As rode along ~ the atIr0ad coach
last week, between Denison and West
Side, I saw many fields Of corn in those
low places beyond recall. Many of
those low places could be tiled and
crop assured every, year. SO far as ex.
cessive rainfall isFconcerned. have
seen many fields that we're even in
worse condition drained and the land
after draining become as good for rails
ing crops as any other land on the
farm. There is field right here In
Crawford county to preach the gospel
of draining the low. lands. Many of
the farmers in this county seem to not
attach as much Importance to the
value of drain tile as they do in other
counties. l saw a large district In
Buena Vista county reclaimed. Acres
of the land had been swampy for
years ond would only raise a crop of
grass in the most favorable years, but
now there are delds of corn and small
grain growing upon this formerly,
swamp land. Every dollar you in.
vest in filing your farm will increase,
the value Of the farm more than three
times the cost of, thing. Since land
has reached its present value it seems
strange that anyone would hesitate to
tile their farm If it was needed. !,

down the morning glories in the days
OF their youth. The fields were too
| wet for the cultivator, but the farmers
realized the Importance of getting the
weeds before they get the corn. The
recent rains have certainly made the
corn fields grassy, but leave it to the
Iowa farmer to be out on the firing
line early and late, if the rain maker
will just be reasonable.
Rockwell City Advocate: Organiza'
ton OF the Calhoun County Pure Bred
Livestock association was effected at
meeting held last Saturday evening
in the court house. The meeting was
attended by fifty prominent livestock
breeders Of the county. "A pure bred
sire on every farm" will be the slo.
gan of the new organization. The
purpose of; the association will be to
promote and encourage the raising of
more pure bred stock in the county.
1t also will help stock raisers to secure
pure bred stock and every effort will
be made to have them purchase such
stock within the county :, ,.ns .

Sheep Dipping Has
Been Put OF for Year

At a meeting of the state Live Stock
Sanitary board, held at Portland yesteI
day, it was decided to postpone the
dipping of sheep fer this year. over the
whole state, but it was ordered done
in the eastern part Of Benton, and the
western part of Linn counties. The
poStponement was made because of the
inability to secure labor, and because
the situation at present does not re-
quire a general dipping
1t was also decided to build a dip
ping vat at Vale if the necessary ar
rangements can be made. Ii is hoped
that the Southern Pacific can be per-
saaded to build the vat near the hot
springs in order that the water from
the springs might be used in the vat
1t is not known whether this can be
done, however, as the railroads are
under government control, and the nee
essary sanction may not be fortheoem-
