Des Moines, July 15.-"The corn
crop of Iowa is not yet seriously dam
aged" said John r. Sage, head of the
department of agriculture, but in
some localities in has undoubtedly
suffered some harm, especially where
the fertilization, or tasseling, has be-
gun. Sixty per cent of the Iowa corn
crop is planted on prime land and is
well cultivated, and will not be much
injured ii rain comes soon. Forty per
cent is on poorer land, not SO well Gull
tivated, and this brings the average
down, though the corn that is little
backward and has not reached the tas
selling stage is in luck this year. Oats
would be light crop at the best, as
early conditions We're not favorable
and to those we must add the injury of
the past few days, which in some To-
calities has been very heavy The
acreage of spring wheat is nearly a
third below last year, but it has not
suffered much harm, THE conditions
were unfavorable for planting early in
the spring, hence the falling off"
The best estimates obtainable, from
information in the department OF agri-
| culture, show the acreage of corn to
be 1857, 4S0. The yield Will not ne
more than 10 per cent below the aver

erage for ten yearsfis 1922 bushels per

"CAMP HENDERSON"
General Byers So Designates This
Years Camping Place.
QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE FlFTItTH
Captain Emery Submits His Report to
Adjutant GeneraI-Shows Regiment
to Be in Good Condition-Company
&c" Stands at Top.

When Company &c" goes to Du-
buque for it's annual encampment, the
boys will leave instructions to their
best girls to address their mail to
Camp d. B. Henderson" This is the
official name for the camp of the For
ty-ninth and Fiftieth regiments, as
designated by Adjutant General By
ers. General Byers mas also designat-
ed the name for the Fifty-first and
Fifty-second camps at Council Bluffs
as Camp G. M. dodge" Speaker Hen
derson, one of the most prominent
men OF Iowa, is resident of Dubuque,
and General Dodge is citizen of
Council Bluffs, and will. as it were, be
god-fathers to their regiments encamp-
ing in the two cities. These names
were decided upon after mature DELHI
GRAFTON by General Byers yesterday
evening. He believes the Forty-ninth
and Fiftieth should be proud to be
named after David B. Henderson, and
the Fifty-first and Fifty-second should
be equally proud to be named after
General Dodge.
Are Well Pleased.
The members of Company &c" are
well pleased at the selection of the
name for their camp. General Hen
'derson has long been one of Iowas
most prominent citizens and the boys
in blue are pleased that his name
should be honored in such fitting
manner. The selection of these names
probably definitely fixes the places for
holding the encampmerts this year.
The long looked for order from the adj
jutant generals Office designating the
places of camp has not yet made its
appearance, and military men are all
at sea as to what arrangement to
make. 4 - ~ ~
Place Is Settled.
In military circles. however, it is be.
lieved General Byers would not desig-
nate the names of his camps unless it
was settled beyond doubt that Du-
buque and Council Bluffs would get
the camps.
The Quarterly Report.
Captain D. A. Emery, adiutant of the
Fiftieth regiment l. N G. has forward
ed his quarterly report to tn eadju-
tant generals Office. This report was
due July 1, but two or there of the
company commanders failed to get
their reports to Captain Emery on
time, therefore he was necessarily late
in sending 1t to headquarters.
The report finds the Fiftieth regi-
ment in good condition, although many
changes are noted since the last re
port. Of its enlisted men the regi-
ment shows gain of "a as compar.
ed with the last regular report. In the
commissioned officers on the staff, 1t
shows loss of two, Chaplain A. V.
kendrick and Signal Officer, W. L.
Lane, both resigned. These places
have not been filed although Colonel
Caughlan has made a recommendation
for signal officer. The regiment will
probably be without chaplain during
camp, although some one may be ten
dered an invitation to attend camp
with the boys.
The Showing.
The report is as follows, giving the
strength of the regiment:
