Iowa Trees and Fields Unchanged ' ture'g Landmarks Are the Same After Thirty Years Scenes of Childhood. Lone Tree, Iowa, Oct. 15, Editoi ;ecord. Have been so busy visiting .1 friends and relatives among the i eaes of my childhood have ne .acted the letter that possibly maj .iilerest some of your readers. Iowa had a fine rain that came i ong with us September 26. Since that the weather could not be lm proved on in any clime it seems t we. I couldn't be better pleased i I had ordered It myself. Sunny an .ear and not hot and not cold. H would be hard to improve on ar Iowa autumn. I have ever said whei. contemplating a visit here that 1 ted to come in the autumn a hen the sunshine of Indian sum u- turns the leaves from green tc i and crimson," and the sun sett ,varen'tly in the Iowa river) radl ing all the tints of the rainbow. There are "no flies on old Iowa' i other words, no drouth or cror i i ne, plenty of wheat, oa s, clover, '. y, corn, both yellow and white po 0-33 (sweet or otherwise) squashes :VIns, vegetables of great vari i id fruits tho' I insist Orego. i it for fruit especially for ap 3 I. a-e, too, are nuts in plenty, es .' y hickory, wain u l and haze! i which are native here, although v.e this year.

Of we four onl; immy was left togreet me, whicl 'lis little family did very cordiall; it their home on the old. Magruc er homestead, where I took suppe with them and amused myself awhli ithering up hickory nuts. I spent Monday, October 12, o overal hours of 1L, wandering ove he AicComas homestead the ol 'Dine, where my brother Will firs saw the light also the adjoininr homestead of "Uncle Billle" Kelsc have as a child I spent so man: ipy hours. The day was ideal. A 'jiiter Esther and Mr. Pursel wer ione to Iowa City, and I was dis posed to ramble there alone slnc it would be a sad pleasure anywa oak a lunch and skipped off, Jumt old Otter creek, near old Kels ri ig and bridge; the old hickor; .vhere Jennie and I used i6 put ou girlish love letters to each other wa a.1 gone, bu.1. the stump of the othe hickory near was there, the old eln hat marked the corner between u: v d Kelso was there; against It i!

I found the site of the old home very easily, in fact found one of the rafters; there are seven, cot Ltmwoods and one old elm still sur rounding the home spot, and the woods are not much changed thanks to our old neighbor, Caleb Sweet who happened to have an eye foi the beaj iful. One old- footlog stir has the print of my father's or broth er's ax. I ate my lunch . under the o.ie old apple tree that yet remains. While wandering about the yard 1 stopped short In astonishment and said aloud, "Well, wouldn't that knock you off the Xmas tree?" foi there growing in the corner of the yard and on each side of She old garden path was asparagus, where my mother put the roots years ago Strange world, where the works o: our friends hands remain years af .er .hey are gone. I found the samt. old Wahoo bush at the corner be iween oir home and Caleb Sweet's; skipped around the tlmbere pola. but being fenced away from the oli Sweet spring, went in by the front ate, where I greeted Caleb at.ei these many years with, "Well, 1 won't come to sea you for 30 years more if you fence me out like this."

MEW VARIETY OF WHEAT IS PRONOUNCED SUCCES The News Record published a short :ime ago a description of the new hybrid wheat that has been giver careful tests the last four years at the Washington state experiment sta .Ion, together with the experiences of a number of farmers who had tested the new wheat. From all re ports the new grain Is at least 1C per cent better than the old varie i.le3, and it would pay some Wallowr county farmers to send to the exper iment station for seed. Here Is tht latest dispatch regarding It: State College, Pullman, Oct. 15. t An increase of $1,800,000 in the value 'e?.11oilesAoto-Padm Pdilils 1 T f I of the wheat production of the state of Washington, annually, will in all probability result from a successful experiment in the hybridization of wheat which has Just been concluded by the cereal experts of the state college experiment station. Locally this is considered to be one of the greatest experiments that has aver beau successfully conducted by .he station staff. It has been font years since Prof. C. W. Lawrence, station cerealist, and Prof. George Severance, now acting head of the agricultural department of the col lege, took charge of the detail work of propogating, perfecting, and test ing the new wheats. Last year it was fairly certain that the investiga tors had been successful, but consid erable caution was exercised In the matter of making known what had been done, the preference being to wait for the results of another year of trial, before definitely announcing the success of the hybrids. Seed of the hybrid wheats was sent to farmers in different parts of the state, the final reports from which have been received by Professors Severance and Lawrence during the past few days. The testimony which is offered by the farmers who have grown and harvested hybrid wheats show beyond question that the new ly created varieties of wheat can be depended upon to yield at least ten per cent better and In many cases 25 per cent better than the standard varieties. Washington raises annually about 30,000,000 bushels of wheat. The in troduction of the new hybrids In the wheat-growing localities, and increasi of ten per cent at 60c per bushel means $1,800,000 to the wheat rais ars of the state. First Car of Lumber. E. A.
