case brought by the College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons, of Keokuk,
against the State Board of Medical

recognize the colleges diplomas and
issue certificates to practice in the
state to the graduates. The ground on

The last report of the Weather and
Crop Bureau says: All crops have re-
ceived great benefit from the excess of
heat and moisture. Corn planting has
been delayed by the showers, but it is
well advanced in all parts of the state.
In the early planted fields, corn is well
started, showing a fine stand; and in
some sections the work of cultivation
is begun. All reports indicate a con-
siderable increase of corn acreage. In
some sections cut and wire worms have
begun their ravages at an unusual
early date, and in a small area chinch
bugs are reported at work in the rye
fields All small grain crops are I'M
usually promising. Pastures and
meadows show vigorous growth, when
ever the plants have not been winter
killed or burned out by the drouth.
