THE NAMING OF FARMS
-Four Mahaska Citizens Take Ad-
vantage of New Law.

Only four owners of farms in Ma
haska county have taken advantage
of the recent law passed by the leg
islature permitting them to have the
name of their farm registered. Own
ers of farms can register them under
certain name and description and
no other farm in the same county can
be of the same name. In some cOun-
ties many farm owners have register
ed their farms under different names,
while in Mahaska county only four
have thus far chosen names.
If the farm is sold it will be trans
ferred under the name given by the
former owner, but is just portion
of the farm is sold, the part sold will
be described as heretofore.
Out of the four Mahaska farms that
have registered names, three are sit
uated in Harrison township. Those
registered are:
c. e. Bolibaugh, THE Naples
Harrison township.
John Arnold, Prime Grove"-Har-
rison township.
M. H. Tulliss, Harri.
son township.
c. l.. Haworth, Riverside "-Union
Township.

COST OF INSANE KEEP
The Increase Made by Board Of Con-
troll Means $4,000 for Mshaska.

Because the board of control has
increased the cost of caring for each
insane patient from $12 to S14
month, the cost of care of such un-
fortunates to Mahaska county alone
this year will be over $4,000. In
former years the cost to the county
for each insane patient at the asylum
per year was S144, but hereafter 1t
will amount to S16S. The increased
cost went into effect March 81. For
the quarter ending June 30 the cost
for the maintenance of patients from
this county in the hospital at Mt.
Pleasant amounted to S2,29753. Dur
ing that quarter the number of in
mates listed was SO. The cost of
maintaining the feeble-minded from
Mahaska county, who are cared for
at Glenwood, for the quarter ending
June 80, was only S49.3O. During that
quarter there 20 listed from this
county. ...n
1t cost Mahaska county S243.7S for
the maintenance of orphans at the
orphans home in Davenport, for the
quarter ending June 80. There are
IL listed from this county for whom
the county pays maintenance. while
five pay their own costs and five
others pay half the costs.

oskaloosa-Waterloo Interurban.

Traer Star-Clipper: The surveyors
of the interurban found an easier way
to cross Wolf creek, one mile west of
the former survey, and it is possible
the change will be made, especially
if the farmers along the west route
will do their part toward the encour,
agement of the project. The new
survey runs through the Merritt,
Weisflog and Davis farms, joining the
former survey on the Gum farm.
This would bring the road close to
Geneseo church.

WILL TEACH APPLE PACKING
IOWA STATE COLLEGE WILL AID
IN GETTING RETURN.
burg, Council Bluffs and Mis-
souri, Valley.

Ames, Ia, Aug. 7.-Special: Apple
growers in southwestern Iowa are to
be shown how to pack their apples for
market to get the top prices for them.
The horticultural department of Iowa
State College has made arrangements
to conduct three apple packing schools
at Hampton, Council Bluffs and Mis-
souri, Valley, with an additional school
at Glenwood if it can be arranged.
They will be held between the dates
of Aug. IA and 20, the first session of
three days at Hamburg, the second at
Council Bluffs and the third and fourth
at Missouri Valley and Glenwood.
The schools will be conducted by
expert packers from an apple country
that has set the pace for scientific
apple packing, the Hood river apple
growing district of Oregon. A tele-
gram received by Prof. Lawrence
Greene from the expert makes certain
his coming. The schools will be open
to all apple growers and a fifth day
may be established at the state fair
for the benefit of the visitors.
These schools will put dollars into
the pockets of every apple grower
who attends" said Professor Greene.
Iowa orchardists have lost enormous
profits because they did not under
stand the packing and marketing of
fruit One Mills county man two years
ago sold his crop on the trees for
$780, the man who bought is harvest
ed 1,4OO barrels of apples; he knew
the game and he got more than ten
times $3.50 for the crop. Every season
there are scores of such instances
This profit ought to be saved for the
grower.
"If southwestern Iowa gets good
rain soon, it will produce a splendid
crop of apples. The apples are small
now, but fine in quality, bright in col
or and altogether free from worms. |

ty, Fremont, Pottawattamie, and Pro

RAIN WILL MAKE CORN
Effects of the Drought Now Prac-
tically Broken.

A fine rain Sunday night put more
vigor into the recovering crops, and
the effects of the drought are now
practically eliminated. The rain cover
ed the county, even drenching the
county farm which has been missed
a number of times this summer.
According the the guage kept by
Mr.. Vreeland seven Fights of an inch
or water fell in town. The precipita-
tion was that much or more practical
ly all over the county. The rain was
accompanied by thunder and lightning
and some wind, but little damage to
crops has been reported. In some
places the corn was blown some but
not badly.
1t is conceded on all sides that the
rain of Sunday night will make the
corn and will help out immensely
with good pastures.
