RECORD CORN CROP
IN MARSHALL co.
Marshall County Declares II VIII
Break All Records If Frost Holds
OF Three Weeks. -,

Marshalltown, Sept. 3.-f the frost
holds off three weeks Marshall coun-
ty will show the biggest corn crop
in the history of the state, according
to farmers living near this city.
Despite the scare over poor seed
corn and the backward weather OF the
early spring, the prospects were
never better, and all that is now de-
sired Is a fall late enough to mature
the corn properly Experiments made
in fields show the ears already well
filled Farmers predict that from six
ty to eighty bushels will be nothing
uncommon If the weather conditions
are forthcoming.
Although in the lowlands the
chances are that much corn will not
mature at all unless frost should hold
of unusually late, farmers estimate
that three weeks more Of warm wealth
er will put the bulk of the crop out
side the danger line. There Is much
corn near this city that will 90 seven
ty-five bushels to the acre, and IN
some cases corn that has been drilled
will 90 100 bushels, it Is estimated.
The fields are generally good stand.

PICKS STRAWBERRIES
ON SEPTEMBER l

Marshalltown, Sept. 3-Strawberries
for Sunday dinners on September l
were the delicacy afforded people In
this city who wanted to pay the price,
rs cents per box. Seventy-six boxes
of ripe, luscious fruit were marketed
In this city last week by Harlow
Rockhill, the Vienna township Bur
bank" who has propagated an ever.
bearing variety. The vines are now
still full of bloom and will produce
berries till frost comes, providing
there is an occasional rain. Rockhill
has picked from his vines 632 boxes,
or thirty-nine and one-half crates,
since July IA.
Rockhill Is making another interest
ing experiment, in the shape Of an
apricot plum that promises to be a
winner. He has taken plum created
by Professor Hanson Ut the state agri-
cultural college Of South Dakota, at
Bookings, made from combination
of the prunus simoni of China and
the South Dakota wild plum, and n.y.
bridized the blossom with pollen Of a
large apricot. The result is a large
plum, rich in flavor, and with the
odor of a peach, and having a pro-
nounced apricot flavor. The crop this
year will be used largely for planting
seedlings. dr.. -,

In respect to temperature and mois-
ture the past week was about all
that could be desired for the ad.
vancement of corn and for general
farm work. The lack of moisture Is,
however, beginning to retard plow-
ing in some parts Of the state. The
temperature was considerable above,
and the rainfall below the normal
until Saturday night when copious
showers occurred in many localities.
Corn made very rapid progress
toward. maturity and gives promise OF
an exceptionally large yield II no
damaging frost occurs before October
10, which Is the average date OF
the first killing frost Of autumn
at Des Moines. The effect OF dry
weather was beginning to show on
pastures and potatoes, but the showers
on the night Of August 81, and
September 1, will be OF great bene-
fit. Good progress was made in
stacking, and threshing. and prac-
tically all Of the small grain Is now
in stack or has been threshed.

Dear Comrade: For i also am one
of those who earned my right OF citi-
zenship in the bloody days OF the SOS,
but who was born to such right In this
country in 1912. I have seen the letter
YOU wrote to the Courier concerning
the grave of Revolutionary soldier IN
the Dahlonega grave yard In Wapello
county. Our society is keenly inter
ested in all such things and we are
anxious to know the name OF the sol
der mentioned. ..... - ~
II you can give the name and any
particulars, as to service, where ne
lived and from what state or colony ne
served, in the troops of what colony he
was enlisted, we will look into the mat
ter We should be loath to be thought
indifferent to a matter Of this kind.
Though we have investigated several
of these cases, this one seems new TO
me. But when the name comes, IT may
be that we shall find that the discov-
ery is not new. I mean new to the So
ciety by rumor or otherwise. We have
traced five such soldiers and placed a
bronze tablet to their memory IN the
Historical building. We have the rec
ords Of three more whose graves have
been suitably. marked. Not all the
cases prove to be capable OF being es-
tablished. 1t will be a favor to nave
the name and other information IN this
case. ...# -~.
