cate Review. and a pioneer resident OF
Muscatine county, passed away at his
home here Saturday. His death was
due to ailments incident to old age, the
editor being q years of age at the time
Of his death.
His parents came to Iowa, locating in
this county, when he was but little
more than a year old, and he had made
his home in the state since that time.
No announcement has as yet been
made regarding the future manage
ment OF the Advocated Review. but it is
understood that negotiations for the

IOWA LAND SOARING
Williams Farms Selling at Advances in
Price Of S35, $40 and SIS Over Year
Ago-One Quarter Section Changes
Hands Four Times in One Month.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, July 15.-Fifteen years
ago men Went to Alaska to dig gold.
Now they buy Iowa farms. That is,
they DO it If they are wise. And these
wise ones are getting greater returns
than did the hardy men with pick and
shovel who crossed the great Alaskan
SHOWS in search of little yellow mug
gets.
John McCarley sold farm the other
day which lies near Williams at an
advance of $50 per acre over what he
paid for it a year ago. 1t is a quarter
section piece. Mr.. McCarley is presi-
dent OF the First National bank of
Williams. He sold another quarter
section al $40 per acre more than it
cost him a year ago, and still another
at SIS advance.
Thus these three quarter sections
sold this year at just s2O.s0 more than
was paid for them a year ago, which
certainly is q pretty good return.
But there is another quarter section
farm near Williams which really tops
the record. II has been sold four times
in the past month, going up $40 per
acre each time. 1t is not thought there
is another farm in the state which can
show an actual advance in value OF $40
per acre in a single month.

IOWA CROPS uNDERflFlMATEp.

Assessors Make More Exact Report
Than Government Expsrts.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 15.-Township as
SCISSORS of Iowa do better job OF
finding out about the Iowa crops than
either the Iowa weather and crop serv-
ice or the United states government
crop reporters. The wisdom and value
of the law requiring assessors to re-
port to the department OF agriculture
the actual crop returns each year has
just been strikingly demonstrated IN
publication by the department IN It's
official organ, Greater Iowa." OF the
results Of the crop reports on 1911
crops, comparing the returns from as
SCISSORS with those from the other
sources
1t seems that the assessors found
that both the Iowa and United states
estimates were too low and that in fact
Iowa farmers raised more grain and
fodder than had been estimated. The
assessors found. for instance, that
whereas the Iowa crop report esti-
mated the corn crop OF 1911 at 2S1,000,-
900 bushels and the United States re-
port showed 305, 100000 bushels. the as
SCISSORS found that farmers had har-
vested $4,000, 900 bushels Of corn.
AS for wheat the reports showed a
similar discrepancy. The Iowa report
showed over 100000 bushels. spring
and winter wheat: the federal report
showed over 100000 bushels; but
the assessors found over 100000
bushels.
In regard to barley and potatoes the
situation was reversed as the assessors
found q smaller yield.
Following is a table showing the
complete comparison:

Their pitchers-Hall. Wood. O'Brien,

has not been up to its standard since

If. man for man. they are as good. but
they are going like wiidfire, and will be
hard to stop.
Il hope to win out, because 1 have a

go better than ever to catch the Red Sox

satisfied with the lead of the Red Sox,
and that 1 am overcontident of beating
