ON PASSING THE BUCK.
Suggestions From Mr.. Gratebar 20 Philip
on the Conduct OF Life.


Passing the buck Philip said Mr..
Oratebar, as applied to our conduct In
life, is a somewhat slangy and yet vigorous
and IL must be admitted not altogether
infelicitous substitute for the form 'evadinR
the responsibility
sAs used in this significance pwhen We
say Of a man who has been confronted with
some situation out Of the ordinary that he
passed the buck we meal that he has
swaded the responsibility Of settling IL
himself and shunted it on upon somebody
else.
Passing the buck ia the common resort
Of weak men, and most men are weak-in
this fact, Philip. lies the great opportunity
for the strong man-and so you may often
noe a buck passed from one man to another
along a whole line Of men who, as it comes
b him, each in succession, passes it up
until IL comes to the head man Of the estab-
lishment for settlement. They each and
all are doubtful Of their ability to settle IL
rightly or they are timid, and so they pass
b buck up to the head man, who Is the
head man because no has discovered an
ability TO settle things and because he is not
afraid.
-Philip, when the buck comes to you In
fAe line don't pass IL. Take the bull by the

Here you will have need for the exercise

eexerness to settle things and to use au-
tnoFtty usurp the functions Of the man
above you Respect his authority and

BIG IOWA CORN RANCH
ONE FIELD EXPECTED TO YIELD
$4,000 BUSHELS.
Is Largest in the World-Farmhouses
on 1t Make a Small Town-Own-
er Passes His Winters in
Chicago.

Odebolt, Ia.-When it is considered
that there are such corn fields in Iowa
as Adams l ~5,000-acre ranch at this
place, producing 525, 900 bushels every
season, and employing regularly 105
men, it is little wonder that the state
of Iowa has a 400, OO0,O 900 bushel corn
crop for 1906. Before long 200 men
will start on the $4,000 acres of corn,
which will all be husked from the
shock. Then the stocks will be shred
ded for the fat cattle before spring.
This corn field is the largest in the
world. The full $4,000 acres was
planted with tested seed and is expect
ed to yield an average of more than
35 bushels to the acre. This is iconsid-
cred a small average for Iowa corn
this season.
Thirty-seven double stalk cutters
will be used to bind the corn in the
field this fall. Mules are employed al
most everywhere to do the heavy draft
work or the farm, and there are over
200 of these animals kept there con
stantly. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams and
family are at present at their winter
home in Chicago and the farm is in
the hands of it's manager.
With the exception of a large num-
Der of feeders which are purchased
every fall, no cattle are raised on the
big farm except enough milk cows to
keep the help supplied with milk. Last
winter Mr. Adams had 5000 sheep
hr0IIohf from hfc Month nolyNfo ronnh
for feeding, and 1t is announced that
he will do it again this winter as soon
as the present yardfull of cattle has
been marketed.
The affairs at the farm are conduct
ed with as much system as In any
large business office in this city. There
is a main office and headquarters
where the manager of the farm has his
desk. 1t is here that Mr.. Adams him
self passes a large part of his time
in summer The farm is divided into
sections, and each part is under the
direction Of a subforeman and worked
by his force of men.
All the houses of the employees are
located in n place near the center
of the farm, making a small town. A
schoolhouse is also erected here for
the children of the workers. The farm
and its methods are a revelation to
the visitor. Adams is an enthusiast
for good roads and all through the
place he has built handsome drive
ways.
There is another farm in Sac county,
Iowa, which contains 5000 acres. The
land there Is not all TILED as on the
Adams ranch, and hence it is not OF
70 general interest to the public. 1t
is, though, among the record-breakers
in this state for acreage owned by one
man in one contiguous piece.

CHURCH WOMEN PICK APPLES.
Earn Money to Pay Off Debt and Help
Solve Labor Problem.

Louisville, Ill.-The women of the
Christian church of Flora are raising
money by a novel means to pay off the
debt on the new $40, 900 church edihce
and In addition are helping to solve
the abor~ question that is confronting
the apple growers Of Clay county.
They were given permission to haul
and sell to the evaporators the Gull
and windfall apples in the large or.
chards in the vicinity of this city and
the entire feminine membership and
the Sunday school children gathered
apples in the Nancy orchard. The
women earned SIS for their days work
and will gather apples in other or.
chards surrounding Flora every Sat.
urday until the apple season closes.
Mrs. r. S. G. Reaugh, president of the
Ladies' society of the Christian church,
has the supervision of the work.
Although the apple-picking season
will not open until later for the Ben
Davis apples estimates place the mum,
Der of bushels of apples exported from
the five shipping sections in Clay
county at 200, 900 bushels, or nearly
$4,000 barrels. The five e~vaporators
in the county are using 5000 bushels
of apples daily and are estimated to
have used 10000 bushels of apples
this season. The apples are selling
readily and numerous buyers r in
the field.
The labor situation caused by the
scarcity of hands is delaying the pick
ing. On account of strikes the wages
range from $1.50 to SO a day. Only
$1.25 was paid earlier in the season.
