Farmers Eager for Ice.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, Feb. 3.-Wood & Sons
have completed the gathering of the ice
crop for the year and have two large
ice houses filed, containing over 300
tons. The quality is of the finest and
the thickness is about fifteen inches on
an average.
There is a noticeable difference this
season from previous years of the ea-
gerness manifested by farmers to put
up ice for their own use. Ice sells on
the river bank at 30 cents to dollar
per wagonload and the farmer hauls it
himself The sawdust is more costly
than the ice One set OF cutters are
kept busy on the river getting out ice
for farmers.

Spec.al to Times Republican.
Creston, Feb. 3.-Hazard Dunn. living

Gently lost thirteen head of yearlins
calves from too much feeding on dry
and musty fodder All the calves but
one that were taken sick died and re-
ports come from other parts of thu
county that there nave been many more
cattle dying from the same cause. The
wet weather has been such that much
of the fodder this season is unfit for
feeding except in small quantities ard
then the closest watch must be kept on
the cattle fed. 1t now seems that the
enormous loss of cattle reported from
the east end of the county some week :
ago is attributed to this same cause.

among merchants here. 1t has been
discovered that the checks are being
passed on unsuspecting merchants as
25-cent pieces. They are made about
the same size and weight as the silver
quarter, and in the early evening it has

of the realm as change. Complaints
have been lodged with the treasury
officials, and 1t may be that the use OF
the checks will be prohibited.

It is one of the surest and best paying of all crops and will grow on almost any soil and all parts of the country. Stranger still Is the fact that in some nelghbor- hoods we find a few farmers who sowed rye for pasture and their stock chickens and all have kept in good condition, with but little other feed. Yet their neighbors will say that rye is failure and no good in that section. I have never yet seen a country where rye would not be a fine crop for pasture. Sow more rye and have better stock, in better condition
 The Oat Crop.
 The acreage sown to oats is small and a great part of this was put in very badly, on rough, unprepared soil. The crop has made but feeble growth and in a great many sections there is a poor stand. Out in Texas and Oklahoma, where oats were

our farmers would break their lands deep in the fall and prepare a deep, loose seed bed, and on this drill in the right kind of oats, that the crop would be a paying one, as they come in at a time when feed is scarce The black or brown Russian winter oats will be fine for this fall sowing. I saw the other day a fine crop of winter oats in Alabama, all head ed out. and now furnishing good hay for the farmers work stock. Why could not all the farmers in that neighborhood or in every part of the state have a crop of oats now ready for feed, as well as this one farmer? These are questions and we see enough of these crops to prove that they can be grown and to prove all we claim for them. Sow more fall oats and have more feed and better stock
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-05-24

sown in the fall, the crops are fine and now practically assured, as they are headed and there is moisture to finish maturing a fine crop. The best oat crop by far that I have seen Is the Oklahoma fall sowed crop. With thls practical ob- ject lesson before the farmers I can't see why they will not all be benefited, and SOW their crops of oats in the fall.
 Now the old idea that all that is nec- essary to produce crop of oats is to daub them in any way, is very mistaken one. for the soil in order to produce a good crop of oats should have the same careful preparation as that for crop of wheat
 think that the fall season Is the best time for sowing oats in all the southern states, and I am fully convinced that if
