THE STATE FAIR.
Few People Appreciate the Magnitude
of the Exhibition.

Des Moines, July 30.-Few people in
Iowa. even those who annually attend
the state fair fully appreciate the mag
nitude of its displays. Its twelve de-
partments, not including that of speed,
furnish am exhibition worth many
times the price of admission or other
expenses incurred in attending.
Judging from the great number of
applications for space in the different
departments, the display in all will be
by far the greatest yet shown. This
will be due largely to the liberal prem
iums offered in the different depart
ments approXimating $4,000. This is
outside of the speed department in
which $4,000 is offered in purses in the
several stakes. To those who admire a
good race, the management of this por-
ton of the state fair program can as
sure some of the best exhibitions of
speed to be seen in the west this sea-
son. Many of the best horses racing
this year have been entered for the
Iowa state fair races.
From present Indications, crops in
Iowa this year will be generally abun-
aant and of a good quality. This in

FAIR CROP CONDITIONS.

The crop reports for the week, both

owa and parts of Texas have suffered
rom too much rain there is a consider
lble area where drouth prevails to the
injury of crops. This dry streak of
country comprises the northern portion
IF the central and east gulf states, and
souri, and Indiana. Corn is suffering
from lack of moisture in southern 1lli-
noiS and southeastern Missouri. Also in
the middle Atlantic states and to the
southwark of the Ohio river, corn has
suffered much from drouth, especially
the early planted. whereas. with oppo-
early planted has Jared the best. Cen
orally, however, all over the nation
corn has had another week of eNcep-
tionally favorable conditions. In Iowa
corn on the well-tilled upland fields is
making rapid progress. There is still
ground for the belief that the crop in
the nation will be a big one.
Our Iowa report notices that much
hay and oats have been spoiled in eX-
tensive areas, but the high average
yield of oats on dry lands will partially
compensate for loss of this grain.
Farmers in Iowa have been extreme
~ busy in an effort to harvest and save
small grain and hay. All of our eN-
changes notice this and also the diff

line extending from st. Paul and Chi

More Silk Worm Experiments.

ti)lN Goods Reporter
one OF Secretary Wilson's pet hob
bies is about To be given practical dem
onstraton in the attempt To raise silk
worms in the medium ATTITUDES of the
United States AT last congress has
appropriated $4,000 To carry ON the
experiments. Which viii at least deter
mine Whether silk growing in this
country is practical. People Who are
closely connected with the silk import
ing interests appear TO be rather doubt
ful regarding the success of this vcn-
ture. Past failures are held UP and re-
gaided by some as proof positive that
silk growing in this country Will never
be profitable.
Under Secretary Wilson'S direction
these silk Worm experiments will be
farmers and the inhabitants of the viii
lagos to add silk growing to their other
sources of income. LIN China. Japan,
France and Italy much of the labor
connected With raising silk worms is
performed by women and Children who
do not devote exclusive attention to silk
raising, but take care of the worms in
connection with their other duties. In
the past there has been no question re-
garding the fitness of our climate: null
berry trees, which furnish the principal
foot for the worms thrive in the central
sections of the country.
The tending of the worms requires;
minute attention. readily given in the
European and Oriental countries. Past
failures here have arisen from the vast
of labor necessary to make silk
growing a success. 1t is certain that
American silk manufacturers are wait
ing for American grown silk. The mar
liet already exists. so no expense need
be incurred to create one.
When the magnitude of the American
manufacture of silk is taken into con-
sideration, it seems strange that this
matter of producing raw material here
has not been given more attention. The
other silll-producins nations, excepting
England. produce a large portion of the
raw silk used on their looms. For
years France has led the world in silk
production. and still claims that dis
tinction. altho this country is coming
up the scale rapidly. AT this time the
United States ranks second as Il silk
producer.
1t now remains for Secretary Wilson
to demonstrate that silk raising Is
profitable and the country VIII nave

PROFITS oE RICE GROWING.

| The growing of rice in southern and
central Louisiana and southeastern
Texas is getting beyond the expert
mental stage and has been productive OF
| returns OF the most encouraging nature
| Rice growing requires ilrisation--wa-
| ter, and an abundance of it is needed
The crude methods OF supplying this
| moisture have hitherto interfered with
added to this, a drouth last Year de-
Istroyed or shortened the crop. Rice
planters, however, are mastering the
situation by establishing more complete
irrigation systems. Late rains also have
aided in assuring the crop this year.
a Well posted observer ID. A Wiley,
who writes from the field, states that
the man who wishes to become rice
farmer can secure an ample fund of
tiers to enable him to calculate closely
on the tilling a tract of ten, 100 or TO-
600 acres. for he can find companies
who have invested half a million doll
lars to purchase and prepare farms"
of the last-named size for the industry,
but the majority of the growers have
confined their individual effort to fifty
or 100 acres
Taking group of the 100-acre pro-
to,
penses are as follows: Flowing and Gull
tivating, 81 an acre: seeding, $3.50:
harvesting, threshing and hauling crop
to mill or railroad station, So. Levee
work and other items swell the total
cash outlay of 'making'' the crop to $50
an acre. The owner contracts with the
irrigation company to furnish sufti-
cent water for the season for one-ti fifth
of the yield unless he controls his Wa
terworks. which for 100-acre farms cost
from $1,000 to $1,5O0. The harvest, of
course. varies considerably. 1t may be
ten barrels OF 162 pounds each to the
acre. A specially favorable season may
increase ii to fifteen barrels. The price.
too. fluctuates. Basing 1t at $3.50 per
barrel for the minimum yield, the far
mer obtains $500 from his rice alone. De-
Quoting interest at 6 per cent on the
cost of his land at $40 an acre, taxes,
and insurance, he nets a profit of $500
But to this he can add $500, the value
of the straw and bran left after thresh-
ing Thus so per cent of the original
land value may be paid by the proceeds
of one years harvest. Usually enough
vegetables, perhaps fruit. are raised for
the family supply. and the tendency to
diversity is becoming yearly more pro-
nounced for the energetic grower has
an opportunity To produce Some other
staple during the half-year when the
rice is not under cultivation. The profit
may average nearer SIS or $50 an acre
from all sources of income than the es-
innate given.
Nearly every one who enters upon
this work becomes an enthusiast. The
fact that rice is Il staple article of food,
and that the area In which 1T can be
grown is limited. adds to the courage of
these growers They feel certain that
they will reap large profits.
