COIN GROWERS ASSOCIATION.
How Iowa Came to Be the Greatest
Corn State in the Union.

Today everyone in Iowa is inter-
ested In corn. There is corn breed
er in almost every county in the state.
Half the farmers in the state use
the termination test. The improve
ment in the quality of corn shipped
out of the state is the object OF ev-
eryday comment among the commits
sion men at the terminal markets.
Iowa corn is coming to be a stand
ard of quality wherever corn is
used.
The rapid strides in corn improve
ment that have been taken in the last
few years are due to large extent
to the work of the Iowa Corn Crow
ers' Association. Six years ago few
enthusiastic corn men met at the
short course at Ames and the associa-
ton was organized. Under the guild
ance of such men as Professor Hold
en-, ]. w. Jones, John Sundberg, Asa
Turner, NJ L. Bowman, Bruce Cross
ley, Fred McCulloch, and score of
others, the association has grown I'M
til today it is one of the foremost
agricultural associations in Iowa. This
year the detail work of the associa-
ton has been in charge of DR.. c. B.
Knowles. Copies of the premium list
may be obtained by addressing him
at Des Moines.
The meetings Of the corn show
have long been rallying points for
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1909-11-18

the corn growers OF the state They
have been centers OF inspiration, so
contagious that once man came
within it's influence he was lost to the
cause of more and better corn. The
corn sales, where ]. Wilkes Jones,
with tears in his eyes and a flow OF
matchless oratory on his tongue, plead
with crowding corn growers to buy
a sample Of the pTize, corn and start
on the road to prosperity will new
er be forgotten. Jones is in Idaho
now, handling big irrigation schemes,
but his enthusiasm has been passed
on to Crossley and Sundberg and NC
Culloch, and other members of the
association, and the work goes on
without check.
Through the work of the Iowa Corn
Growers Association the man with
the hoe has become the man with
the two-row cultivator, and the farm
err has come to be the leading citizen
of the state Nubbins have been chang
ed to ears, and two ears have been
made to grow where one grew before.
All classes of people have been inter
ested in corn. The merchants and man.
ufacturers have this year given $780,
900 worth of prizes. The show has
been moved to Des Moines to satisfy
the demand of the people of the city
for a chance to see the magnificent
showing of Iowa's agricultural prod
ucts. Iowa, with her waving corn
fields ever increasing the yield and
quality Of their product, is leading
the procession of agricultural ad.
vancement.

Leon added two more victories to

one week. Wednesday Weldon came
to Leon and our boys entertained
them with a game of tag and also
piled up score of 80 to 0 by way of
exercise. Just to convince Weldon
that it had been well done, Leon
agreed to play a return game at We'll
don on Saturday. After many mar
row escapes from drowning Leon ar
rived at Weldon in time for twilight
game. The game was the fastest on
record, two twenty minutes halves
with ten minutes intermission, being
played in just thirty minutes. The
time keeper is still busy refusing
fabulous sums for his watch. The
first half was an excellent exhibition
of water polo with high diving as a
speciality. Each side swan across
their opponents goal once, there be-
ing nothing but water to stand on, no
goals were kicked. The second half
was spent in making clay models of
the players and in convincing the
referee that 1898 has passed almost
twelve years ago. After a few min
utes spent in the mud McGinnis Slid
over the goal and fell into miniature
Missouri river for a touch down. The
final score stood 10 to 5 in favor of

Death of Mrs. Lovina Hill.

The subject of our sketch, Lovina
Johnston Hill, daughter of Peter and
Comfort Johnston, was born in West
Virginia in 1887, and fell asleep in
Jesus in the early morning of Octo-
Der 28,1909, being at the time of
her death ~ years, months and 6
days of age.
She with her parents, moved from
Virginia to Monroe County, Ohio,
when she was but four years of age,
and lived there until she was about
II years old when they removed to
Washington county, Ohio, where she
grew to womanhood. She was con-
verified at the age of IA years and
joined the Congregational church.
She lived consistent life until her
death. On the 10th day Of July, 1853,
she was united in marriage to Nc
eIntosh Hill. To this union were born
8 children, 4 sons and 4 daughters,
the husband and two daughters hav-
ing preceded her to the better world.
The remainder of the children all
reside near Pleasanton, all but her
son, John. They were all present at
the funeral with the exception Of
John, who lives in Oklahoma.
In 1886 they moved to Wayne
county, Iowa, where she and her hus
band united with the Baptist church
at Highland. They lived there seven
years, and then moved to Decatur
county, Iowa, where they lived until
death. Brother and sister Hill had
set Christian examples before their
children and grandchildren, and be-
fore the world in their Christian life,
that they had confidence in them
as Christians. They had both lived
to see six of their children grow to
manhood and womanhood. Grandma,
after the death of her husband, with
Libbiet, her single daughter, lived in
| Pleasanton, where she died. She was
a loving mother, good neighbor,
and true friend, always giving good
| Christian advice to both young and
old. She will be missed not only by
her own children and grandchildren,
but by all that knew her. After
prayer and song in the family home,
the body was taken to New Salem,
where the funeral was preached to a
congregation of sorrowing friends,
from Revelation IA chapter, 10 verse,
| "And l heard voice from heaven
saying unto me, blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from hence
forth: Yea, saith the Spirit that they
may rest from their labors; and
their works do follow them" For
the Scripture says he that endureth
until the end shall receive crown
of life. And again He says be thou
faithful until death and thou shalt
receive crown of life. These are
all definite promises and grandma
was entitled to all of them, having
lived devoted Christian life. Hav-
ing in view, with bright hope in
Christ, of an eternal home in heaven,
she had prayed while in her affection
that she might have peaceful hour
wherein to die. The request of her
prayer God granted unto her for she
fell asleep without struggle, her
home with Christ, to abide forever.
She leaves her children and grand
children with a host of friends to
mourn their loss. But their loss is
her gain. After the funeral services
the body was laid by the side of hel
loved husband and her father and
mother in New Salem cemetery tc
await the resurrection morn.

The accuser is Louis Calm, former

alleged crooked work three weeks be-
fore the meeting closed. The affidavit
states that in January last Shilling
