generally agreed that the document
is not sufficiently up-to-date to war
rant undertaking legislation dealing
with certain far-reaching problems.
1t is simply question Of overhaul
ing an old piece of machinery, so TO
speak, and putting it In shape to fit
modern necessities.
For the Farm Bureau, or any 9TH
er agency, to carry through a pro-
gram of legislation dealing with
farm tenancy only to\have 1t declar-
ed unconstitutional contingency
by no means impossible-would be
waste of time and energy. Worse
than that, it would postpone action
for another ten-year period. Hence
! the interest taken by the Federation
/ officials, for they believe this matter
too important to be further delayed.
The outcome of the election is a
distinct victory for the Farm Bureau
Federation. incidentally ii adds one
more to the list Of accomplishments
brought about in a quiet way by this
organization. 1t illustrates, too, the
efficiency of the Federation ma
chinery for mobilizing and directing
the voting strength Of the organize
tion on short notice.
Every ten years for long way
back this question OF calling con-
stitutional convention has been sub
mitted to the voters as prescribed by
law. And every time II has been de-
feated, for one reason or another,
chiefly. no doubt, because no organ
lied effort was ever put forth in be-
half Of it.
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 a statewide cam
paign of any kind at that late hour
looked like hopeless task. Howev-
| err, the Federation machinery was
put in motion. and between Wednes-
day noon and Saturday night prac-
tically every one of the 100000
members had been reached and ap-
prised Of the desire OF the Fedora
tion officials to carry this question
at the polls. That the campaign was
effective is proven by the vote, and
no thinking man who is acquainted
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 II Is over and the matter
settled, expressions OF approval are
heard In various quarters. The need
or such convention Is pretty gen
orally conceded, and the Iowa public
seems quite disposed to thank the
farmers for their good work.

by state constitutional amendment.
The Federation proposes to get
actively behind a constructive legis-
lative program OF some kind for the
improvement Of farm tenancy condi-
tions, and that is the sole and only
motive that prompted the officials
to inaugurate their eleventh-hour
campaign for farmer voters to favor
the constitutional convention.
They want to be sure OF their
ground before attempting legislation
along this line. The Constitution OF
Iowa is a very ancient instrument.
1t has not been revised since 1857.
Extraordinary changes have taken
place since then, and 1t is pretty

for Federation members to rally in
support Of the measure.
In some quarters it has been limited
that the attitude of the Federation
had something to do with the So
called farmers strike" recently ex-
plotted by the middle-west press.
Others think they see an attempt TO
tinker the state constitution in some
mysterious manner to make the way
easy in favor of collective bargaining
for farmers organizations.
Nothing or the kind was contem-
plated. Collective bargaining is a
problem for statutory regulation
anyway, and will have to be disposed
of by federal legislation, rather than

the dry fodder.
Many Of the farmers have followed
the practice Of filing their silos with
dry fodder after the silo has been
emptied or nearly so. In almost every
case the fodder will need the addition
of considerable water TO make good
silage. The water may be put in the
fan-box of the ensilage cutter. Many
farmers, however, pump the water di-
rectly into the silo.
Silage made in this manner is not so
good as that made from green corn.
Cattle like it and do well on it. 1t
is reported that last year farmers
filed their silos as many as three
times with dry fodder The fodder was
cut at the same time as the corn for
ordinary silage and was left stand.
Ing in the Geld until needed.
