Iowa Corn Crop, 1901.

The crop correspondents of the
Iowa Weather and Crop Service
have made preliminary estimate
of the yield of corn for the season
expressed in bushels per acre, in
stead of percentages as during the
past month. 1t is understood, of
course, that this estimate is sub
ject to revision in the final report
ofthe season, after the crop haa
been harvested. The average for
the state appears to be about 2d
bushels per acre which would in
dictate a total output of 225, 100000
bushels, The shortage caused by
the hot winds and drouth, as CON-
pared with the yield OF last year
la over l00,000,000 bashals; and
the product this year is about S5,,
100000 bnshels below the state
average tor the past twelve sea
sons.

Other things which nobody but an edi

"Say, Mr.. Newspaper Man, wish
you would tell me whether tomorrow

1t was a preacher who was tingling
the telephone, and he ought to have
known better than the newspaper
man, but the newspaper man was wise
enough to own an almanac, and so he
was able to rush to the rescue and
save the church.
"Ting-a-ling! Ting -a-hng."
1t was a broker at the telephone
this time, and he wanted to know
whether election day was legal holi-
day or not, and so the newspaper man
with the wisdom of the world right at
his hand in the form of an almanac
was as able to swing to the doors of q
bank as easily as to open the doors of
a church.
Then the newspaper man suddenly
remembered that while so busy attend-
ing to other folks business he had for
gotten his own, and he hurried out to
place the neglected order for grocer
les. The groceryman was at the
phone, too, accommodating fair GUS
toner who wanted to ask the laundry
man whether he could get pair of
shams done up for her by tomorrow
night, as she expected company, and
he had no sooner rung off than anoth-
er asked him if one of his delivery
boys would be kind enough to leave q
note at friends house in making the
rounds delivering groceries.
So the newspaper man is not the
only one who is in it. Ring away,
then! If there is anything you want
