IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
Des Moines. Man %, 1aOO.

Des MONIES, May % 1900.
The past week was cooler than
usual with a great Excess of cloudi-
ness in all parts of the state. There
was a prevalence of cool northeast
wind, with more or less rainfall in
the larger part of the state every day
of the week except Sunday. The
amount of rainfall was light In the
northwest district and in the western
counties of the west central district.
The balance of the state was copious-
ly watered, the amounts reported
ranging from 0.7O to $50 inches. Ex-
cept in a few localities the rain fell
moderately, the bulk of the moisture
being absorbed by the soil and very
beneficial to grass, small grain crops,
potatoes and vegetation generally.
In the larger part of the state field
work has been much retarded or en-
tirely suspended during the week;
and in nearly all districts there is a
portion of the corn acreage yet to be
planted. Early planted corn has
terminated fairly well, making about
an average stand. About the usual
amount of replanting will be done,
as the result of damage by cut worms,
defective seed, and excessive moist
ure in ~undrained fields.
On the whole the weather condi-
lions have been favorable for staple
farm crops, gardens and orchards.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEN.
TON.

To the Republican Electors Of the State
of Iowa:
There will be a delegate convention
Of the republicans of Iowa held in the
city of Des Moines on Wednesday,
August 1, 1900, at II O'Clock am, for
the purpose of placing in nomination
a candidate for each of the following
offices:
Secretary of State,
Auditor of State,
Treasurer of State,
Attorney General,
Judge of the Supreme Court,
Railroad Commissioner,
Two Electors at Large,
One Elector for each Congressional
District, and for the transaction of
such other business as may properly
come before said convention.
The basis of representation in said
Convention will be as follows: One
vote for each county and one additional
vote for each 200 votes or fraction of 100
or over, cast for Leslie M. Shaw for
Governor at the general election held
November 7, 1899. The representation

Our county candidates are noticing
their political fences and looking
after the rails that may be lying on
the ground or the loose wires on the
fence.
Tracy Riggs is very busy engaged
at epresent looking after the bridges
of this part of the county. He is in
terested in seeing the candidates for
Office conveyed safely overthe public
highway.
The late rain was welcomely re-
ceived. There never was a much
finer appearance for an abundant
crop of hay, fruit, oats, barley, etc.
Barley is becoming a much more
favorite crop with the farmers than
it used to be.
After q few days of road working
the order of the day will be corn cul-
tivating. 1t will be a pleasant and
comfortable looking sight to see the
farmer seated on his riding cultivator
with perhaps, most of them at least,
covered, protected from the hot rays
of the sun. How different from walk
ing all day over the Uneven ground
and working the arms so constantly
that when night came the farmer was
almost exhausted, and felt like wish
ing he had never been a farmer. How
different from so years ago when
many of US were boys, who well re-
member instead of getting on a plant
err to ride and plant our corn many
times easier and faster, we had to
shoulder the hoe and make for the
field and cover our corn by a slow
and laborious process. Also when
cultivating we had to follow one horse
drawn by the single shovel, etc.
Those days are gone and well may
the young American of to-day be
thankful he was born too late to see
and live in this age.
