Looker-On In Iona

Grinnell, Sept l6.-While 1t can be
fairly stated the corn cribs OF Iowa
are empty" still the amount OF old
corn" on the farms, in the aggregate
represents many hundred thousand
dollars of value. And the farmers
thus fortunate in having few hundred
bushels OF old corn on hand are IN
quandary one farmer near Newburg
has 1900 bushels. He can sell it to the
dealer for 80 cents per bushel or in
small lots to feeders at 60 cents. Now
if the frost defers its first fall visit
Till. say oct. /. this lot of corn will not
bring $500. Ii we have an early frost
probably $1,000 10 $1,000 will be added

case of betting on the weather
Il Is stated that farmer near Lis
comb has sold his entire crop of pota-
toes put in gunny sacks + o. b. Lis
comb at $120 per bushel. The whole
shipment goes 10 some point in South
Dakota where there is potato famine.

mentioned cases the yield IS from so

Skipper Only Well Man Aboard
Steamer Harley.
HELD UP AT OLD POINT
Vessel Bound From Brazil For New
port News in Quarantine With
Members Of Crew Suffering From
. Malignant Tropical Disease.

With each of the tweny-slx mem
bers of her crew suffering witt Tropi
cal malaria fever and twelve OF them
down in bed with the terrible malady
the British steamer Harley is at an
Choir in quarantine at Old Point Com
fort. No one except the federal quar-
antine officers at Old Point is allowed
aboard the ship and no one aboard
is allowed ashore as the disease as
very contagious.
The Harley arrived in the Roads
Tuesday from Avelo, Brazil, enroute
for this port to he painted at the
shipyard Many of the sailors were
stricken with the disease during the
run up from BraZ and when the snip
reached the capes twenty-five men
were sick. The vessel took aboard a
pilot and proceeded to Old POINT,
where the federal quarantine doctors
inspected her and ordered her In
quarantine. News of the disease
aboard the ship leaked out yesterday
Physicians say that the Tropical
malaria fever Is one of the most dan
gerous forms CT fever. 1t IS accom-
panied by an extremely high tempera-
ture and even il the patient gets on
his feet again. he never recovrs his
full health as the ravages of the dis
ease sap his vitality and leave him IN
a weakly and sickened condition.
The Harlev is under charter to load
a cargo of coal at this port for Ma
Mia, p. /. She carried steel rails and
other railway material to Avelo,
where a new railroad is being con-
structed It is probable that the YES
sci will have to discharge her entire
crew at the shipyard and ship new
men as the stricken sailors probably
will be physical wrecks. They Will
have to be sent back to England by
the steamship company.
