are being detained at the county jail
at Allison, after a night of intox.
icating bliss. They were arrested by
City Marshal ]. H. Richardson and
it is possible that serious charges
may be preferred against them.
1t is said that while in an intoxi-
Gated condition the two men hitched
a Shetland pony to a heavy wagon
and started to drive to Waverly.
When the animal became exhausted
within few miles of GAINESVILLE and
was unable to go farther, they beat
it numerically and then cut its
throat.
After this act the two went to the
home of Joslin's sister, Mrs. Carl
Dearth, where Joslin attempted to
beat his sister. Buchanan joined in
the row and a general rough house
followed.

There are six children. He went in

married again. Judge Milo p. Smith
told him that if he could get good

By this marriage Bider becomes the

Iowa's surplus to feed the starving
in the near east. We understand
that arrangements have been made
with all the elevators in the county
to take in grain for this purpose.
The Boy Scouts of Iowa expect to
go out and assist in gathering this
grain. If you have a few sacks of
corn that you could spare, TO save
some starving child's life, take it to
your local elevator where credit will
be given for it.

1246 lbs. and 5S.7 lbs. butterfat.
Dallas county is second with so lbs.
butterfat; Fayette is lowest with
only 1871 lbs. The high COW in the
state was from the Dubuque Associ-
alton with 72.4 lbs. of butterfat; the
second, Dallas county with 70.6, both
of these cows are purebred Hol-
stems, in fact, the high cow in each
of the associations is one of the
dairy breeds. If we are going to
milk cows and we all do, why not
endeavor to build up herd of high
producers by the use of purebred
dairy sires. "You pay for a purebred
sire whether you use one or not"
Why not have the use of one, as
you will pay for it directly or in

FARM BUREAU NEWS
Finals on Corn Yield Contest


The final results of the yields OF
corn variety contest which was put
on in Pleasant township have been
figured on a basis which took into
consideration the moisture test, re-
ducing the moisture of all varieties
to a basis of 14%; the percentage
of stand, considering 3 to be per-
feet stand; and the difference in the
yield of the check corn was also
taken into consideration. Fifteen
different varieties of corn were plant
ed on the HI. o. Akre farm side by
side, two rows of each being planted.
This corn was husled on October
26th, weighed, a sample of each
variety tested for moisture and the
stand of each variety counted SO as
to be able to determine the exact
yield when all varieties We're put
on an equal basis. The following
shows a difference in the yield be-
tween the highest and lowest pro-
ducing variety of 1876 bushel. A
study of the yield of the different
varieties ought to stimulate an int
crest in the use of better seed
throughout the county, for while
Winneshiek is primarily not grain
county, yet if we can increase the
yields on some farms by using bet
ter variety of corn it will surely be
worth while.

Story City Farmer Husks 1888 Bushels
Corn in Ten Hours.

Webster City, Iowa-What is be-
lived to establish record for Iowa
corn huskers was set at Story City
near here, recently when Noah Valde
picked and cribbed 1873 bushels of
corn in a day. The achievement took
place on his fathers farm in Rose
Grove township. He worked approx
mately ten hours, including the time
taken to unload the wagon.
The record is vouched for by Dan
iel Swanson, prominent in the Story
City community, who says he was an
eyewitness of the work. Swanson
says he drove the wagon for three of
the loads picked by Valde.
In describing the ~huslxing, Swanson
says: "The wagon box measured
forty seven inches and he filled it
four times, good, full measure. The
corn was the yellow denty variety,
a good yield, but not standing up
well, and great many ears loose
on the ground"
Young Waldo is typical American,
tall and athletic, of extraordinary
strength and endurance. He seemed
none the worse after the hard grind.
He is the same young man who, in
1916, skated across country from his
home in Rose Grove to Webster City.

WHY MEAT is HIGH
Heifer Dresses $40 Pounds From
1,270 on Hoof.

heheN DEeSScS gu rounds From
1,270 on Hoof.
Pella, Iowa-W. j. .VanWely, of
the Holland meat market in Pella
has had an unusual experience, uni
que in twenty years of the meat
business.
He recently bought three year
old Holstein heifer raised by Will
liam Maasdam, Of Pella, which
weighed on hoof 1900 pounds.
The animal dressed, $40 pounds
or 671a per cent.
Ordinarily critter VIII dress so
per cent or so; this heifer would
have had no weigh 1850 pounds on
that basis. The front quarters
dressed 1913 and 200 pounds and
the hind quarters 21O and PIP
pounds.
This is regarded as so unusual as
to establish record and Mr.. Van
Wely is anxious to know if any other
butcher in Iowa has had an exper-
ience approaching it.
~ call that Iowa Pride" said
Mr. Van Wely and would like to
know if any other butcher has an
equal record.
Some people always wonder why
they can't but meat from the mar
ket at a few cents over what the
farmer gets for the live animal. All
they have to do is to look at even the
butcher in Iowa has had an expert
ence approaching it.

STATE SLAUGHTERING PAYS
Board of Control Saving Money by
Killing Cattle.

Des Moines, Iowa-The state board
of control is making a big saving
TO the state by Strengthening the
meat required to supply the several
institutions under its jurisdiction.
Not ony is there large saving bu.
the mere fact that the board is pre-.
pared to render the state such a
service has had a wholesome effect
in reducing prices when it is desired
to purchase meats.
A few examples are cited. At
Mitchellville a COW had failed to de-
liver milk of as rich quality as de-
sired and she was fattened. The
local market offered six cents per
pound for her on foot, that being
the top of the market for a high
class animal such as this one. 1t was
determined on the part of the man
agement that here would be good
opportunity to experiment a little
and so it was decreed that the ami
mai would be converted into beef at
the institution. The COW alive
weighed LAO pounds and at the of
fered price of cents per pound was
worth $86.40. When killed the an
imal dressed 100 pounds besides
hide, tongue, liver and so on. AT that
time dressed meat was quoted to the
institution in bulk at 161s cents per
pound. That made the value of the
cow to the institution of $130.35, a
difference between the live value and
the finished product of $43.95, be-
sides the by-products.
The Board of control purchased a
car load of fat steers, twenty-six in
number, in the Omaha market, for
$1,692.50. When shipped to the state
institutions and dressed, at current
prices Of beef on contract at that
time, the meat was valued at $3.50.
That made a net saving on the one
shipment to the state of $S25, besides
the by ,products. 1t is the intention
of the board to put in a Strengthening
plant at each of the institutions. 1t
will save the state thousands of dol
lars.

No Privacy in Penitentiary

There is no chance for privacy in
these days, not even in the penitenti-
airy, according to George T. Red
dick, chairman of the state board
of parole. Chairman Reddick de-
clares that eighty prisoners were
sent to Iowa's two penal institutions
during the twenty-six working days
of October, and that the penitenti-
aries are becoming so crowded that
two men must occupy one cell.
