at Allison, and the Dairy Cattle Con-
gress held In This city.

average for each fair OF S573.5T.
Idaho Wisconsin. Illinois, Oregon, Ohio
New York, Minnesota, Montana and

the association as states in which fah

while the the other state appropria-
tlons range from 100000 to 100000. y
The schedule for state aid as com

Should Raise More Strawberries.

Iowa can consume several times the
amount of strawberries that she pro-
duceS according to the statement o!
c. V. Holsinger, agricultural extension
truck crops and small fruit specialist
of Iowa state College. Mr.. Holsinger
is at the head of a movement for more
extensive culture of this berry in Iowa.
During the last two years, the ma
ton has been compelled to grow the
kind Of food that sticks 10 the ribs, AID
to let the delica cies go, but now that
the food situation is relieved. the ag
riCultural extension department feels
that they are warranted to urge the
planting Of this universally favored
fruit for home consumption as well as
for commercial purposes.
The strawberry is beyond the expert
mental stage. 1t is claimed that any
farm that will produce corn will grow
strawberries also. Senator Dunlap.
Warfield, Beederwood. and many other
varieties can be successfully grown in
every county of Iowa. While other
small fruits need two or three years 10
come into full bearing. the strawberry
will bear it's maximum crop the first
year after planting.
At a meeting Of the midwest horti
cultural society held in Des Moines. 4
committee of ten men covering the
middle west. of which Mr. Hoisinger is
representative for this section. was ap-
pointed to boost this campaign. Pro-
duction is not being urged on a COM
mefcial basis. except where there are
unusually good shipping facilities. The
main object Of the campaign is to have
a berry patch in every garden, so that
the fruit can be enjoyed by more peo-
pie than heretofore.
On account of the high prices OF
strawberries that have prevailed, the
per capita consumption has beer
small" says Mr.. Holsinger I'm other
words, people cannot afford to pay the
price that is asked for berries which
have to be shipped from the south
A small patch Of berries will furnish
fruit for the family during the whole
sea son.
Strawberries are easy to grow. and
being practically a biennial crop, dis
eases and pests are kept at minimum
by rotation with other garden crops.

A Valuable Load From Farm.

Brade Davis. tenant on the Dee Fry
farm. north of Knoxville, dares any
one to dispute the assertion that he
brought the most valuable load OF
farm products" last Saturday that
was ever hauled on one wagon to the
Knoxville market.
That extra valuable load (you see
we are helping back" Brade and Dee
on their claims), consisted of sixty
bushels and a fraction Of extra fine
bright clover seed that sold readily at
$50 per bushel or for total OF
sl,2l5.sS.
The real old part of the story is
noted in the fact that the seeds were
hulled from first crop clover. Usually
it is said that the second or fall crop
is the one that yields the seeds.
The clover field from which this
valuable load was threshed Is one OF
exactly thirty acres. And the hay Is
still splendid food for stock.
But who wants to deny Brades
claim OF bringing in tac most val
liable single load?
