treasurer Can Collect Fees

Under the laws OF the state OF Iowa
the county treasurer may charge a fee
of from 81 to so cents for receiving
and answering payments OF taxes
through the mails. There seems to
be an impression abroad that the
county treasurer can not charge such
fees, but this is incorrect and the law
especially provides minimum fee OF
30 cents. 1t has been the practice in
this county, and in fact in all coun-
ties in the state, to make the charge.
The object of the law was to provide
for the extra expense entailed in the
clerical work necessary to handle the
payment of taxes made by non-resi-
dents.

is BOSS FARMER
Dictates Conduct Of State AgIicul-
tural Interests
HAS A VERY BUSY TIME
Every Farm Product Known In Iowa
10 Raised by inmates Of State
Institutions.

With more than 100000 worth OF
farming land in their charge, the
state board of control and IN particu-
lar Chairman John Cownie are today
the busiest farmers in Iowa. Mr..
Cownie is row 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.
State Owns Many Farms.
A total OF 1883 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
land is worth considerably more than
$1,000,000, or in excess of 800 per
acre, The acreage is divided as fol.
lows:

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 work
at the state institutions. More than
100000 gallons of milk were produc-
ed at the institutions in 1908. The
board has charge of $4,000 worth
of horses, $4,000 worth of hogs and
$4,000 worth of cows.
