to tell of their miraculous ride on a
fence post one mile down the Des
Moines river. They were rescued by
Marion Coleman. who resides south
of Frazer The boys had gone down
the river near Frazer with their grand
mother to see If they had fish on their
throw line. Frank beat his brother to
the river and in STOPPING over to pull
in the line lost his balance ana
plunged headlong into the stream.
James. tho only 2 years older, had the
presence of mind to try and save his
brother but SO swift was the current
that he was plunged headlong and
carried along. They caught hold Of
a post and fear made them hang on
until they were picked up by Coleman
who was fishing a mile below where
the accident happened.

Iowa State College graduate.
MIR. Hansen, who imported thirty

from Siberia a few years ago, does
not wish to force the crop upon opu-
lent Iowa." as he puts 1t, but believes
1t will prove a valuable crop to plant
as catch grain crop this year. Prose-
at present is grown by many farmers
as hay crop.

Mr.. Hansen recommends sowing
about ten pounds to the acre, drilled
or hroa dcssted. The farm crops de-
partment at Ames, however, believes
that If it is planted, fifteen pounds
should be sown in Iowa. The crop -
harvested with a self hinder, ana

inferior article can be sold on large

not only be good at the outset. but so
good that the progress of forty years
shall not develop any better article to

some counties reported surplus. The

Already 1856 farm labor bureaus have

in every county in the state within
the next few weeks. Many of the
bureaus have already placed from fifty
