NAMING The Farms,

The naming of farms, custom OF
the east, is becoming more popular
in Iowa. Formerly places were des.
ignated as the Sewers farm, or the
old Whitmore place, the Crookham
home, etc. Since the rural mail ser.
vice made more careful direction OF
mail necessary, names are coming
into more general use and we have
Park Place Ridge Place, Oak Grove
Farm, Shady Lane, rrine's Retreat,
Windmere and others equally useful
in designating the location of people.
A good name that applies to individual
or place is as hard to find as a new
name for sleeping car.
