new FOUNTAIN
Extra Drug Company Putting in New
Soda Fountain. Needed by Trave-
lers ever River to River Road

The new fountain for the Extra Drug
Company arrived the earlier part of
this week and was put into place and
properly contested and set up by an
expert from the factory.
The fountain itself measures ten feet
in length and is constructed entirely
of marble, onyx and the heaviest gauge
german silver; it is of the so called
"Iceless" construction and is guaran-
teed perfectly sanitary and germproof.
The buffet is Of heavy dark oak, hand
some in appearance and fitted in the
latest 1912 style. The whole apparatus
il certainly a work of art and is the
best fountain ever installed in small
town, in fact there is no better fountain
to be found outside the big cities.
Not satisfied even with all the new
and modern Improvements that the
new fountain possesses this active and
progressive firm has gone farther than
most soda water dispenoers would do
and installed complete filtering plant
to be used in connection with their
fountain. The water from the main is
lead through filter and into settling
tank, freeing the water from all impur-
tiles and from the tank the pure water
enters new and scientifically built
carbonator where it is properly carbon.
ated to be Of just the right degree of
gas, thereby insuring An absolutely
pure and uniform beverage at all times.
No water not filtered and purified will
be used in and around the fountain and
this in connection with the use of only
the pursst and beat grade of fruits and
syrups will insure absolute purity and
sanitation and so eliminate the only
serious objection to the old style
fountains.
The firm does not believe in doing
things by halves but all their members
are imbued with the right Booster
spirin and maintain that nothing il
too good for Extra.

to be Convalescing

Mrs. Dan Stetzell died at Clarinds
Asylum for the unfortunate last W eek
The good mother was taken there a
few years ago because she could receive
skilled treatment for her disease. She
was thoug ht to be getting well when
the family in their anxiety brought hel
home hoping the change would hasten
her recovery.
She grew rapidly worse however and
she was again taken to the hospital,
where she died. The body was brot
to Audubon for interment. The fam-
lily is well known in the county and
they have the sympathy of all in their
bereavement.

EXTRA, IOWA, THURSDAY, MAY g. 1912
RAISE MORE SPUDS
High Priced Land Demands More
Profitable Crops, and Potatoes as
Now Grown Fill the Bill

One of the changes in methods of
farming, which seems to be made ne.
cessary in Iowa by the high prices of
land, is the cultivation of more potatoes.
High priced land demands more
profitable crops than were necessary
before it reached the present level. And
if properly used in the plan of crop
rotation, potatoes are the most profit
able general crop that can be grown in
Iowa, while they enrich the soil at the
same time.
In several counties of Iowa where
land has reached the highest prices,
the acreage of potatoes is very large.
In 1909 Grundy and Scott Counties led
the state with a yield of more than
1850, 600 bushels each. Tama and Mar
shall also ranked high. There were
twenty counties whose yield exceeded
200, 900 bushels each. But Audubon
County is not among them for she pro-
duced hardly more than half this
amount.
By the old methods of potato culture,
which were very laborious, the average
yield was between eighty and one
hundred bushels per acre, and the
potatoes were often scabby and poor in
quality.
By the new methods, yield Of $50
bushels or more is secured with less
labor, and the potatoes are of much
better quality.
1t is a fact beyond question that q
net profit of $50 or more per acre can be
realized from potatoes. A number of
Iowa growers last year realized more
than$l50 per acre above all expenses;
and little hand work needs be done
beyond cutting the seed. The follow
ing points seem most important to
observe:
Select well drained soil-not low,
fiat ground.
| Clover sod, or we'll manured stubbls
ground is best.
Cut seed large with at least two good
eyes on each piece.
Soak seed in diluted solution of for
malin to kill scab.
Disc ground until it is thoroughly
mellow.
| Cultivate several times.
Spray with lead arsenate for bugs and
with Bordeaux mixture if necessary for
| blight.
Machinery for planting, spraying and
digging are not expensive.
