progressive young farmers in the
state was in the city Tuesday
and called at this Office and
showed us a letter from the
Farm and Ranch 81, 100000 corn
contest to the effect that he had
received the third premium,
which was $500 in cash, for the
best ten ears of June corn sent
from, not only Arkansas, but the
best from four states.
Mr.. Boyd stated that he only
worked this corn one time after

We are glad to know that the

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

{
For the week ending Sept %, 1910.
The first three days of the week
We're clear and very warm, but the
last four were cloudy and cool with
generally heavy rain on the 22d and
23d. Corn made rapid progress toward
maturity during the early part of the
week and about So to so per cent. of
the crop is now safe from an ordinary
frost Much of the remainder will re-
quire ten days to two weeks to be
safe from damage from heavy frost
and would be seriously injured by
freezing temperature within that time
Rapid progress was made during the
early part Of the week in cutting corn
and filling silos. The late rains have
put the ground in fine condition for
fall plowing and that work, together
with seeding fall grain, is progressing
rapidly, with large increase in the
acreage of wheat. The early sown
winter wheat is up and is growing
nicely. Considerable hay was put up,
especially on the Missouri river bot
toms. Late potatoes continue to i'm
prove where the vines were not killed
by the drouth, but the crop will be
light. Pastures are in excellent con.
dition for fall and winter feed.

CUTS STATE OUT OF TAX.
Supreme Court Rules On spansler
Bequest to Poor.

The supreme court has ruled that
the Delaware county commissioners
through unique tangle in litigation
involving the collateral inheritance
tax law, form charitable institution.
Mrs. Grace R. Spangler, who died
on February 3, 1906, left bequest to
the dependent poor of this county in
the way of farm, which was ap-
praised at $4,000. Mrs. Spangler's
will, however, named the county
board of supervisors as trustees-the
income of the tract annually revert
ing to the inmates at the county
home-and provided that on March
is of each year the dependents with
their invited guests for the day might
be served a big dinner. The menues
of the "Spangler feasts,' as they are
called. have always been elaborately
planned courses. The affairs have
also been featurekby the attendance
of many guests we'll known in the
professional or business circles of the
county, by addresses, readings and
musical numbers rounding out the
one-day-in-the-year programme of en-
tertainment.
AT the death of Harry Spangler,
Mrs. Spangler's husband, title to the
farm was not left to the beneficiar-
les, but the income only was to revert
to the dependents. The state made
an effort to collect the inheritance
tax. The farm had been in the mean
time given second appraisement,
which cut the first valuation in two
or placed the land at figure of
$4,000. The state was awarded 5000,
but the state treasurer took exception
to the second valuation, and the exc
cutor appealed from the payment of
the 5000 levy.
The supreme court has affirmed the
states contention insofar as the
$4,000 appraisement was involved
but has cut the state out of levying
the 5000 tax.-Des Moines Register
and Leader.
