Crop Bulletin For Iowa.

DEs MONIES, June 1.-THE last week
was warmer than usual, the average
daily normal temperature ranging from
to degrees above the normal. The
humidity of the air was excessive and
frequent showers added to the large
surplus of rainfall of the preceding two
weeks. In all parts of the state the
amount of moisture is excessive. These
conditions have not been favorable for
small grain crops, which are likely to
become too rank on all rich and moist
lands. Some progress has been made
in planting corn in the southern Sec
ton where the work had been pre-
viously delayed, but there is consid-
cradle area yet to be planted if ths
weather conditions in the near future
are more favorable. The acreage in
that section is likely to be materially
reduced

Condition of Nebraska Crops,

LINCOLN. June 7.-Taken as whole
this has been q good growing week in
most parts of the state. The lack Of
rain in some of the southwestern coun.
ties has been rather unfavorable, but
as yet no damage has resulted. Rye is
headed out and without exception is
reported a thin stand, with prospect of
a poor crop. Winter wheat is headed
in southern counties. Oats and spring
wheat are weedy and in few instances
the weediest fields have been listed to
corn. Corn has grown we'll in all parts
of the state. In northeastern counties
considerable replanting is being done,
but elsewhere the stand is much above
the average and thus far little COM
plant has been made of damage by cut
worms.

Counsels Patience and Submission as tho
Shortest Route to Freedom.
HAVANA, June General Maxine
Gomez, the former commander in chief
OF the Cuban army, issued his farewell
manifesto yesterday. In substance it
says:
"The mission I have been entrusted
with is nearly concluded. I have at
tempted to find solution of questions
concerning the army (Which I COM
manded during the bloodiest war known
in America. l am now leaving regret
fully to attend to private business. A
parting word to the people for whom I
have sacrificed 30 years of my life and
to my friends in the army just dis
banded, which action should have been
taken instantly after the removal Of the
bloody weight of Spain's merciless
regime. We wanted and depended
upon foreign intervention to terminate
the war. This occurred at the most
terrible moment of our contest and re-
suited in Spain's defeat. But none Of
US thought this extraordinary event
would be followed by military occupa-
ton of the country by our allies, who
rate US as people incapable of acting
for ourselves and who have reduced us
tutelage imposed by force of circum-
stances.
This cannot be our ultimate end after
the years Of struggle. and we should aid
by every pacific method in finishing the
work OF organizing, which the Amer
leans accepted in the protocol, and
which is as disagreeable for them as for
ourselves. This aid will prove useless
without concord among all the island
ers. Therefore, it is necessary to for
get past disagreements to completely
unite all elements and to organize po-
litical party which is needed in any
country.
We must make useless by our be.
havior the presence of strange power
in the island and must assist the Amer
leans to complete the honorable mission
they have been compelled to assume by
force of circumstances.
l, as one of the first Cubans, although
one of our last old soldiers, and not far
from the grave, without passions or am
bitions, call on you with the sincerity Of
father and urge cessation of the
superf1uous discussions and the creation
of parties of all kinds which disturb the
country and tend to cause anarchy.
My mission having ended, will alb.
sent myself temporarily to embrace nv
family, but I will return shortly to
Cuba, which love as much as my own
land.
