Every Farm Product Known In Iowa
10 Raised by Inmates Of State
Institutions.

With more than $1,O0O,0O0 worth Of
state board of control and in particu-
lar Chairman John Cownie are today
the busiest farmers in Iowa. Mr..
Cownie is now advising with super
intendents and farm foremen at the
state institutions to determine what
crops shall be planted on the more
than 1000 acres belonging to the
state
Every farm product known to Iowa
from potatoes and corn to tobacco, ap-
pies and sauerkraut will be produced
this summer at one or the other of the
fourteen institutions where farming
operations are carr on. Just how
many acres will be planted to pota-
toes and how many to corn is ques-
Ion that is left largely to Mr.. Cownie.
A total of 1888 acres of land is now
owned by the state, including the 200
acres purchased at Fort Madison last
week for the use o. the state peniten-
tiary. Mr.. Cownie estimates that this
$1,00O,O00, or in excess Of 500 per
acre. The acreage is divided as fol-
lows:
Soldiers home, Marshalltown---- $50
Soldiers Orphans home, Daven-
College for the blind Vinton-------41

children, Glenwood ----- 662

Anamosa penitentiary ---------- 257
Since 1901 the amount of land own
ed and farmed by the state has more
than doubled. the acreage increasing
from 1904 to 1888. Members of the
board declare that farm work In the
open air is the greatest agency in the
world for reforming vicious men and
women and for making useful citi
zens Of backward boys.
In addition to farming, stock rails
ing Is an important part of the worl
at the state institutions. More thar
100000 gallons of milk were produc
ed at the institutions in 1908. Tht
board has charge of $4,000 worth

KLONOKE PUNCHING
BAG FOR LARGFORO
Colored Middleweight Slows
Chicago Man Away in Sec
ond Round at Boston.

Boston. Nov. Sam Langtord, the
rival Of Stanley Ketchel for the middle
weight championship of the world,
made a punching bag of John Haynes,
otherwise known as Klondi6e, the Chi-
cago colored heavyweight. and put him
away in the second round Of their bout
at the Armory A. A. last night Before
the first round had advanced far the
awkward fighting OF the big Chicag oan
was the cause for loud cheering by the
crowd. Langford simply waded into
him. throwing piledriving rights and
let's on the head and body. His foe
hung on like leech. when he could get
close enough to make sure Of a good
hold.
Only once did Klondike lay glove on
Langford in the short time they were
enga ged. It was more of an accident
that he caught Langford with a left TO
the jaw as he was rushing. Langford,
half whipped, went down on his knee,
but was up like a flash, grinning as if
It was all a joke.

simply dubbed over with enthusiasm

said. "Coffroth is mistaken If he be-

come out of retirement. 1 honestly
thought 1t impossible for him to shape

to be a wonderful fellow.

Fidgets provoke wrath from
thoughtless grownups Often one
hears an angry fool shouting: why
can't you SIT still?" but the child can't
sit still: nature will not let it, but
is stimulating it through its nerves
to make 1t grow. The fidget arises
from lack Of proper play or employ
ment. Supply this or divert the at
tention to something interesting and
the nerve centers will have work to
do, the growing need is satisfied and
