Thoroughbred Market Strong.
All records for the sale of thorough
bred blood stock in this country were
shattered at the dispersal sale of the
stations and brood mares of the late
August Belmont. Three stations,
headed by Fair Play which brought
100000 and 65 mares were sold for
s7S2.200, or an average of s11. 500.
Counting the yearhngs and horses in
training sold separately. the Belmont
horses had a gross market value of
S1.225 900.
These striking figures We're eclipsed
at Newmarket, Engla nd, in July. when
the thoroughbred holdings of the late
Sir Edward Hutton commanded a
grand total of 81 1895, a new world s
record.
In this connection another outstand-
ing sale must be recalled. James Cox
Brady, a newcsaner in racing, paid
S50.506 for a yearling f1lly by Man o.
War-Tusean Red. which not alone es-
tablished worlds record for a
yearling flly but emphasized once
more the place which Man o. War has
made for himself in the breeding in
dustry.
Last but not least, the amazing
strength of the thoroughbred breeding
industry. which is the backbone of
racing in this country as well as a
great economic influence in the Nation,
was definitely established at Saratoga
Springs last August, when 40 year.

by son of Gene Turner, and a rat
tletrap speedster, containing E. R.
McKeag, L. L. White and Dan Furge-
son, students of Ames College, Ames,
Iowa, figured in a head on collision
at the Hotel Livingston corner last
Saturday morning. The Jewett was
headed for the High School fair and
the Ames car was going to Madison
where the boys were to witness the
mes-Wisconsin football game. The
Turner boy failed to observe the driv-
ing laws and cut inside of the "dum-
my" in time to catch the speedster
head-on and lift it over into tel

One of the students had a tooth brok-

injuries. The Jewett was slightly dam

CrescO Farmer Develops
Popcorn at So a Pound

PRA. DU CHIEN-PIant wizards
are not all confined to California nor
other remote sections of our country,
nor does one need to go outside of
this section to find one.
Although Warren B. Perry has not
yet gained as nationwide a reputa-
ton as some others in the develop
ing of new varieties of vegetation he
has done wonders on his little forty
acre truck farm located about a mile
south of Cresco.
He has lived there for the past Sc
years and for the past twenty years
has developed three varieties of squaw
corn and a golden bantam rice pop
corn.
In 1923 he crossed golden bantam
sweet corn with rice popcorn and
after selecting the most perfect seed
year after year he now has a popcorn
which has the color and flavor of gold
en- bantam sweet corn with the size
and shape of rice popcorn, and when
1t pops it is soft and f1aky. This re-
tails at $500 per pound. One Iowa
firm bought 100 pounds, for which
they paid 5000, and Mr.. Perry realized
$4,000 from ten acres that year.
One of his varieties of sweet corn,
Alpha is the very earliest on the
market and seed company paid $40
for half bushel of this seed and
published it in their catalog.
Mrs. Perry has also developed a
new variety of potatoes and $50 diff
ferent varieties of beans of which
Bostonians should sit up and take no
tice.-Courier.

The beautiful country home of Mr..

east of Fennimore, on Highway 10,
attracts attention of the passing mo-
torist and was given merited publicity
by the Wisconsin State Journal last
week in a picture of the place and
column article on the farming activi-
ties of Mr.. Brandt. He started to
build this farmstead five years ago for
beauty, efficiency and good landscap-
ing. The buildings are modern, in
side and out, and he breeds Guernsey
cattle, Poland China hogs and White
Leghorn chickens. He put 16 loads
of soybeans in his barn from field
of five acres. In two cuttings of al
falfa on a field of six acres he put 81
big loads inside his barn. Seven ac-
res of corn more than filled 14x40
