Tama.
The Tama county corn crop Is practi-
scally out of danger of frost. Some
pieces would be damaged if a frost were
to come this week but the great major
fity is out of danger. The corn crop will
be OF the bumper variety in this sec
ktion. Good judges refer to several
fields south of the river that will aver
age sixty bushels to the acre. The
Tama county average ought to be in
the neighborhood Of forty bushels per
acre this year. Late potatoes are
turning out well and that tuber prom
isss to be a drug on the market. Fall
pasture is good and the second crop OF
clover is nearly as heavy as the first,
It has been good year for TaMa coun-
ty farmers.
