Storm Lake Pilot Tribune: Some
Idespicable sneak stuck a heavy piece
of gas pipe in a shock OF corn on the
H. V. Geisinger farm the other day
when he evidently thought the pipe
would go through corn cutting ma
chine. Fortunately it was discovered
before reaching the machine. 1t
would have riddled the machine had
lit got into it and it would have been
fortunate if it would not have re suited
in the injury or death of whoever was
feeding the machine. That is pretty
small business, and it is too bad that
the perpetrator cannot be made to
answer to a charge of malicious mis-
chief.
O. S. Larson writes us that the
date of his DurOc sale has been chang
ed to October 10Th. Mr.. Larson, of
Logan, has been one. of Iowa's most
successful breeders for years and a
sale announcement by him is quite
an event. for all know it will be
strictly high class offering.
J. f. Byrnes' Poland China sale last
week was disappointing. Only 81
head were sold at an average price
of, about seventy dollars. There were
quite a number of home farmers and
breeders in attendance, but the breed
ers from distance were not present.

A. C. Spivey says: more than any
other animal, the hog has proven him
self to be the quickest and most profit
able way of marketing the car Of corn ;
yet this statement is true only where
he. is kept in perfect state Of health
from the time he is conceived until he
reaches the pork barrel. No animal
on the farm is more susceptible to
unfavorable health conditions, nor is
there one who will respond more
readily to favorable health conditions.
The old time notion that a hog is a
hog and. that he will take care of
himself if left alone, is absolutely
erroneous, and such opinions of the
hog have long since been removed
from the minds of men who are now

While the average Iowa is not in
terested in sheep and holds that it is
almost impossible to grow sheep while
vagrant ours roam the land in count
less numbers, the Fayette county
farmers hold different opinion. The
number Of sheep in that county is in
creasing and one buyer recently sent
out 1900 pound shipment of wool
from West Union which petted the
farmer 60 cents pound. Iowa ought
to be one Of the great wool producing
states of the union. She had plenty
of sheep and numerous wooden mills
in the early days. What could be
done then can surely be done now,
and when we again get plenty of the
raw material in Iowa it ought to be
worked up here, and converted into
fine cloth. instead of being sent out

Storm Lake Pilot-Tribune: Repre-
sentative farmers from all parts OF
the county to the number of ITO met
at the Commercial club rooms, Storm
Lake, on Saturday afternoon to dis
cuss the prices to be paid for husking
this fall Action has been taken in a
large number of the counties of the
state and probably will be in every
county. The prices agreed upon in
. this county are seven cents per bush
ell where an elevator is furnished and
eight cents per bushel where. it is
necessary to scoop off the corn. These
are the prices that have been agreed
upon in the other counties and also in
the parts of South Dakota and Ne.
braska where meetings have been
held. Considering the condition of
the corn crop in northwest Iowa this
price is higher than is necessary to
afford good wages to the average corn
husker, but it was thought best to
adhere to uniform price correspond
ing to the rest of the state. There is
just as much labor available at the
prices set as there would be if an
exorbtant and unreasonable price
was offered. Huskers are already
writing from the southern part of the
state and as far south as Kansas in
quiring when the husking season will
commence. Some state that they
would rather husk corn in northwest
Iowa this season at six cents per
bushel than to husk in their home
communities where the corn is poor
at ten or twelve cents per bushel.
i The War Department has requested

shells, the carbon in which is used

been suggested among the million club
members by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges, which conduct
the club work, to see which member,
which club, which district, and which
state can deliver the largest amount
of material in the shortest time. Each
member should try to furnish at least
200 peach pits, Or 7 pounds of shells
enough material for one mask.
Since more and better carbon is Sc.
cured from the pits of peaches, prunes
and plums than from other sources,
boys and girls should make it their
special business to see that every
home in their communities saves the
pits of these fruits. They should also
visit communities and commercial

bakeries. In addition, seeds should be
collected from dates, olives, and shells
