Many farmers are beginning oat
seeding this week and it will pc
rushed to completion, as. the indi.
cations are that not much oats. Will
oats ground is already sown to
wheat Can secure good seed oats
of Iowa 1O3 in adjoining counties at
75c to $1.OO per bushel for reclean-
ed seed. Can also secure barley at
CSC to 1925 per bushel..
Many people are making gardens
this spring all ready and especially
ment of your seed potatoes for scab,
black scurf, and black leg; Do you
know that every time that you buy
a potato that you pay for three 9th
ers that have rotted either in the
ground or in storage. Treat your
seed; use this solution: Two pints
Of 40 per cent formaldehyde to 80 81
lis to 1872 degrees, dip seed in mix
ture two minutes, pile up six or
eight inches deep and cover with
sacks wet in the solution and leave
for an hour to dry Potatoes should
not be dipped longer than two min
utes, and mixture should not vary
from 118 to 1872 degrees.
If YOU are thinking of planting
any soy beans this year you had bet
ter order now as Soy beans seed is
getting Can obtain good
seed at present at &c per pound.
Don't forget to innoculate your
seed. Say! why not try few bush
lima beans for shade on. your back
porch instead of foliage plants? have
good shade and harvest crop OF
beans also.
For your early garden, try thin
seeding of radishes in your seed
onion rows. These come up first
enabling you to hoe once or twice
before YOU can see the onions. Later
pull them up when large enough to
use. Try }radishes or lettuce IN
your .parsnips and carrot rows also
for the same reasons as above. III
you have q small tract you can often
grow two or three crops this way
on same ground.

Booster Committee Of the Leon
Chamber Of Commerce took up the
question of a supply OF ice for the
citizens of Leon this summer, as no
practically none in southern Iowa.
An effort was made to contract with
the ice plant at Centerville, and a
representative visited Leon, but
would not consent to supply Leon
with ice, unless contract was sign
ed to buy ice for a period Of three
years tee mhs did not 3Sev look sa E go9a 6t6
with the Baker Ice Machine Co., OF
Omaha, Neb., and others, and a
meeting was held at the library
building last Wednesday evening, at
which after quite discussion OF the
matter, and unanimous vote IN
favor of organizing an ice company,
committee of ten men was appoint
ed to formulate plan and secure
subscriptions for stock company to
install an ice plant.
The committee lost no time, spend
ing most of Thursday in making
plans and on Friday they started in
soliciting stock, and by. Saturday
900 had been subscribed. A meeting
of the stockholders was held Mon
day evening, at which articles of in
corporation were adopted, and
board of five directors elected who
will have charge of the affairs OF
the company until the annual meet
ing in December. At meeting of
the directors held later Jas. +. Har-
vey was elected president, O.. p.
Hull secretary and Guy, L. Stark
treasurer Fred Barrett has been
employed as manager of the plant,
and the necessary machinery, a ten
ton Baker ice machine, and a SO
horse power oil burning Fairbanks
Morse engine have already been con-
tracted for, and it is expected to
have the plant in operation in about
sixty days. The building and some
of the machinery which could be
used, to advantage have been pur-
chased from J. M Caster, so it will
not be necessary to, wait until
building can be erected, and the old
ice plant is conveniently located for
loading ice for shipment.
The local men, about sixty In
number, have faith in the enterprise
and in Leon. They are, putting in
their money and every share of the
stock has been sold, and others have
asked for shares, but the sale, Of
stock was limited to $4,000, which
will provide for the equipment OF
the plant.
When a bunch of Leon boosters
get started there is something doing.

There has been a great change in
sale advertising the past few years,
parties having learned that the
proper way to advertise sale is in
the newspapers where the advertis-
ing can be read in comfort at your
home. Many persons who hold
sales every year, have reduced ~the
number of bills and cards they have
used and increased their newspaper
and in every case with
satisfactory results, and in some
cases not a single bill or, card was
printed, the sale being advertised
exclusively in the newspapers.

Has Been a Great Sale Season.

One of our farmer friends asked
us the other day how many public
sales had been held in Decatur
county since last fall. We could
not tell him, neither could we tell
him how many sales had been ad-
vertised in The Reporter during the
season, but after he left our office
we took the trouble to run over our
files and see how many sales had
been advertised in The Reporter
alone, and we were surprised at the
number, as we found that 157 sales
had been advertised in this paper
from the first Of last September to
March goth, less than seven months:
February of this year we carried
more public sale advertising than in
any single month in the thirty-two
years we have published The Re-
porter, 40 sale advertisements ap-
pearing in the four issues in that
month. Last October was the sec
ond largest month, with tota! of
~ sales, and November was close
third with "a sales.
The following is the number of
sales advertised in The Reporter
each month commencing with the
