Crop Bulletin

For week ending May 18.
Des Moines la. The past week
was warmer than usual, with
excessive rainfall in about two
thirds of the state. The rela-
lively dry portions of the state
are in the three eastern districts
and in some localities the need
of rain to soften the clods is
strongly emphasized. The ex-
cessive downpour occurred, .for
the most part, in the counties
where the rainfall for the sea-
son had been greatest. Plow-
ing and planting operations
have been delayed in the satur-
ated section, but wherever field
work waspracticable it has been
vigorously pushed. In the most
favored localities corn planting
is we'll advanced, and reports
indicate very prompt germina-
tion in all we'll drained and pro-
perly titled fields. Unusual
care has been exercised in the
selection of seed corn, and the
results are so far encouraging.
Grass in pastures and mea
dows and small grain have
made very satisfactory growth.
With normal weather condi-
tions in the near future the
general crop situation in the
state will be much improved.
Fairly good reports are re-
ceived as to apples and some of
the most important small fruits.
The Marshalltown Times-Re-
publican says E. P. Popejoy, a
prominent farmer of the south
part of that county, has inaugu-
rated a new price scale for stock
pasturage. He takes in consid-
cradle numbers of cattle to pas
! ture the price rate on which has

been fifty cents for yearlings,
Is cents for 2 year olds, and 81
for 3 year olds. Hereafter Mr..
Popejoy will collect 2 cents for
each pound gained by every an
lmal from the time it enters his
pastures until taken away by
it's owner. The plan is we'll re-
ceived by cattle owners as tend
ing to prevent over stocking of
pastures and greater care for
the cattle on the part of the
owner of the land.

Settled at Last.
The action of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday in find
ing the Saloon consent petition
good and sufficient, settled a
row that has been going on in
this city for four years. There
is no questioning the fact that
the majority of the people of
Missouri Valley are in favor of
the license saloon, in reference
to the 'bootlegger." Out of the
858 voters who voted in this
city at the last city election this
spring, 7O5 of them or over 80
per cent signed the petition of
consent for the saloon to run.
This should be sufficient to
people of Harrison County that
the people of Mo. Valley want
the legalized saloon, and not the
"bootlegger,' and should forev-
er settle this question.
c. N. Caldwell, of Logan, the
President of the Anti-Saloon
League of this county, stated a
fact, when he said to the Board
of Supervisors: "The League
decided the effort to obtain a
petition in Missouri Valley was
purely a local question to be set
tied entirely by the people Of
Mo. Valley"
That position is sound in the
ory and fact, and should be full
ly recognized by every voter in
the county.
When over 80 per cent of the
voters of this city petitioned for
any thing legal, it should be
granted.
Now, that the question it set
tied, it is up to the Saloon men
themselves to see that they run
faithfully according to law, and
thereby convince the 80 per ct,
who signed the petition that
their confidence has not been
misplaced. We believe the pro-
prietors will run their places in
such a manner that there will
be no just reason for any man
who signed the petition to re-
gret his action.

superintendent of the Nebraska
and Wyoming division of the
Northwestern road, would soon
replace Mr.. BidWell as manager.
Mr.. Bidwell is at present in
California, where he is resting,
his health having been seriously
impaired, it is said.
When asked with reference
to the rumor Mr.. Hughes said
that he knew of no change to be
made in the management of the
Nebraska and Wyoming divis-
ion, and stated that there was
no truth in the report that he
had been offered the position of
manager. He said that Mr..
BidWell was in California on a
leave of absence for a much
needed rest and that he would be
absent from the city probably a
month. World Herald.
