TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE SEWING CIRCLE

Do you wear corsets? If so, you
are one of the women that the Ford.
ney-McCumber Republican Tariff bill
will compel to pay SIS, 100000 in taxes
this year. Proposed duty under the
Fordney-McCumber bill is GA per cent
or 81 times the wage cost. The pres
ent duty is 80 per cent on plain
cotton corsets or nearly twice the
present wage cost of 17.3 per cent. The
Fair Tariff League to whom you are
indebted for the statistics herein es-
Inmates that the proposed duty would
be a possible tax of $29,000.O00 for
the manufacturers, and cost women
at retail price twice this or $5S,00O,-
900. This tax is for manufacturers
not for revenue. In 1920 the govern
ment collected only $4,000 on cor
seth; only $4,000 in 1920. and in 1921
only $4,000.
The Fair Tariff League, which has
made specitl study of this bill, says
that the proposed duty will shut out
imports and compel women to buy
from domestic manufacturers at any
prices they dare charge. A domestic
manufacturer who is prosperous says
"It's an outrage" However, some cor
set factories are hard up, but so are
some women.
We make corsets cheaper and bet
ter than anywhere else in the world.
In 1920 the exports on corsets were
$50 times the imports.
The "a per cent tax on these corsets
is shown to be wholly unjust by the
fact that wages in the corset industry
are only 17.3 per cent
The Fair Tariff League says that
this corset tax is because women have
not known and have not voted,
Are you going to vote for this in
creased tax by voting the Repubh-
can ticket or vote against ii by vot.
ing the Democratic ticket?

DR.. M. V. P. Yeaman delighted his
former membership of the Presby-

Bethany, w. Va, delivered two very

was favorable and it may be in the
minds of this church to extend to him
a call.

have long haul to market and long
haul to get wood or coal back from the
market. Some has been burned, also.
by farmers who are so hard pressed fl
nancially that they cannot pay cash for
fuel.
1t is interesting that farmers have in
good many counties gone positively
on record against corn burning. In
many sections efforts were made in
farm bureau meetings to secure en-
dOrsement of a movement to burn at
least 100 bushels OF corn on every iowa
farm. Almost invariably county agents
report that resolutions to that effect
were defeated by decisive vote. One
county agent gave this bit Of informa-
ton: "The few men who talked most
in favor of corn burning are burning
coal and saving their corn"

Cow Testing PAYS.

The value Of COW test association
work has been proven in Dallas coun-
lty through the figures and data sub
nitted to the farm bureau Office by
Don Chase. tester for the Dallas COM.
ty Cow Test association.
According to Mr.. Chase. in the first
year of the test the average milk pro-
duction per cow was 1920 lbs. with a
hntterfat per cent Of 800 per cent, max
ing 223 pounds of butterfat per year
This steadily increased each year to
IL ,33333 pounds per COW per year, test
ing 3.o1 per cent butterfat, making 3G4
lbs. CT butterfaf yer year per COW. or
a total increase of 4O13 pounds OF milk
per year. which increased the test III
per cent and al pounds of butter.
This improvement came as result
of definite Information OF the perform
ance of each individual COW, the infor-
nation thus obtained being used to adj
vantage in culling and breeding.
The Dallas county association, i'll
spite of the present somewhat strained
economic situation, is in prosperous
condition. 1t is starting its third year
with p members and sufficient mum
her of cows to insure success for an
other year.

Select Poultry Early.

With the incubation season for pOul-
try only few weeks away. poultry
men will get better results with hatch
iEgs if they select stock for their
breeding pens early. According to j.
l.. Gordon, extension service poultry
man at Iowa State college, poor lay
crs can be kept out of the hatchings
by eliminating the eggs from Il poor
strain of careful selection and every
farmer can start this work in his own
flock by using eggs in the incubators
that come from high producing hens.
Be sure that hens are put in the
breeding pen that started laying early
last fall and have continued through
the winter.
The breeding pen is the one big
step by which one can build up and
|standardize the flock. Select thirty or
forty of the best hens that conform
10 type of breed owned. and also have
indications of good egg production
Place with these hens two good male
birds that have good breeding rec
ord, and the future generations Of the
flock will be remarkably improved,
year after year.

Ground corn will produce better re.
suits when fed to dairy cows than will
whole corn .and the difference between
the two will more than pay for the
grinding. say the dairymen at Iowa
State college. Corn fed to dairy cows
is worth sixty cents per bushel when
used this way and this value can be
increased by grinding.
Recently a series of experiments
was run to- decide the value. of grind
ing corn. In these tests it was found
that corn meal produced Z per cent
more milk and ii per cent more fat
than ear corn. Where corn and col
meal was compared with corn meal il
was found that the corn meal was
slightly in the lead, having two pei
cent better production i'll butterfat.
Even though the corn is extra cheap
the cows will give better account OF
themselves tV the tester it they ar;
fed corn that has been ground.
Anyone desiring further data on the
grinding of corn for dairy cows can
secure it from, bulletin 1875, issued by
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton.

The dirt floor is much used. but is
unsatisfactory in many ways. II dry,

The cement floor is much used 1t
