Fire destroys two barns at Iowa State College Ames
A noon Friday fire at the Iowa State College in Ames consumed the old hay barn behind the experiment station barn and the station barn itself. No insurance covered the loss estimated at ten to thirteen thousand dollars. Remaining livestock and most equipment were saved. The government funding for maintenance is insufficient to cover rebuilding. Training courses for dairy workers are announced starting January 1902 with limited admission and varied fees.
