DUBUQUE CROPS GOOD.
Northwestern Iowa Has Been Benefited
by Recent Rains.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, June 1.-The farmers Of
Dubuque county are we'll pleased with
the outlook for a large crop this sum-
mer They assert that the recent rains
instead of causing damage We're
boon. The ground was dry and with
stood the soaking 1t received without
setting the crops back.
Members Of the board Of supervisors
who live in the different parts of the
county and who make several trips
to the city every week are feeling ju-
bilant at the looks Of the farms and
they say that the farmers instead OF
grumbling are singing all day long.
There will be an unusually large
crop this season said Supervisor Pill
lard. who resides at Table Mound
township, everything looks lovely"
to use a term admired by the ladies'
All the corn is nearly planted and the
heavy rains did not cause any wash
outs down our way. The hay crop
will be enormous. / never saw the hay
looking better and the only thing nee
essary to make the farmers rich is
good weather to cut 1T. The oat crop
will be heavy and is so thick and fine
looking that passing along the roads
one can not see the ground.
Speaking OF the condition of the'crops
the supervisors called attention to the
fact that there is an unknown noXious
weed growing along the roadways of
the county and that neither horses nor
cows will eat it. The weed looks like
clover, the similarity being so strong
that persons frequently stop to feed
their horses on it, and do not discover
their mistake until they make a close
examination. The plant grows very
high.

tie loss in acreage Of corn by reason
of the excessive rains this month. The
trouble now comes from lack OF OPP

If oats take rank growth trouble will
come later on. The Cedar river reached
the highest stage for years today the
bottom lands are covered with water
There will be some damage to crops
but the area is limited Fields border
ing on sloughs will have more or less

cent. The rains west Of here, say from
Iowa Falls west, have been heavy.
From here east the rainfall has been
much lighter The farmers expect

the shortage of the past two or three
years.

corn on the high ground is also good,
altho delayed short time in seeding.
The rains of the past week have rem

portion of the work had been accom-
plished before this time. Fruit and
garden truck are reported to be about
an average crop. While the rains of

siderable damage from swollen streams
they seem to have effected the growing

Eldora, Iowa, June 1.-The
week closed Saturday night has
been one of the wettest and gloomiest
known in this vicinity for many years.
The heavy fall of rain coming at a
time. when the ground was saturated
with water has drowned out q large
acreage of corn and oats besides
washing the soil from the higher and
rolling ground into the streams. 1t is
estimated by conservative men that
fully twenty-five per cent of the piowed
land of the country is under water,
or so wet that no crop can be grown
on it and If the rain continues, much
of the crop already sown will be
drowned out.
The situation is most serious, as a
% per cent loss means all the profit
and a greater loss will mean a part of
the livins.
