In July 1913 J W Jarnagin argued there is no unearned increment in Iowa farm lands during a White Way picnic speech in Pella.

Farm Family Earns 150 Dollar Land Through Labor
A Valley farmer argues that $150 land value arises from hard work by the farmer’s family over thirty years. He contends the community and not the individual generates unearned increment, urging single taxers to shift revenue from renters to landowners. He notes improvements like vines and trees are earned by those who toil the land. The piece contrasts city labor with farm labor and calls for tax reform to reflect community contributions.

Discovering Corn Meal in War Time Economy
The European war is likely to elevate corn meal as a staple, pushing corn prices in the U S higher. Domestic consumers may face higher costs for corn bread and mush, yet postwar demand could turn American cornfields into gold mines as corn remains cheaper than wheat flour. Consumers may cut living costs by using more corn meal now.
