A BIG WELD.
Corn Crop This Season Heavy in Wa
peIIo County.

The corn crop in Wapello county
this season will be the largest Tor
years. despite the heavy rains, it has
been learned after an investigation in
to the condition of the crops OF this
staple product.
A representative of the Courier has
taken some pains to ascertain what
the corn crop in Wapello county will
be from the present outlook The facts
have been obtained by personal OBJ
servations and through careful in
inquiry among the farmers from differ
ent townships.
The corn on the uplands is generally
safe from the frost and the yield is
greater than for many years. the rains
having been especially beneficial to the
corn planted on the ridge lands where
in the dry season little was raised.
This year, the rains have made the
ridge lands almost as productive as
the more fertile lands, and the crop
has matured faster in the bottom re-
gions.
The yield per acre cannot well be
estimated, but it will probably aver
age fifty or sixty bushels to the acre
on the lands referred to. There are

be as high as fifty-five or sixty bushels
to the acre all over the country
Corr in the bottom lands where it
was planted early has matured suffi-
GENTLY to place it out of danger from
frost. The light frosts on the twelfth
and thirteenth of the month have
facilitated the ripening process. The
yield on such lands will be great. There
are a few fields planted late that are
already damaged by frost and the fod-
der will be short in such localities.
On the whole, however, there will
be turned out larger crop of corn
in this county than for many years
Early planting, as was urged by the
Courier during the very favorable
period in April has resulted well.
Corn and hay are the staple products
from Wapello county lands and the
yields of each have been all that could
have reasonably been anticipated This
means plenty of feed for hogs and cat
tie and it is from these that the farmer
reaps his profit.

Although Ottumwa has no represen-
tative at the convention of the en-
ployer and employee which is being
held at Minneapolis this week, the
working people of the city are never
theless deeply interested in the sub
iects being discussed and are looking
forward to permanent national or
ganiZation of employer and employe
with branches in every state and city,
for the purpose of arbitrating indus
trial differences, through the policy of
conciliatory methods. There is wide
range for discussion at the convention
as to the difference between employer
and employe and many of the repre-
sentatives of the largest manufacture
ing institutions in the country, togeth-
ler with prominent representatives of
labor organizations are present. The
result can be nothing else but closer
relations, coupled with fair dealing be.
tween these two factions.

A WorkInemen's College.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Since the abandonment Of the city hall
as an office building for the municipal adj
1ninistration it has been suggested by
many persons that part Of the building
should be used for city Jail. TO this
proposition there are a number Of serious
objections. To mention only two: First,
it will handicap the success Of the public
baths now made possible by the gener-
osity of Mr. Akeley. It is doubtful wheth-
er men would go to a building (for the
sake Of bath) in which a jail was sit
uated. Second, the position Of the build
ing is too public for Jail. This point
needs no emphasis.
I would suggest that the portion of the
city hall not used for public baths be de-
voted to a workingmen's college, In which
should; be, given courses Of economics, his
tory, political science and sociology. These
courses, If such plan is feasible, would
be given in the evening from $3.50 to $3.50.
There is a great demand on the part OF
the people for education along these lines
To make such a college possible it will be
necessary for some one of the many veal
thy, men Of this city to give a sum OF
money that could be used to meet the ex-
penses of the college. If endowed, and the
amount would not be large, the college
could continue its work for years, exert
Ing wonderful influence upon the com
munity. The building is there, all that is
needed Is the money.

Chicago, Sept 15.-Shortage of engines

shippers Of grain. Elevators in the coun-

the United States are filled with wheat

extra trains necessary to move the grain

There are no complaints of a scarcity of
