Oats Crop is Ruined.

More than half the oat crop has
been lost in Iowa and there will be an
unusually large amount of unmarked
able corn, according to the weekly re-
port of j. r. Sage, of Des Moines, di--
rector of the Iowa climate and crop
service. On the other hand, the yield
of apples will be larger than at first
expected and the yield of potatoes in
the state at large will be fair. Mr..
Sage's bulletin for the week, which by
the way is the last one for the season,
with the exception of one about Sep
TENDER 80, was received at the Courier
office this morning. 1t says:
The daily mean temperature of the
week was to 6 degrees below nor
NAL, with light frosts in many locali-.
ties. The rainfall was generally light,
except in some of the northwestern
counties. The conditions were favora-
Bile for cutting corn, threshing and
other farm work There are numer--
GUS reports of damage TO late corn
from effects from frosts in all dis
trict but the most serious injury ap-.
pears to have been wrought in the
north central and portions of the cen.
trail districts. The full extent of loss
in quality of the crop may not be as
certained until the corn is gathered.
1t is certain that there will be an I'M
usually large amount of soft and I'M
marketable stuff to be disposed Of by
feeding as early as practicable. The
potato harvest is in progress, and the
yield promises to he fairly good fol
the state at large. The harvest of ap
pies reveals larger output than was
expected
More than half the oats crop has
been lost, or rendered practically
worthless by excessive rains. Spring
wheat and barley have suffered detri-
ment from the same cause. Earl,
planting, timely cultiyating, pushing
the harvesting, and careful stacking
appear to have been most successful
in this season of adverse conditions.
