W.P. ADAMS DIES; HAD BIGGEST FARM
Odebolt, Ia., March 24 (AP)—W.P. Adams, 74, owner of the largest farm in Iowa—a 6,400 acre ranch extending southwest from the outskirts of Odebolt, died Wednesday night in Miami Beach, Fla.
Mr. Adams had crowded big scale farming, a business career and banking into his life. His hobby was navigation and he was one of the survivors of the ill-fated Vestris, which went down three hundred miles off the Virginia capes in November, 1928.
In 1933 Mr. Adams attracted attention when he sealed more than 300 thousand bushes of corn under the AAA plan, getting a loan of $135,594 from the federal government. That was believed the largest corn sealing loan made in the country.
He is survived by his widow and two sons, Robert B. Adams, Miami Beach, and John Quincy Adams, Winnetka, Ill. The body will be returned to Odebolt for burial.
