Pie Squash Weighs lis Pounds

Boone, Iowa-It has been demon
strated to a certainty that Boone
county soil can raise huge pie
squash as we'll as the golden grain of
corn.
Corn may be king in this county
but the squash we have reference
to is one that's on exhibition down
at the city hall. The big fellow is
surely a Inc squash for it weighs
lis pounds, has a girth measure
ment of 51z feet. This fine squash
was raised by Rudolph Pestotnick
in their home garden about two
miles west of the courthouse. A
full brother, just a wee bit smaller,
was donated to the pioneer Office.
Rudolph Pestotnick is a brother
of William, who raised the cham
pion acre of corn in Boone county
six years ago, and by so doing was
awarded a free trip to the exhibit
ton at San Francisco.

IOWA LEADS IN CHICKENS
Farms of State Have Z Per Cent Of
Fowls of the Nation.

Iowa leads in the number OF
chickens on farms, according to fig-
ures just issued by the United
States bureau of the census, with
Illinois close second.
The state reporting the largest
number of chickens on hand during
the past year were: Iowa, 27,746,510;
Illinois, 25,12o,643; Missouri, 24,ss3,-
'9s5; Ohio, 2O,232,6S7; and Texas,
1s,O62,662.
On Jan. l, 1920, the total number
of chickens on farms in the United
States was $685. 1856, as compared
with 2S0,340,959 on April Is, 1910.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
change in the date of enumeration
from April Is 10 Jan. is response
bic for part of the apparent in
crease, and the 10Th day of April
many chickens are slaughtered or
marketed.
The above figures show that Iowa
has approximately Z per cent of the
whole number of chickens in the
nation.
Estimates of the totals of chickens
raised and chickens eggs produced
for the United States give the total
eggs produced in 1919 as 1,656,267,-
200 dozens as compared with 1874
979,416 dozens in 1909; and the total
number of chickens raised in 1919 as
473,923, 1876, as compared with $780,
605,709 in 1909. Iowas total of
chicken eggs produced in 1919 is
estimated at approximately 145,000,-
900 dozens by farm experts.
This is the first time that the Gen.
sus bureau had included these figures
on chickens and eggs in reports COW
ering the agricultural states.

They knew of an inviting lake
bordered with trees and just the
place for a swim on that hot August
afternoon.
Disrobing under a big elm tree
they deposited the clothing upon the
grass and plunged in. After fro

Iowa vigor and ozone they thought
it time to hasten back for the even

But--horrorsi Approaching the
spot where they had carefully laid
about a hundred angry bumblebees
buzzing about. With trousers and
shoes and stockings and lingerie, etc.
closing the entrance to their nest the
bumblebees were red with anger.
The newly weds beat none toe

safety for the time at least was Of

The afternoon sun was slowly sink

visitors. The groom felt he was JUS

bride agreed it was too risky TO

what were they to do? They didn'

Hears From Relatives in Germany

Hears From Relatives in Germany
If you find money hard to get and
are down in the mouth over the hard
times and think your lot just about
the limit, just cheer up and read the
price the German people are paying
for their part in the great war.
County Auditor Boedecker recent
ly received letter from a relative in
Germany, in which the writer gives
some of the prices the people over
there are compelled to pay and also
some of the wages received.
A hired man gets 1000 marks per
year and hired girl gets 1900. A
factory hand receives % marks per
day and the writer of the letter, who
had been wounded in battle lost his
left leg just below the hip and also
received wounds in the other leg, re-
ceives Is marks per day.
On the other hand, suit of cloth
es costs, 800 marks, 400 for a
hat, so for shirt, 80 for pair of
socks and 25 for a cap. A horse
formerly costing 1000 marks now
sells at 10000, and COW that cost
$50 marks now costs 10000. A hog
is now worth 5000. The value of
mark before the war was about &c
cents in our money; today it is worth
only about l three-fourths cents
