The Iowa Corn Crop.

Up 10 the hour of writing(Sept ~
the immense Iowa corn crop is safe.
But everything is trembling in doubt.
A large portion of the crop is late,
and early frost will be fatal. If it
should keep off till the first Of Octo-
ber the prosperity Of the State for
another year is assured. The crop
for 1873 was about 12o,0oO,0OO bu.
shells. This year there is at least
fifteen per cent. additional area
planted, which, with the same yield
per acre, would give us l3s, ,0OO, 900
bushels this year. This to Iowa
woald be worth at least $4,000, 900.
The ripening Of this crop will give
us plenty, prosperity, progress and
solveney. Il will give an abundance
Of cheap food for man and beast. 1t
will give business and prosperity to
the railroad interests. It will give
employment and good wages 10 la
borers and mechanics. 1t will say to
the farmer that he can enjoy not on
ly the necessaries, but some OF the
luxuries of life. It will say to the
merchant that he can lay in smple
supplies OF Il better class of goods.
1t will enable the debtor to look up
with hope. 1t will send life and
prosperity through all branches Of
industry.
But if a blighting frost should come
SO as to make the corn q half a crop
Of poor quality, it will make the
poor poorer, discomfort and disaster
would prevail in every neighborhood,
causing insolvency and bankruptcy.
With this certain result depending on
the issue of the next twenty days, how
much anxiety hangs upon the mind
of every man in the State who com
prehends the situation! It may be the
calamity will be upon US before this
reaches the readers Of the Register.
lit does not, half the danger now
pending will be past.
There are but few farmers who
have beenin Iowa for twenty years,
but recollect the killing, frosts Of
Sept. %, 1859, and Aug. Goth, 1863.
1t is not comfortable to think of those
periods, when the hopes and pros
poets of SO many struggling men
on the frontier went down in dark
ness and disaster. Feeling is now
buoyant, but blighting frost would
not only retard but entirely arrest
the progress Of the country. Ii this
season had not been one of sudden
changes and meteorological extremes.
we would not, probably, dwell upon
the subject with such fearful fore
bodings. Let US look with hope to
the full and complete development
Of our crops. Should our corn ripen,
no State in the Uniol, and no coun-
try on earth, would be more indie
pendent, prosperous, spd happy
STATE Reotster,
