flee oif the clerk of the court in ai
action to recover the penalty .jvfor
importing contract labor. The de
fendants in the action are A. B.

company the horses to this country,
at the same time contracting with
theim to work. tor them (the Hol

of their expenses paid on the trip,

COUNTY HAD A PROSPEROUS
V:.-: v. YEAR IN 1911.
Delaware!.county produced an enor
mous corn yield in. 1911 and increas
ed the'production of-other grains over
former years, according to the annual
crop report compiled by Auditor Da
vis. ... '.- V-'-'.-j
The* report gives the total acreage
in com last year at 89,553 acres, and
the total production is estimated at
4,273,033 bushels. The total acreage
of the farm lands of the county is
329,611 acres, which is divided into
nearly 2,000 fanns. The corn crop
averaged around 50 bushels per acre.
While, maize leads the other grains,
the. county produced 1,411,159 bushels
of oats, 272,771 bushels of barley,
86,904 bushels of potatoes, 23,866
bushels of rye, 8,467 bushels of spring'
wheat, 4,186 bushels of winter wheat,
45,815 tons of tame hay, and 7,286
tons of wild hay.
"Milk from dairy herds numbering
hearty 30,000 animals went to Dela
ware county cre&meries during the
past season, and the pork production
reached 102,734 head of swine, accord
ln£ to the live stock figiires which
are a feature of the report. There
has been a noticeable increase both
in dairy animals and in sheep.
Figures which strike an average
from the reports of the several town
ships give the average wage of Dela
ware county farm hands at $28
a month in the summer and $24 a
month during the winter.

MANCHESTER IOWA, WEDNESDAY, MAY im
doubt
as to the result In' the .primary in
the event that I had remained a
candidate nor is it done becauste *t
the opposition to. me of certain chron
ic Irreconcliable®. within the demo
cratic party.
"Many responsible democrats sin
cerely believe that Mr. Connolly
ought this year to be given an open
field for the nomination and election
and my personal attitude .toward
him is beat shown by the fact that:
four years ago and again two years
•ago, I urged him to be a candidate
and offered to support him for the
nomination. He shoud have a unitize
party support now, and- I am unwill
ing that any act of mine should evea
seem to tend to party division.
"I must not close this withdrawal
without expressing my gratitude to
my friends who hftve circulated, my,
petitions in all the counties of the
dlstfiiqt, but one and particularly in
Dubuque county, where, without mop
ey and without-price moved only by,
sincere regard and unselfish loyalty,
they furnished me with over 1,000'
signatures ot the men- who vote the
democratic ticket in this county and
receive nothing in return, save the
satisfaction of political duty well
and faivorably done. To themi I am
indeed most grateful.
"To them, 1 may say that Maurice
Connolly will carry our banner
braively, falthfuly and ablly. He ia a,
genuine democrat and' I hop# and ex
pect that all my friends wSl gtve
him the devoted support that I shall
endeavor to render him.
