Land Was Leased.

According to Colonel Raley there
was nothing covert regarding his
transactions in the lands involved.
bill allowing entrymen to prove up on
their lands without residence when
they could show the land to be good
only for timber or grazing purposes,
he and Mr.. Crow advanced money
with which the entrymen paid for
their lands. In return for this money
advanced a 10-years lease on the land
was given Messrs. Raley and Crow.
The lease merely allowed them to use
the land for grazing purposes only, or
to remove the timber from the same.
According to Colonel Raley no timber
was ever cut by them on any OF the
5000 acres or more land which they
had leased. There was no agreement
whereby entrymen We're to sell their
claims at the expiration of the 10
years, or any other time. The lease
allowed the owner to reside on the
land If he so desired.
After the leases had been given to
Messrs. Raley and Crow. the land was
then fenced by them and rented out
for pasturing purposes. According to
Colonel Raley the revenue so derived
recompensed himself and Mr.. Crow
for the money which they had ad-
vanced the entrymen. He says that
whenever an entryman has asked to
be released from his lease his request
has been granted upon his repaying
the money advanced him and with
which he bought the land from the
government.
In making the leases with the entry
men printed blanks were used and
Colonel Raley says a blank copy of
the same was given to Inspector AL
exander at that time and one was also
forwarded the department at WASH
ington. He believes he had a full le-
gal right to make such a lease, and
also holds that the making OF such a
lease should in no manner prevent an
entryman from being given a patent
to his land.

A Spraying Calendar.

The Horticultural department of the
Iowa State college at the experiment
station has just issued an up-to-date
spraying calendar, which is of the ut
most Importance to the horticulturists
and fruit growers of the state. This
calendar is prepared in bulletin form
and deals rather more exhaustively
than usual with the general treatment
to be followed in spraying apples, plums
grapes, cherries, small fruit and vege-
tables.
Several pages are devoted to the
different spraying mixtures and care
full directions are given as to their
preparation.
In a short introduction Prof. S. A.
Beach calls attention to the absolute
necessity of every fruit grower in Iowa
spraying his orchard trees.
1t is evident from the keen demand
for former spraying calendars of this
station that the farmers and horticul-
turists Of Iowa are awaking to this
necessity.
The above bulletin may be obtained
by any resident of the state, without
charge, by applying to c. F. Curtiss,
Director of the Experiment Station,
Ames, Iowa.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For week ending May Z, 1906.

DeS NOlueS, iowa.
The past week has been abnormally
cool, closing with heavy to killing frosts
in all districts on the mornings of the
9TH and 18th. The minimum tempera-
lures were below freezing at numerous
stations, and possibly the more tender
varieties of fruits have suffered some
damage. In about one-third of the sta tie
in the western and northern districts,
the rainfall was above normal, but,
generally conditions were favorable for
blowing and preparations for planting.
The cool weather caused delay in corn
planting, but considerable progress in
that line has been in the southern and
eastern districts. A large area is in
readiness for planting, and rapid work
will be done within the coming week if
the weather is fair. All reports are
satisfactory as to the advancement of
grass in meadows and pastures, and the
small grain crops are doing notably
we'll, especially in the districts where
the acreage of wheat, oats and barley is
greatest.

latter part Of last week, guests at the
home of Geo. w. Sears, Mr.. Chase being
here on business connected with the
electric light plant, of which he is one
of the owners.
Wash Case, an old time citizen of
Leon, but for several years past resi-
dent of Mena, Ark. was visiting in this

A. M. Pryor returned last Thursday
from trip to Pittsburg, Kas., where he
went with some parties to look at land.
He came home over the Rock Island
and when he reached Lineville found
there was not single livery team in
town, and as he was anxious to get
home after his recent experience in
town, he cut out and walked home in
record time.
DR.. A. M. Pitcher and wife departed
last Wednesday evening for Amboy,
ILL.,, where he owns fine home, and
they will make their future home in
that city. A large number of their
friends were at the depot to say good
bye, for everybody was sorry to see
them leave Leon. DR.. Pitcher was one
of the most popular pastors ever
stationed in this city, and it was with
deep regret that his resignation as
pastor of the Nj. E. church was accepted
but the condition of his health made it
imperative that he give up preaching
and take absolute rest. Mrs. Pitcher
will also be missed, for she was an
ardent worker in the church, and a
warm favorite with everyone in Leon.
S. S. Homer, of Boise City, Idaho, was
visiting with relatives and friends in
this city Friday and Saturday. He had
been making short visit with relatives
at Decatur City. 1t has been fourteen
years since Sherman was in Leon, but
from appearances the western country
seems to agree with him. For several
years he has been engaged in the gen
eral merchandise business at Boise, but
recently sold his interest in the store
and is putting in an exclusive clothing
store in that city. He is also serving
his second term as county treasurer,
but does not have to spend his time in the
office as out there it is the custom for
the bank to furnish deputy to do all
the work for the use of the county
money.
