Rockwell, .Ian. 7.—Whatever causc
for disappointment and regret the
northern Iowa farmer has had because
of reverses sustained during the past
season, he lias no words of complaint
to offer hccuuse of tho Quality of win
ter weather that has been furnished
him thus far. In some places not
enough grain was raised to winter the
horses, .cattle and hiigs nocessary to
keep .the farms stocked, leaving out ol'
the question any feeding of stock for
the market, yet in these same localities
ail classes of farm animals aro in un
usually line condition, the open win
ter having permitted them to get their
entire subsistence from cornfields and
meadows, eating what would usually in
large measure have been wasted. Sumo
farmers have not yet fed a particle of
hay or grain to their horses or milch
cows, tho both have remained In excel
lent condition, und the saving thus ef
fected is hard to overestimate. Those
living In the level portions of the state,
where for several years past there has
existed at nearly all times a surplus
of moisture, exult over the fact that
at the close of the tiling season ditches
were dug to a depth of three or four
feet in low places, and only dry dirt
was thrown out, a condition, they say,
thav has not before existed at any time
within the memory of the oldest' in
habitants. More fall plowing was done
last year than for a long time, and the
Reason was especially favorable for
those preparations for winter that are
often left unfinished because of an
early and unexpected period of stormy

^Profitable—Large 8ums Already Ex
pended.
Special to Times-Republican
Mason City, Jan. 7.—That Cerro Gor
do county Is protecting herself against
future Hoods, which retard crops and
prevent the full returns from hlgh
prlced lands, is evident by the amount
of money spent tills past season In
drainugc In all parts of the county.
Eleven drainage districts have been
laid out, seven of them completed, with
four remaining uncompleted and prob
ably a halt dozen other districts In
the county asking for the same provis
ion to guard against the ravages of
protracted rains for another season.
According to tho figures furnished
by the board of-supervisors, there has
been spent over $:'5,000 for drainage.
Of the eleven districts, the average ex
pense will be from $3,000 to $10,000
each, and with the amount of drainage
yet Incomplete, the total expense will
probably be close to $100,000.
It Is evident that to make northern
Iowa land profitable during a wet sea
son. It must be properly drained. A
good deal of the farm land of this
county Is Hat, much of it has poor
natural drainage, and such land this
year produced little or nothing In re
turn from the crops planted, while on
similar lying land adjacent to It, that
has been drained properly, good crops
crops. The county work has been
largely that of ditching to afford prop
er outlets for a system of drainage In
tlint neighborhood. Next year the
land owners and tho county will spend
much more money than this year.
