for mobolizing and directing the
strength Of the organization on short
notice.
Every ten years for long way back
this question Of calling a constitution
al convention has been submitted to
the voters as prescribed by law and
every time it has been defeated, for
one reason or another, chiefly, NO
doubt, because no organized effort was
ever put forth in behalf OF 1t.
On Wednesday morning preceding
the election the Federation officials
were advised that their plans in con-
nection with farm tenancy problems
might miscarry unless the question Of
constitutional convention could be
carried at the polls.
To undertake statewide campaign
OF any kind at that late hour looked
like hopeless task. However, the
Federation machinery was put in mo-
ton, and between Wednesday and Sa-
turday night practically every one OF
the 100000 members had been reached
and appraised OF the desire OF the
Federation officials to carry this ques-
ton at the polls That the campaign
was effective is proven by the vote,
and no thinking man who is acQuain-
ted with the outcome of previous at
.tempts OF this same sort believes the
question would have carried without
organized effort In its behalf
Now that it is all over and the
matter settled expressions Of approval

need of such a convention is pretty
generally conceded, and the Iowa pub
lie seems quite disposed to thank the
