Folks called him . good-for- nothing.
On book-learning he was dense:
But when he would pound the horse

Governor Carroll Calls Attention Of
State to Selection Of Seed Corn
and Recommends Dates for
Selection.
TEST CORN CAREFULLY
Y Farmers Would Avoid Conditions
Such as Existed Last Spring,
Seed Corn Will be Selected
Soon.

Here and there a man OF means may
imagine that he is of some importance
N iowa, Here and there a great pol
lticlan lmagines that he is it in Iowa. |
Here and there some one who imag-
ines that he has grown famous over
night believes that the eyes of the
state OF Iowa are upon him. They are
all wrong. Iowa has but one king,
and that is King Corn. and like un-
to him there are no others From the
corner philosopher and the grocery
store prophet to the governor of the
state all are concerned about the king
OF Iowa all the time. And they are
Interested in his future as they are
IN his present prospects. And so Gov
ernor B. F. Carroll is advising the
state with reference to the very inn
portant matter of seed corn, and the
governor says:
If the farmers of Iowa would
AZ i'd the possibility of another such
condition as existed last spring with
reference to seed corn it must be done
by properly selecting and caring for
the corn that is to be used for seed
next year.
mo dout the efforts put forth to
secure careful testing of the corn
before planting has had much to do
with the abundant crop that is now
about ready to harvest but every
farmer ought to carefully select and
properly house enough corn, not only
| for next years seed, but should like
wise put away enough for two years
supply in order to guard against any
lunfayorable conditions that may arise
next year. In order to do this the corn
should be picked before freeze, care
fully selected and placed in a warm,
dry room, where there is no danger
of its heating.
II am indebted to DR.. Chapel, of
the weather and crop service, for the
! following information: BY Septem-
Der 10, 80 per cent of the corn will be
cut of the way Of frost BY the TWEEN
lty-fifth "a per cent, by the thirtieth 70
per cent. BY October tenth 81 per
Gent and by October fifteenth 90 per
laent. He likewise informs me that
the corn in general has grown so rank
and is SO full of sap that the greatest
care should be taken to avoid freez-
ling, either Before or after picking Do
not hang your seed corn in open sheds
even though they may be dry, but put
! it in a warm as well as dry place.
After the most careful and thor.
icugh investigation recommend and
Estrongly urge upon all the farmers of
the state that they gather their seed
corn some time between the twentieth
and twenty-seventh of this month and
1 that the greatest care be given both to
fselecting and caring for the seed.
Much of it mioht be selected before
the twentieth, bit all should be select
cd before the close of the month. Per
haps the nearest exact date that could
NE designated as Seed Corn day would
be Monday, September 3d. If, however,
the weather conditions should indi-
cate heavy frost or freeze previous

piled the air and the subsequent
crash and sudden application of the

sudden stop. Passengers were thrown

WEDNESDAY MEETING
Organization of Healthy Roosevelt
Johnson-crair' Club viii Take
Place Wednesday
Evening.

Another Lee county bull moose
club is aborning. On Wednesday even
ing the new club Is scheduled to step
forth into the political byways and
highways of Lee county, and hence
forth take an active interest in the
present national campaign featured
with a three cornered embroglio in
which the two old political organiza-
lions and a new one, born at Chicago
short time ago under the supervis-
ion, are taking an active part.
On Wednesday evening new club
will step forth from the Owls club
rooms on North Sixth street. 1t will
be bull moose organization, but it
will be an individual and distinct
organization from the one effected in
this city some time ago, or shortly
after President Taft had been nom
mated in Chicago to succeed himself
to the highest Office that the citizens
of this country can bestow on one of
its citizens. The organization now
aborning will be known as the
"Roosevelt-Johnson-Crail club.
Those fostering the movement are
responsible for the statement that the
new club, or such are it's intentions,
will be composed of that class of
humanity known as the middle class,
the real division of the voters able to
do things. Everyone interested in the
progressive movement is invited to
the meeting and to take part in the
election of officers. The new club,
said those in position to know. is

LAST OF GREAT
RANCHES SOLD
cudahy Lard Near Los Angeles, Cat,
1900 Acres Ii Size, Is Purchased
by syndicate-5ought in
1892 for 100000.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The passing OF
the last of the great undivided ranch
tracts in the immediate vicinity of Los
Angeles was marked in the formal
transfer by the heirs of the late Mich
ael Cudahy to a local syndicate head
ed and represented by w. /. Holdings
worth, of the famous Cudahy ranch.
just south of and adjacent to Hunting.
ton Park. Something over 2,0OG acres
changed hands in the deal. which in
wolves a reported consideration of ap-
proximately $4,000. 900. The purchas-
ing syndicate, which has been incor-
porated AS the Nadeau Ranch COM
pany, plans 10 subdivide the entire
property and lay off a town site dur
ing the present year.
The transaction is of great signif-
canoe not only on account of its mag
nitude, but because it |signalizes the
metropolitan advance of Los Angeles
and its environs. The huge tract is
actually almost a part of the city to-
day, the development s~outhwestward
having crowded right up to the bound
AIRY of the ranch on the north. AS a
crow flies. the northwest corner of
the property lies exactly five miles
from the city's center. The yellow
cars. with a fye-cent fare, touch this
point of the holding.
The Cudahy ranch Is the third
great acreage holding TO succumb to
the advance Of modern intensive de-
NnIOnnnnf in tho 1oct tU-n ,-nny. o,l
its sale involves one of the largest
lump considerations we paid for real
estate in this vicinity. The first Of
the deals mentioned was the trans
fer of the immense Van Nuys-Lanker-
SHIN ranch in San Ferdinando Valley.
where today $4,000 acres are being
cut up into small tracts by eager
homeseekers. For this vast holding,
which at its southern end reaches to
within a little over four miles of the
city limits. So. 800, 900 was paid over
by q syndicate of five buyers incor-
porated as the Les Angeles Suburban
Homes company.
OF almost equal significance was
the transfer about a year ago to anoth-
er local syndicate of close to 1000
acres of the old D~ominguez Rancho,
I sale which resulted in the establish
ment Of the model industrial city of
Dominguez and in the installation of
one OF the greatest irrigation systems
in the world for the intensive %cultiva-
lion on leased lands of close to 10000
acres.
The Cudahy ranch was originally a
part of the famous Nadeau vineyard,
which at II time produced nearly
4 third of the wine made in Cal
~ifornia.
The Nadeau homestead is today one
Of the most picturesque of the homes
Of the old days. OF the substantial
construction Of a generation ago, it
stands in a grove Of magnificent old
peppers and pines. q landmark for
miles around. 1t is tho intention of
the new owners of the property to
allow the house TO stand indcfi-
nitely.
