TITLE: RECORDED FARM NAMES
Under a recent legislative act in Iowa, all farm owners who so desire may have their farm assigned
a certain name and so recorded in the books of the recorder of deeds, for a fee of one dollar.
The first to take advantage of this law was James E. LOVE, of Woodbine, who named his farm in
section 6, township 80, Range 42. It is known as the Evergreen Stock Farm. The following shows
the farm names recorded up to the present date:
