Webster City, Nov. 10.-The govern
ment's recent call on Iowa for great
quantity Of canned pumpkins to feed
the soldiers will have to go by default.
At least this is the opinion of Web
ster City grocers, who declare they
have been unable to procure any of the
home grown products since the first
heavy frost, which is said to have
killed practically all of the states
crop. It Is estimated that Iowa cam
ners have been unable to purchase
more than 10 per cent of the number
of pumpkins preserved last year.
Ask Farmers to Help.
The farmers have been asked to
ship all of their available stock to the
canneries instead of feeding 1t to cattle
this winter. Iowa is said to be the
only state in the union which ordinar-
lily could fill the government order.
Farmers in communities have been
asked to get together and ship in car
load lots.
Webster City grocers have been un-
able to buy enough home grown pump
kins to supply the city trade. 1T IS
my information" said one grocer, that
the first freeze several weeks ago de-
stroyed the largest part Of the Iowa
crop before Il had been taken from the
fields. l have been supplying my Gus

However. we have received no word

that the supply will be short. / under
