Crop Bulletin for Week Ending
MAY 5, 1902

May D, ISOZ
DIS Moines, Iowa. past
week was warmer than usual, the
daily excess OF temperature rang
lug from six to seven degrees.
The rainfall was uneqnally dlstri-
buted, the heavier amounts being
reported at stations iu the northern
and central sections; but generally
the moisture has been sufficient
to promote termination of seed
and vigorous growth of grass,
grain and garden truck. Except
where farming operations were
delayed by heavy rainfall, the
work of preparing ground and
planting corn has benin progress.
In portions of the southern sec.
ton considerable part of the
corn area has been planted, and
termination in early planted
fields has been satisfactory. The
pastures and meadows show avery
marked improvement, and the
general crop outlook is now quite
promising.
Reports received by the Secre.
tarv of the horticultural Society
indicate good prospects for apples,
plums and cherries, but the con-
dition of the small fruits is below
normal.
Farm animals are generally
healthy, and the spring pig crop
is better than the average in re-
cent years.
Lord Kelvin favors the general
adoption of the metric system.
He said before the house commit

change, and the other 10 rer cent
he characterized as stupidity

President Loubet of France made
flying visit to his mother at her farm
near Dauphney recently and found the
old lady kneading dough for the FAM
lily baking. Mother" said he, "you
.re getting too old for that work. Sit
down here and talk to me-" Then he
took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves
and undertook the ,b himself. He
vas still busy at it when messenger
arrived from Paris with some import
ant papers. The dandified Partisan
was more than astonished at the
sight, but the president finished his
kneading before attending to the
official matter.
When President Hays withdrew
federal troops from support of the

direction of affairs in that common

ton died on the twenty-Gfth anniver-
sary of the day when he thus assn med

Better Kiss and Make Up.

All OF our lady readers will remember
an item IN last weeks Enterprise con-
corning trunk filed with ladies' com
pany apparel which was dumped into
the muddy waters of the Rocky Ford
ditch en- route TO the station. There is
an imprinted sequel to the affair quite as
distressing as was the loss of fine mil
linery and the damage of Sunday gowns.
A young man, who shall be nameless,
assisted the unfortunate porter to rescue
the trunk from the rapidly flowing ditch
water. which was richly laden with those
vegetable deposits highly priced by the
agriculturist. The treacherous banks al
lowed the young man to fall into the
same mulatto-colored waves which en-
quilted the trunk. He had on his best
suit, being on his way to see his best girl.
His watery mishap made it necessary for
him to fail to keep his appointment, and
the girl has thrown him overheard. Our
sympathies go out to the young man and
we gladly tender the services Of the
Enterprise if they can in any way be
utilized to bring about reconciliation. The
unfortunate young man was engaged in a
praiseworthy work, and if his sweetheart
will but consider all the circumstances
she will again smile on him with her
accustomed sweetness.
