Seed price hike and seed import origins in Iowa crops
Last spring Council Bluffs dealers disposed of 57 car loads of sweet clover seed to meet demand. Severe last fall weather slowed threshing, prompting a predicted price rise of four dollars per hundred next spring. Seed will arrive mainly from North and South Dakota, with some from Canada. Sweet clover thrives along Missouri river hills near western Iowa, especially around Sioux City, a key honey supplier. Also noted is the death of United States Senator William B. McKinley of Illinois who held stock in the Illinois Traction Company. His early life included courtship of a Grinnell worker, a Montezuma license, and a 1912 Montezuma electric plant purchase to connect Montezuma and Oskaloosa, a line now serving many southeastern Iowa towns.
