A FEW WORDS FROM lOWA. Cambridge, lowa, Aug. 16. Editor Democrat, Rensselaer, Ind. —I will write The Democrat a few words from Cambridge, lowa. The weather is very dry at present but corn is looking fine. We have three elevators in our town and they are busy taking in all kinds of grain and buying more old corn than other grains, as the old corn is now down to 50 cents per bushel and it is going to the elevators by the car loads. I never saw r so much old corn moved at this time of the year. Oats are 33 cents; wheat 80 cts; rye 55 cts; old corn 50 cts; new potatoes, 70 cts; hogs $6.40 cwt; cattle ready for the block, $3-75 to $4 per cwt. Farm hands get almost their own price, and are hard to get. Lots of people are enquiring about corn huskers now. Oats made a yield of from 23 to 67 bushels per acre, and some are kicking on their yield at that. Good horses are very high. Chuncks run from SBS to $l6O, according to quality. Lots of Illinois people are coming to lowa, and the Hawkeyes are going on west. ' Lots have drawn homes in the Rosebud reservation and are now going to their new homes, but I am well pleased with lowa and expect to stay and I want the Jasper County Democrat to read as it seems like a letter from my old friends in Indiana. I honor and respect old Indiana but I regard lowa far ahead of it for farming. The three boys have tended 105 acres of corn and they had out near 65 acres of oats and rye, 5 acres of rye, which made a good yield, 139 bushels for the 5 acres. The mercury stands at 101 in the shade, so they report over the phone to-day, Aug. 16. I will close with my best regards to the Democrat and many old friends. ALLEN LOUKS.
