ICE STORAGE HOUSES.
Clear Lake Men to Engage in Business

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Sept. 1s.--The need of
large ice storage house in Clear Lake
for the purpose of shipping ice during
the summer to various points over the
country has been realized by a group of
Clear Lake business men and they are
planning the erection of such build
ing this fall. For many years a great
harvest of ice has been annually gar
nered at Clear Lake. Thousands of
tons of the frozen deep are shipped
every winter to various points thruout
the country where 1t is stored for sum
ner use. Other thousands of tons are
stored in Mason City for the use of the
city. Clear Lake has her own ice
houses. But no provision has ever been
made to supply the demand which
comes during the summer from places
where they failed to secure sufficient
supply.

| Special to Times Republican.
| Sioux City, Sept. 1S.-King Corn has
won over Jack Frost In game which
was not even close. The corn harvest
ers are gathering In the crops while
the big ears are ripe and the leaves
and stalks are vet green and succu-
| lent. and there will be stacks OF fodder
as we'll as cribs bullying with yellow
corn.
While Iowa will produce $4,000, 900
( bushels Of corn on basis of thirty
| two bushels to the acre, the reports
from correspondents over the tri-state
territory tributary to Sioux City indi-
cate that the yield will average close
to forty bushels an acre, In some cases
running as high as seventy-five BUSH
| els.
Spring rains, which amounted in
some localities to floods, which washed
out the crops and made second and
later planting necessary, left perhaps
10 per cent of the crop sensitive to the
excessively hot and dry weather of the
past two weeks and the result will be
q small percentage Of >"chaffy' corn,
but the great bulk of the crop has
reached perfect maturity. and in the To-
calities Of northwestern Iowa where
the soil is heavier than in Nebraska
and South Dakota, only weel; more
at the most is required to put all va
rieties Of corn beyond the possibility
Of frost damage.
Large Acreage and Increased Yield.
The acreage Of corn in this section
10 reported larger than usual and in
the majority of reports It is also shown
that the yield Is heavier than last year
and In several cases exceeding that of
several past seasons.
While not bumper" crop In the
usual meaning of that term, reports
from special correspondents Indicate
conclusively that the present corn crop
is plentiful and highly satisfactory.

RAISE MANY POTATOES.
Clear Lake Growers Have Surplus
go SupnlxA OF. Thirty Cars. 49,


Clear Lake, Sept. 1s.-Clear Lake
potato growers plan to ship about
thirty carloads of potatoes to points
in northern Minnesota this fall The
sandy soil just east of Clear Lake
has long supplied Mason City and
Cleak Lake with most Of the pota-
toes consumed in the two cities This
year the immense potato fields have
yielded such an enormous harvest that
in addition to a quantity Of the vege-
table great enough to supply every
man, woman and child in the two
cities for the winter there are enough
to ship. away over thirty carloads.
Most of these will go to points in
northern Minnesota where the de-
mand for the tubers is most heavy.
Among the many big growers of po-
tatoes in the soil near Clear Lake
which is especially adapted to their
needs, E. H. Culver is perhaps the
biggest.

Home Garden Hints

Strawberry plants are now making
a substantial growth showing. Keep
out the weeds, hoe frequently, and in
early fall plants will be thrifty to set
IN a new bed.
1t is none too early to manure a piece
heavily for rhubarb. Then cultivate it
once a week or so to incorporate the
manure thoroughly through the soil.
Rhubarb is a voracious feeder and re-
guires a large quantity of manure if
best results are to be obtained. One
plant highly fortified will yield a sur
prising quantity of stalks.
Currant cuttings of the new wood
are easily made and if done in early
fall ought to be well rooted so as to
be tr~ansplanted in spring. In some
towns there is never an oversupply of
currants, while if around 10 cents per
quart can be realized for them they
pay well. The large currants are most
profitable, such as the cherry.
The asparagus bed ought to have a
good coating of before winter
and then be we'll cultivated in.
Pick the pears shortly before they
ripen.

The First Potatoes,

SsAsSSS
Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with
Sir Francis Drake the honor of first
introducing the potato in England,
lived at Brixton, England, near Eliza
beth's House. Formby, in Lancashire,
also claims the honor of being the site
of the first culture of the potato in that
country. They are said to have been
grown there by a Formby man who
sailed with Sir Walter.
The earliest cultivation of the potato
In the British islands was probably at
Youghal, on the south coast of Ireland,
where this great navigator had an es-
tate.
1t has been generally accepted that
the potato was taken to Europe from
Virginia and that it was cultivated
there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks
and De Condelle both lent the weight
of their authority to this view, but it
has been ascertained that the Indians
of Virginia, though they used a number
of tuberous roots, did not know our DO
tato.
, One of these was the plant sometimes
grown as an ornamental climber in our
gardens and called by botanists Apios
tuberosa. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, and the French Canadians
knew them as pommes de terre, and
u potato, being a native Of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians of Virginia.
