1owAR OATS MADE

1owar, new oat. developed by l.. c.
Burnett, chief in cereal breeding at the
Iowa State college, made a very salts
factory showing in the tests conducted
by the farmers of the state this year.
From q total of 106 reports already
received by the college, Iowar oats
yielded 1871 bushels in comparison with
1926 bushel yield Of the home variet
les. These figures show an increase OF
over three and one-half bushels in fav-
or of the new variety of oats. ~
This variety was found in 1911 and
since that time it has been developed
at the college by Mr.. Burnett. For three
years small plots were grown. and in
1915 field trials We're made. On several
occasions this oat has made yields in
excess of 100 bushels.
IOwar oats are in many ways similar
to Iowa 1913 oats. They are a creamy
white in color and the straw is three
or four inches taller than the 1913 oats.
These oats are a few days later matur-
ing than the 1885. Because of the
greater growth Of straw the Iowar oats
are good on thin land, and farms where
much straw is wanted.
The tests this year comparing Iowar
with Iowa 103 oats show an increase
Of over five bushels an acre in favor of
the new oats. These figures are the re-
suits of Sc tests conducted over the
state.

Holiday Trade


1T would be interesting sto know how
much of the annual sum spent by the
people of Denison for holiday and win
ter purchases is sent out Of town. Con
sidering the thoroughness with which
the great mail order houses advertise
their offerings, and that there is always
an element that likes to go to some
bigger, place to trade, this sum, may be
rather large. -rs- aA-TsS -ssr 80

at. home it would give tremendous
start on new boom for Denison for

CITY'S. WATER SUPPLY MENACE
TO HEALTH AND COMFORT
vEGETATIONsCA CAUSES TRoUBLE

Rank vegetation in Sank Lake has
been source of annoyance to the
Sank Centre citizens for many years,
/ This has been true particularly as
it effects the city's water. supply.
Conditions at the present time are
more aggravating than usual as the
stencil makes the water absolutely
unfit for domestic use.
:" AT the regular meeting of. the city
Iphases of the water conditions were
phases fthe water conditions were
discussed. The lake is higher this
season than it has been for years and
this probably accounts for the ex-
listing condition. The difficulty will
not be eradicated, very likely, until
the entire water system of the city
has been rebuilt and modernized. To
make the water fit for domestic pur-
poses, as it should be, will cost snug
sum. A filtration plant or series
of wells might handle the situation.
This question will be brought be-
fore the citizens at meeting of the
Commercial Club Tuesday evening of
next week, and it is urged that every
business and professional man in. the
city attend this meeting and take
part in the discussion. "A

Relief OF Near
East Sufferers
Contributions for a Most
Worthy Cause Still Ac-
! ceptable and Opportunity
Yet Open.

To "The Oasis"
At the Union Thanksgiving service
at the Congregational Church, an of
fering was taken for relief of suf-
ferers in the Near East. This offer
ing amounted tc 1888.
A number present were without
money at the moment, and could not
contribute, although desirous of doing
so. To those and others so inclined
opportunity is still open to contribute
to the worthy cause. Money already
contributed is held by Mr.. Bracey
Curtis, at the First National Bank.
At the end of this week Mr.. Curtis
will forward the funds to Mr.. Cleve-
land Donge, treasurer of Near East
Relief Committee formerly Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief Committee).
This is most worthy cause and
last year our community gave $110
to these sufferers. Up to the pres
ent time there are still 250,0OO or
phans to be cared for. Also there
are 100000 homeless people as a re-
suit of Turkish atrocities. AS ma
ton America stands largely between
those unfortunates and starvation
through another winter. Another year
will bring great change for the
better, as we hope that benefits of
Deace will reach these stricken people
within that time. AS soonNas peace is
actually established in Armenia and
Syria their people will recover rapid
ly, as they are resourcefu1 and
thrifty.
In all probability the United States
will be the mandatory power for these
Near East countries. That will bring
us into peculiar relationship with
these worthy people.
Let US given then generously and
according to our means 70 relief of
the intense sufferings of these people,
who look upon we Americans as their
benefactors.
