IOWA LEADS, OF COURSE.

In the course of IN article published
few days ago in the Freeman-Jo Journal
our eXuberant friend and copious writ
err, f. II. Martin, formerly of this city.
extOlIs the virtues of Los Angeles coun-
ty as Il stock producer and of southern
California as an agricultural region Of
wonderful productivity. He declares
that Los Angeles county produced more
livestock products in 1920 than any
other county in the United States. the
value being more than ST. 100000.
willie the total value of the agricul-
tural products of southern California
was S32l, 1874, OO1.
Los Angeles county and southern Cal
ifornia certainly made good records.
but southern California embraces a
very large territory, the entire state
having an area of more than 1lS,OO0
square miles, practically three times as
big as Iowa. hence if Mr.. Martin re-
fers only to the southern one third Of
the state he is taking in as much land
as is contained in the entire state of
Iowa. Yet in 1920 Iowa farms produc-
ed upwards of $S00,0O0,00o worth of
farm products exclusive of livestock,
or considerably more than twice as
much per acre as Southern California
did
Los Angeles county certainly did well
in the production of live stock i'll 1920.
But it must he borne in mind that Los
Angeles county is much larger tnan the
avera &C. Its extreme length is about
7j miles and it is nearly rs wide and
the country must contain about
five thousand square miles. This is
only an estimate made from the map,
as we have no figures at hand TO vcri
fy it. However. Los Angeles county

FOR THE FARMERS,

President Harding has signed the bill
|lC-aliZing combinations of farmers in
marketing their products and they can
combine TO fix prices if they want to
50 far as the law is concerned. The
war finance corporation was revised at
the request of the farmers and the
emergency tariff was enacted to AID
the agricultural interests, besides a
Number of other things have been ac-
lcomplishcd in the interests of the great
agricultural industry of the country.
Yet some people are saying that con-
ercsS never does anything for the farm
prs. That statement is now unfair III
view of what congress has actually
leone in the past year or two. II the
farmers could and would combine. and
they will some day. and put fair price
up0n the things they have TO sell 1t
would result in prosperity to the entire
country. because when the farmer IS
getting good prices he is Il good spender
land buys literally of the things he
wants. That helps all kinds of bust
IncSS. as there are so many farmers that
they can make d markc, for the things;
they consume. OF course there is Il
possibility of cXtCrtiOn on the part OF
farmers. but there is no probability OF
such thing. If eXtoItion is INDUCED
in it can be dealt with after the fact.

bill granting farmers the right of com
Elnillg it was. shown by Senator Norris
that the Standard Oil company of Neb-
r;:ska had during the past ten years
increased its capital stock from $780,
600 to $3,O0O,0OO out of profits and that
il had during all those years declared
dividends amounting to from 33H. to
30 per cent. Guess that company was
able to make water run in any direc-
ton it wanted to and it saw to it that
it flowed into its stocks and bonds at
high pressure.
But the laws of nature continue to
work just the same asserts MIR. Bah
son. Wonder where he got that idea,
anyhow? What has the laws of nature
to do with the marvellous profits made
by the Standard Oil company OF Neb'
raska? Or what have those laws to
do with the present price of steel prod
ucts with the PittSburg plus freight
plans or of cement with its same
nefarous policy? Or what have they
to do with the price of many other
commodities the production OF which
are limited to the needs OF the market
and selling values are arbitrarily fixed
The Freeman-Journal takes issue
with Babson when he declares that a
protective tariff, and paper credit Will
not help the farmer. Paper credits
will help many of them tide the pres
cnt stream of adversely while a pro
tective tariff will stop the inflow OF
goods from Germany. Japan and other
countries where labor is Scandalousiy
cheap. and will give the American artl-
san and manufacturer the chance TO
supply the American market place, the
est market in the world, and these i'll
terests thus employed will consume all
the American farmer can produce.

TWICE as many rs Rhode Island, i've
ciShths as many as Massachusetts or
as many as an average congressional
district III Iowa. hence its product ion OF
SIl00o.0OO worth of livestock products
in 1870 was not such wonderful thing
after all. 1t sounds big. of course, to
be able to say that Los Angeles county
produced more livestock products than
any other county in the United States,
but ii is not such marvellous produc-
ton when it is remembered that the
county is nine or ten times as big
as Hamilton county. Moreover, the
population of Los Angeles county must
be not far below three quarters OF a
million.

money can make no better investment

In speaking of the improved situa-
tion of the land market the Waterloo
Courier said few days ago:
from various parts of Iowa comes
the news that land values arc stiffcn-

COL. AINsVORTH OFF.

Some newspapers of Iowa are pub
fishing IL statement recently made by
Col. AinswOrth, of Des Moincs. about
the increased value Of corn, which is
misleading and if the said papers
would use their noodles just a little bit
the error of the colonel would be ap-
parent Now everybody knows that
1owa's corn crop was around the HOO
100000 bushel mark last year. \ little
more or less makes no material differ
encc as to the point Of being so easily
mislcd. Col. Ainsworth said that 60
per cent of this crop is now in the
hands of farmers and added that it is
worth now $27O,OOOOOO more than it
was last December when it is worth
only fifty cents Il buShcl. Suppose
it has gone up 80 cents bushe and
we have 260,0OO.000 bushels, that would
only add S7S.000,00O to its value. The
Dcs Moincs News is one of the papers
that accepted the colonel's statements
as Il matter Of course and proceeds to
tell the silly fellows who burned corn
last fall of the crime they committed.
But if they had sold the corn and
bought coal how would they have real
lied anything from the increase in the
value of corn! Besides. the burning
of corn may have had soma influapro
in increasing its market price. 1t is
sure tilat if enough corn were burned
II would double the selling price of
what remained.
