people at large would loose much of
the sympathy which they now have
for the laboring people. The miners
of this state have, during the past
year, made rapid advances and this
has been due to the manner in which
they have lived up to the contracts
made with the operators. To this
alone is due the harmony and pros
perity that now exists among the en-
ployers and the employed in Iowa and
should this agreement now existing
be broken, Iowa mine workers and
their organization would receive one
of the greatest set backs in the history
of the organization.
Will Be Another Method.
SIT is my honest belief" continued
Mr.. Phillips, that at the meeting Of
the United Mine Workers of America
to be held in July there will be means
devised whereby the miners of the
west can render assistance to theil
eastern brothers that will be of some
benefit to them. / believe that the
miners of this state are ready to bacl
up the eastern miners in his struggle
with every means in his power that
will be just and right, that they will
financially support the struggling
brother, but have too much faith il
the honor and manhood Of the miner!
to believe that he would disregard al
obligation taken by himself when i
would work an injustice to the othel
party and to many persons only indi
Irectly interested in the strike"

Has Checked Tendency OF Excessive
Growth in Small Grains. isii
rsThe low temperature of the past
week has proven beneficial in one re
spect jatileast to the farmers of Iowa.
J. r. Sage, director of the climate and
crop service, Iowa section, figures that
the cool weather has checked the ten
deney Of small grain to rust and to an
excessive growth of straw. In his
bulletin for. the week received at the
Courier office this morning, MI. Sage
says: j
2 THE week was unseasonably cool the
average daily temperature at the cen
trail station being twelve degrees be-
low normal On the mornings of the
i21st and 22d, the frost 1.-The was reach
ed at numerous places, but no material
damage resulted The rainfall was
variable, angling from trace to three
inches. In considerable portions OF
the state the soil was dry enough for
cultivation of corn, and fair progress
has been made in cleaning the fields.
In the dryer sections the corn crop is
about ready to be laid by in promising
condition.
The low temperature has been fae
vorable for small grain, checking the
tendency to- rust and excessive growth
of straw. For maturing and harvest
ing barley, oats and spring wheat
there. is need of dry weather and sun
shine. Glover cutting is in progress,
but conditions have not been favorable
for securing the crop. Pastures and
potatoes are doing we'll Apples are do
ing fairly well, though the crop as a
whole is considerably below the aver
age. All fruits have been measure
bly, disappointing this season, but
garden vegetables have made bulky
growth.
