CONDITION OF IOWA CROPS
week Has Been U~nseasonnbly Dry and
Grain and Are
SufYprInn.

Following is the report Of Iowa weather
bureau for week ending April q. 1902:
The week has been unseasonably dry. very
light rainfall being reported from all dis
tricts. The temperature fell to freezing
point on several mornings, but It was
warmer at close Of the week and the
average was nearly normal. The conditions
Rave not been favorable for growth Of grass
in pastures and meadows, or for germina-
ton of spring wheat, oats and barley. But
there are no indications as yet of ma
terial damage to cereal crops. There are
many complaints of scarcity OF water for
stock, and in some localities forage is
nearly exhausted and we'll preserved corn
fodder and ensilage are at a premium.
Unusually good progress for the time OF
the year has been made in blowing and
preparing ground for planting corn, and
the acreage Of that great staple is likely
to be larger than in recent years. In a few
localities the planters have been started,
but farmers are generally waiting for
warmer weather. The soil is in an ideal
condition for planting.
The season is quite early in respect to
farm work, and about the average as to
growth Of vegetation.
Reports show fair prospect for fruits ex-
cept peaches and tender varieties of ber-
ries.

beef is selling in the London wholesale
market today at 10 cents per pound, an
advance Of 3 cents upon the price paid
before the recent upward movement. All
the authorities in the meat market here
practically concur in the view that this
increase is due to natural conditions, there
being a shortage OF supply arising from
various causes, the immense contracts for
South Africa being among them. The al
legged operations of the meat trust are dis,
counted on this side and a permanent in
crease in prices is regarded as unavoid-
able.

Cuba Must Have Consideration.

/ hope soon to submit to the Senate a
reciprocity treaty with Cuba. On May 20
last the United States kept its promise
to the island by formally vacating Cuban
soil and turning Cuba over to those whom
her own people had chosen as the first
officials of the new republic.
Cuba lies at our doors, and whatever
affects her for good or for i'll affects us
also So much have our people felt this
that in the Platt amendment we definite
ly took the ground that Cuba must here
after have closer political relations with
us than with any other power. Thus in
a sense Cuba has become a part of our
international political system. This
makes 1t necessary that in return she
should be given some of the benefits of
becoming part of our economic system.
1t is, from our own standpoint. a short
sighted and mischievous policy to fail to
recognize this need. Moreover. it is I'M
worthy Of a mighty and generous nation.
itself the greatest and most successful
republic in history, to refuse to stretch
out helping hand to young and weak
sister republic just entering upon its
career of independence. We should al
ways fearlessly insist upon our rights in
the face OF the strong, and we should
with ungrudging hand do our generous
duty by the weak. I urge the adoption
of reciprocity with Cuba not only because
1t is eminently for our own interests to
control the Cuban market and by every
means to foster our supremacy in the
tropical lands and waters south of us
but also because we, of the giant repub-
lie Of the North, should make all our sis
ter nations of the American continent
feel that whenever they will permit 1t we
desire to show ourselves disinterestedlN
and effectively their friend.
