GOOD CROWD At SALE.
p. W. Webers's Offering Of ouroe
Jerseys on Last "Wednesday
Was We'll Attended.

p. w. Weberg's annual sale of Duroc
Jersey bred sows was held at his farm
in South Denison last Wednesday and
notwithstanding the bad weather q
good crowd of buyers was in attend
ance. Col N. G. Kraschel, assisted by
Col. E. T.. Malone auctioned off the
AZ head of bred sows and gifts, and
when the sale was t0taled up It was
found that the average was $40 per
head.
The offering this year was an exeep'
tionally good one and prominent breed
ers from a distance who were in at.
tendance at the sale stated that Mr..
Weberg has herd OF Duroc Jerseys
that is we'll up among the best in the
corn belt. The top of the sale was q
fall yearling by Crimson Wonder III
and ,Gano's Favorite, which sold for
SIS to F.. C. Russ, of Dow City. This
fall yearling was bred, to that grand
boar, Great Model. The next highest
priced sow sold was fall yearling by
Cherry Chief and Red Rose. which was
bred to City View Critic, and sold to
Mat E. Merfield; of Greene, Iowa, for
$40. IL aj@
1t was only year or two ago that
Mr.. Weberg lost many of his best an.
finals when the cholera struck this
part OF the state. Undaunted, howev-
er, by his heavy losses, Mr.. Weberg
started right In to build up his herd
and spared no expense In purchasing
animals of the best blood lines obta'
able. His herd Is now up to the high
standard it was few years ago and
he expects to again put Denison on
the map as the home of one OF the best
Duroc Jersey herds in western Iowa.

BILE Improvement since the organization
Of the club about a year ago.

The Washington Golf and Country
Club course sheds water like the pro-
verbal ducks back. Friday one OF the
heaviest transforms of the season fell
and two hours afterward not a trace
of the water was left except that the
little brook which flows through the
course looked like a miniature noun
tain torrent. Few courses could stand
a downpour such as the one referred to
and not have standing water on some
of the fairways. The greens at this
course are looking much better than
they were four weeks ago. At that
time they had just been stripped OF
crab grass and were quite bare, but
now they are in much better condition.
Howard Beckett, the pro has not had
much time to play this week over his
home course. Monday he participated In
the big pro fvesome over the Column
bia course and was at Wilmington, Del.
