The parents of these young bass were thirty-six adult bass seined from the west fork of the Des Moines river at Humboldt and placed in a prepared pond or nursery where there had 'been suitable nests arranged.

After spawning and hatching the young bass, the adults were removed and taken to conservation headquarters near Spirit Lake where it Is understood they will be kept until next year when they will be returned-to the nursery here. After the old bass were removed, every precaution possible was taken to preserve the lives and health of the young.

Except for a short period the ground was in excellent shap for fall plawlng. The dry weather was ideal for corn ripening and drying. A great majority of the corn is dry right now and some of it Is ready for the crib. Practically the entire crop IE ready for frost. It is rather unusual that we have not had a killing frost In this section to date.

There was a slight frost the morning of Sept. 16 And another Sept. 26, -both reaching only thirty-one above. The more tender -vegetation was killed but little foliage fluttered. The corn fields are turning brown more from the.

fact that the corn is ripe than for any other reason. Because of the abundant rains in August there will be a wonderful amount of roughage thia fall and winter. It will be a great benefit to all farmers who have 'stock to consume It. The month of September go far has been unusual in the fact that It lias contained such warm days.
