Logan, July 24.-As the summer
days shorten interest in the missing
Rev. C. C. Payton GIBBS away. During
the early part Of this month there was
scurrying Of people in any direction
word came of the presence of a man
in any respect answering the descrip-
ton Of the missing one. Now such re-
ports fail to arouse interest.
This because Rev. Mr.. Payton was
once before subject to aphasia and
disappeared from his home. 1t is be-
lieved he will regain his mental equil-
ibrim and return to his wife. This is
her belief. She is still at the Bap-
fist parsonage and watches the mails
for news of her missing husband.
Just one year ago, Mrs. Payton says,
her husband had his first attack of
aphasia. They were then living in
Santa Cruz, Cal The wires were kept
hot and every effort made to locate
him. Six weeks later he returned, hay
ing recovered his memory at Los An
geles. Where he had been or what
he had been doing he could not re-
call. In Los Angeles he made an effort
to find some friends there who could
tell him something of himself, but was
unsuccessful.
1t is believed he may not be far from
Logan now. He had little money when
he went and is believed to be working
somewhere under name not his own
nerhaps He Is a man of rather Strik-
ing appearance, IS years of age, Of
medium iheighth weighs about ITO
pounds and walks very erectly. The
family is popular in Logan and vicin-
ity. They have two children who are
with an aunt in Los Angeles. The
oldest is 10. Unless meeting with some
accident, it is believed he will return
as he did in California

Ames, July 24.-"At least ten acres
Of winter wheat on the farm'-that is
the fighting slogan of Iowa State Col
lege, which urges that farmers. at least
In the southern and central two-thirds
of the state, grow as large an acreage
Of winter wheat as possible.
1t will pay to plant winter wheat
There's no doubt OF that. The world
wheat supply is but two thirds OF the
demand. mo one need fear a slump
in the wheat market. Do the best we
can. the supply will fall short OF the
demand" says an agricultural author
ity. Iowa has never grown as much
winter wheat as she should, yet 1t is
a comparatively safe crop. There have
been seasons when it was winter killed,
such as last. but scarcely in the his
tory of the state have there been two
successive winter killings Of the wheat
crop. At least, it's worth the chance.
Two big factors in winter wheat sue
cess lies in early preparation Of the
seed bed and in planting good seed.

Selling Price Il Will Mean.

GN0V Tayo 10 Guy SSTV wv eASs
Selling Price II Will Mean.
II will be sacrifice Of profit to
market calves before they are finished.
points out the animal husbandry de-
partment Mt Iowa State College.
About this time each year many
feeders get short Of corn. They must
market some Of their calves or buy
additional corn. They usually decide
to market the calves because OF the
high price and scarcity OF corn ut this
season, and almost always do 1t at
loss.
Such was the case with one Iowa
farmer last year. who was feeding fifty
head Of calves. In the latter part OF
July he decided to ship twenty five
head, rather than pay 30 cents for
corn. This load. which was just aver
age, not the top out OF the lot. sold
in Chicago for s7,75 per cwt. The other
load he fed fifty days longer and sold
on the same market for $3.50 per cwt.,
or for n total OF $30.4S more per head
than the first load. There was little
difference In the market on the days
that the two loads were sold. as the
top cattle sold for practically the same.
and the only difference in the cattle
was that OF finish.
1t certainly pays to finish baby
beeves. This feeder could have paid
two times 30 cent price for corn and
still be ahead of the game.

LOOK FOR CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.
Hog Herds on Webster County Farms
Dying Of Disease.

0y"S W SiSSNoSs
Fort Dodge, July 24.-Webster coun-
ty is in danger of an epidemic of hog
cholera. Already cases of cholera are
breaking out in several of the town
ships. Especially in Douglas township
are the outbreaks rapidly spreading.
In one community there are four farms
which have lost or are losing hogs. On
two farms it is certain that the trouble
is hog cholera, and on two adjoining
farms the question is less certain for
the reason that post norton exaniina-
lions were not held. These four cases
are upon farms where there is more or
less chance Of INSTRUMENTATION
either thru the dogs and live stock or
thru the interchange Of labor.
According to DR.. Drach, U, S. vet

trict. In no case has he found such

SHOULD SPRAY DAIRY COWS.
Means Decreased Fly Annoyance ant
Increased Milk.

During the fly season dairy cows
should be sprayed twice daily. once be-
fore they are turned out to pasture in
the morning and again when they are
brought in. says the dairy husbandry
department at Ames.
Some Of the chemicals often used
in making such sprays are at present
very high in price. but an economical
and effective mixture can be made OF
= II quarts coal tar dip. u quarts fish
oil. / quart coal oil and ! pint oil OF
tar Mix this In 10 gallons OF luke
warm soft water. in which has been
dissolved l pound Of laundry soap.
Such a spray will aid considerably
in keeping the flies from cows. and
thus increase milk production. With
spraying machine, which can be
wheeled thru the barn. two men can
spray forty or fifty cows in about five
minutes.

IOWA FARM NEWS AND NOTES

To help farmers get good seed. the
agricultural extension department has
prepared a list OF men who have seed
wheat available. The list will be sent
to any farmer.
The college advises that oats be got
ten out OF the way and the ground
plowed for wheat as soon as possible.
Tests show that early plowed wheat
land returns from "a TO 326 more per
acre than late plowed. In case plow-
ing must be daleyed, 1t Is a good plan
to follow the binder Immediately with
the disc. or else disc between the shock
rows This will keep down the weeds
and help conserve moisture.
