raigned before United States Commits

having knowledge of the shortage in
the Marshailtown postofice, which

Concerning the matter Kruskopf
says: IF took that money l have

there is a possibility that ! mi ght have
taken it when under the influence OF

however, and that is never commit

CLIMATE AND CROP SERVICE.
Crop Bulletin for Week Ending Au.
gust 10.

Des Moines, Aug 21.-(SpeciaD-
The past week was warmer than us
ual, the average daily excess in tenn
perature ranging from to degrees.
The nights were cool, however, with
considerable benefit from dews. Elk.
cept in portion OF the northwest dis,
tricts the rainfall was very light and
drouthy conditions are still prevalent
in four-fifths of the state.
All immature crops need rain, es-
pecially late corn, potatoes and grass.
The pastures are so scant that stock
is being fed, more or less, in all sec
lions of the state. Material improve
ment in the general condition and
prospects of the corn crop has been
noted in nearly all districts. Both ear,
ly and late corn are now more promis-
ing in extensive areas than was deem.
ed possible on the first of the month.
But the future yield Of sound corn is
continuing on favorable weather con
ditions throughout the larger part OF
September. Copius rains are needed
very soon for filling out the abundant
ears developed in late planted corn
fields. With normal rainfall the yield
of late potatoes will be much better
than expected. A fair start has been
made in fall blowing, but generally
the soil is too dry and hard.
