-Des Moines Register: There are
idle men in some of the cities and
towns of Iowa this winter, but farm
ers report that it is an impossibiIity
to get farm laborers, Notwithstanding
they are willing to pay $40 to s25 per
month for men who are competent
tor farm work and willing to labor.
1t is true, too, that there is more
profit in farm labor than is made by
day labores in the towns and cities.

Louis.
The number of factories in st. JOS
eph increased from 276, to 440,
with an increased capital stock
from $1,000, 900 to s11, 100000. The
increase in wages and materials
used was large, the value of mater
ials having increased from nearly S.
0O0, 900 to over s25 900, 900.
In Kansas City manufacturing
places were increased from 1,47S to
1877, with an increase capital stock
of ST. per cent. There was an In
crease in wage earners from ~, ,6l1 to
1881. The value of products in
creased from s31 ,0OO, 900 to $50, ,O00, 900.
These statements oflincrease in the
manufacturing industries in the
towns on the Mississippi and the
Missouri ought to startle the people
of Iowa and provoke them to some
kind of action.
The Mississippi river is one point
from which freight rates are made;
the Missouri river is another point.
Iowa is therefore used as passover.
There are no intermediate rates ex-
cept those made by adding the Iowa
distance tariff to the through rate
from the east to the Mississippi.
Unless something is done in regu-
lation of these freight matters Iowa
manufacturing establishments can
not hope to increase.
There has not been reduction of
the through rates or interstate rates
from the east to Iowa points in twelve
years, not since the adoption of the
present Iowa railroad law. Only
few industries in Iowa notably the
wholesale grocery business, have
been benefited by that law. II a law
had been enacted totally prohibiting
discrimination ard totally prohibit
ing larger charge for short than
a long haul it would have been better
for Iowa and industries than the
present law seems to have been.
1t would be a help to, all Iowa in.
dustries today II the commissioners
were only required to make maximum
rates and to allow ample latitude
otherwise under such rates.
There is no reason why Iowa should
be called simply an agricultural
safe" when it is the sixth state in the
union in the production of coal, and
while it also has zinc and lead de-
posits and even iron in sufficient vol
ume to justify the work of taking
out the metal.
Iowa has advantages superior to
either Illinois or Wisconsin as man
ufacturing state, and nearly equal to
the natural mineral advantages
found in the state of Missouri.
It will be found that there is limit
to agricultural development in Iowa
and it will be learned in future years
that unless manufacturing can be en-
couraged the present great prosper
ity of the state cannot be continued.
Whether Senator Garst's bill, Sem
ate File 4, permitting the railroads to
carry coal and raw materials TO and
from manufacturing establishments
at special rates, to be approved by
the commissioners, goes far enough
to meet the present situation it would
be diff icult to tell. Certain it is that
Iowa is being lost in the shuffle so far
as manufactures are concerned by
being surrounded by states wherein
the railroads do practically as they
please in regard to rates.
Important as the question of proper
railroad taxation is admitted to be,
this question of the Iowa shop and
factory is more important still.

RAINS HELPFUL TO
FARM WORK PAST WEEK

Springfield, Sept. 2.-The early part
of the past week was cool, but the
latter part was moderately warm.
Generally fair weather prevailed dur
| ing the week. There were. however,
light showers in the northern part of
the state and moderate to heavy
rains over the southern part. The
rains in the northern part of the
state were insufficient to interfere
with farm work, while in the south
ern part, though the work was inter
rupted to some extent. the showers
were beneficial to growing crops and
have put the ground in good condi-
ton for blowing. Considerable plow-
ing and preparing of ground for seed
! ing has been done and in few local
tiles some rye has been seeded.
Thrcshing has progressed rapidly I'M
der the favorable conditions of the
past week There has been consider
able damage to oats in shock by the
previous wet weather, but in many
localities this damage was less than
| had been feared would result. There
| has also been some damage to I'M
tnreshed wheat in the central dis
trict The weather of the past week
has been very favorable for corn and
it has generally advanced rapidly to-
ward maturity. The yield promises
to be heavy. In the southern district
the recent rains have improved the
prospects decidedly. especially of late
corn. Reports as to the time when
the crop will be safe from injury by
frost vary considerably. In a few
localities, especially in the southern
part of the state, early corn is now
reported to be safe. while in others
| il is believed that the crop Will not be
safe until after Oct. I. With favor
able conditions. however. the bulk of
the crop promises to be safe by Sept.
| Is to 20. Chinch bugs are reported
to be doing some damage in Il few To-
calities, but the damage is slight.
Some corn has been cut for fodder.
Broom corn harvest is progressing.
The crop is generally reported to be
good. Pastures are generally in good
condition. y generally good second
crop of clover is being cut or is ready
to cut. Potatoes are yielding well,
but they are rotting some. Gardens
are good. The apple crop has gen
orally improved. The yield will be
large in some localities. and where
the yield will be light the quality of
the fruit is generally good. Other
fruit prospects vary from poor to
good.
