Rumor on Henderson move questioned by old friends
The rumor that Speaker Henderson will move to New York is denied by his longtime neighbors who expect him to return to his former home. Nearby Cedar Rapids farmers form a milk trust to raise prices by about 50 percent, while a Glenwood reader asks if Japan chestnuts advertised in eastern catalogs have been Iowa tested. Japan varieties yield smaller trees than native types, bear earlier, and produce larger nuts but with lower quality. tests in southern Iowa show poor winter hardiness and wind- driven damage, with foliage and wood not withstanding summer heat or winter freezing.
