Boys which yielded five tons to the
acre and was cut three times, The
ground was treated with 1000 pounds

Dr. Leon s. Merrill of Orono said
that there was no reason why alfalfa
could not be grown in Maine with the
right kind of seed and proper knowl
edge as to how to grow it.
DR.. Raymond Pearl Of the Maine

one of the most interesting addresses
Of the session was Some ObSerya

George NJ. Whitaker in charge of the
Market Milk Section of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Or. Whitaker began by saying that
| there was a great unrest among thc
milk producers not only in New Eng

Dr. Whitaker said that frequently

Iowa Weather and
Crop Service

Des Moines, Iowa.
For the week ending Octo-
Der 2, 1910.
The week was very favorable
for ripening corn and the crop
is now practically safe from
any damage by frost. There
is, however, a small percentage
of the crop in the late-planted
fields that will need another
week of good weather to fully
mature. With the exception
of the 26oh and 9th the
weather was ideal. Light rain
fell on the Goth and light to
heavy frost occurred OH the
9th but no material damage
was done. A great deal of in
terest is being taken in the Sc
lection of seed corn and more
seed was harvested in Septem.
Der than ever before. The
rains of the previous week and
the early Part of the past
week were very beneficial
for fall blowing, pastures,
meadows and winter grains.
Most of the silos have been
filled and much more than the
usual amount Of corn has been
put in shock. Fall grains are
up and growing nicely. In
spite of the severe freezing
weather in April and May and
the drouth during the summer
months, the harvest has been
profitable, and with a few ex-
ceptions very bountiful. Tree
fruits were practically killed
and berries seriously injured by
the late frosts of spring and
the hay and potato crops were
shortened by the drouth, but
the small grains were above
the average in quality and
yield. Corn was damaged con-
siderably by the lack of moist
ure, but the average yield will
be above the normal and the
total weld will probably be over
00,000,000 bushels. The
shortage of the hay crop has
been made up largely by the
extra amount of corn cut for
fodder and the excellent condi-
ton of fall pastures. The po-
tato crop will be smaller than
usual, but the quality will be
fairly good.

standing, that the whole
scheme of our interests are
identical to the extent, that, if
we help the farmer to make
and maintain good roads, it
makes a better town, and as
the town grows and improves,
so it is reflected to the sur
rounding territory.
Good roads make good towns,
and a good town increases land
values, as a man looking for a
farm will always pay more for
land that is near a live town,
and one that is of easy access.
So the farmer and business
man of the town, are partners
in this cooperative building up
/ of each others interests.
We had the pleasure of NEE
ting in the Times office, today,
Mr.. John Merritt, of Pomona,
California. He is the son of
MIR. and Mrs. T. w. Merritt,
who will be remembered as cit
liens of this place some 80 yrs,
ago, MIR. Merritt being Freight
agent of the C. & N. w. road in
this city, at that time, and will
be remembered by those who
are left here of the cold gang. "
Mr.. Merritt lives in the same
town pomona, as Mr.. and Mrs.
A. S. Avery live, and they are
both we'll and favorably known
by the old citizens of Mo. Vail
ey. One remark made by MIR.
John Merritt, which reminds us
that we are passing away. He
said: "Most Of the names | re-
member, | found recorded on
marble in the city of the dead,
on the hill"
We notice that L. H Ray
mOnd. the Democratic candid
ate for,Representative, in this
county, has resigned from the
nomination. and that our old
friend, A. B. Case, of Cass town
ship, has been named, and his
name, will therefore, appear on
the Democratic ticket for Rep
resentative from Harrison Co.
We congratulate friend Case,
on his nomination, and hope he
may be triumphantly elected to
the position. Mr.. Case was born
in Lucas County, Iowa, in 1854,
and came to this county in 1865
where he has since resided. He
isa farmer by profession, a man
OF sterling worth, a good and
pleasant speaker, and if cleo
ted he will worthily sustain the
honor of the county in the halls
of Legislation at Des Moines.

Farmers and Business Mems
Meeting at City Hall
An interesting meetiD,, of
farmers and business men was
held at the city hall last night,
to go over the plans for an I'M
portant road Improvement }ead-
ing into Missouri Valley. The
road as contemplated starts
from the Northwest corner of
the Kenneth Brundage farm
across the slough to the Illinois
Central tracks, thence follows
the line of the Weatherly lat
eral ditch. crossing the road
|south of Geo Weatherlv's
house to the bridge across the
Bower ditch.
The proposed road will make
an outlet for people living in
the Vicinity of Harris Grove
and will shorten the distance
int Missouri Valley about one
and one half miles, besides
eliminating several hills. The
project is entirely feasible, and
the right of way has been Sc
cured through the Gilmore
land, and the farmers in the vi
cinity have contributed quite a
sum of money to help pay the
expenses of establishing the
road.
| Inc meeLlng was called to
Interest the Commercial Club,
and the business men and get
their assistance to get this road
through.
A committee was appointed
to solicit funds to help with the
preliminary work and $250OO
will be donated by the business
men, as they realize the value
of all road improvement, which
will make it easier to reach the
town, and is a direct benefit to
the business interests of the
community.
Meetings of this character,
are of mutual advantage to
both farmer and business man,
the getting into closer touch
and the give and take spirit
} which prevails, cements a closer
J friendship, and a better under.
