Short Corn Crop Certain.

1t is now an absolute certainty that
in this section Of Iowa there will net
be full crop Of corn this year.
In an informal chat that an oska-
loosa man had with Secretary Wilson
last week, this fact was touched up
on, and the venerable secretary wax
ed loquacious and gave utterance TO
some Of his characteristic horse
sense. He said:
In view Of the evident shortage
in the corn crop which you are now
facing, it behooyes every farmer to
faithfully harbor his crop resources
and allow no forage Of any character
to go unutilized, thus minimizing the
efforts Of the corn shortage.
Soft corn or roasting ears have
better fattening qualities before be-
ing frozen, and it will pay to bury
some good woven wire fencing and
fence off all the patches along the
side, or even in the middle of the
field, which are bound to be caught
by the frost, and turn the hogs in. 1t
will not cost much in money or work,
and in nine cases out of ten you can
save one hundred and fifty dollars
worth Of feed with twenty-five dol
lars worth of fence, and you win
have the fence left to use elsewhere
when you want it. ..,
Elaborate experiments by the de-
partment have proven the best fence
for this or any other purpose to be
the American Field Fence"
The Hawkeye Lumber Co. are the
exclusive agents here of this great
fence. 51tf

The reported value Of farm lands
in Mahaska county this year was
$46.19 per acre. This was reduced
by the equalization board to $43.S9,
as compared with an equalized value
of $44,28 in 1901, reduction OF s per
cent. Marion county was not chang
ed from $1,000 and Poweshiek re-
manned the same, $3.50. Jasper

The reported actual value Of lands
this year was $1,455,524,027, and the
adjusted actual value is $1,457, 54S,-

above, that the council added to the
aggregate of the farm land assess
ment the sum Of $2,O24,703. The net
increase in the actual adjusted value
of lands over 1902 was $207,624,971.

IOWA CROP BULLETIN.
Condition in the State as Noted by
the Weather Bureau.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE first
Of the week was dry and very warm,
followed by well distributed and ben
eficiaI showers and cooler weather.
The week closed warm and showery,
with some heavy local rains. There
was an average of about four days of
good harvest weather, which was well
improved. Except in portions of the
northern section the hay and grain
harvest is practically completed. All
reports indicate very heavy crop
of hay, mostly secured in good condi-
tion. Threshing wheat, oats and bar
ley is in progress, with somewhat va
riable reports as to yield. Generally,
however, the output Of spring wheat
and oats is reported to be below the
average in amount and weight of
grain. The copious showers have
been timely and beneficial to the
corn crop, and as whole it has made
fairly good progress. 1t needs warm
er weather in the future, and is now
in condition to mature with but lit
tie additional moisture. There are
numerous reports of damage to the
potato crop by rotting and blight
There is no special change in the
condition of the apple crop.

RUSTY NAIL IN FOOT.
Fred HogeIand, staff W1rker at
Hotel Downing, IS Hurt.

Fred Hogeland, one of the staff
workers at work on the decorating
of the new Hotel Downing, met with
a painful and very serious accident
this morning while engaged at his
work. In stepping about and looking
at his work, not noting where his
feet went, the man stepped fairly up
on an upturned nail in some loose
boards. The spike went through
the thin, sole of the shoe and pene-
trated deep into the foot, causing a
very painful and bad wound. The
wound bled profusely nor was the
flow staunched for some time in or
der that any poisonous matter that
might have gone into the wound
might be carried out. DR.. r. G.
Hoffman was called and dressed the
wound. No complications are antici-
pated. This is the second accident
of this same kind that has occurred
at the, building during the progress
of the work. Mr.. PARROT, the mason
contractor, was the first victim. A
rusty nail penetrated his foot and al
most came through the top OF the
shoe.

WEATHER IN AUGUST.
The Rev. Hicks Promises a Bunch
Of Trouble All Month.

II the Rev Mr.. Hicks. weather
prognosticator, has matters sized UP
right, the month of August contains
a peck of trouble. He says that the
month will be filed to overfowing
with severe heat, cloudiness, buster.
ing winds, rains, thunder and light
ming. Rev. Hicks says the whole
month will feel more or less the in,
fluence Of the equinox of the planet
Mars. This will extend from the last
of July and into September and will
be central on the goth of August
Storm disturbances will be due from
the 1st to the 4th. A crisis of sum
mer heat will develop about the LIST
I'd and Sd to be followed by threaten
ing clouds and severe clustering. Lo
cal rains some of them quite heavy
may attend these storms, but the
general supply and diffusion of rain
over the country promises to be
short and poorly distributed. These
conditions will probably be followed
by rising barometer from the Attn
to the 9Th. .,
A reactionary storm period exists
on the 9Th, 7th and 9Th, during which
days increasing warm weather and
falling barometer, with marked ten.
denotes to black clouds and thunder
storminess, may be expected. These
disturbances will eliminate about
the Sth land some of the central and
northern parts of the country will be
visited by severe storms. Then a
change to rising barometer, westerly
winds and cooler weather may be eX,
pected.
One of the heated terms of the
month will appear from about the
18th to the 10th. At the beginning
of this period the warm wave will
start in western sections, attended
by low and falling barometer; easter.
ly to southerly winds will increase
the heat over all sections east of the
actual storm centers. Threatening
clouds with. severe cold storms will
visit many sections, with favorable
conditions for some generous mid
summer rains.
There is applicability Of much rain
from the 18th to the 18th, and by the
18th and 10th cooler weather will pre-
vail. From the 18th to the 10th there
will be a perceptible reaction to ris'
ing temperature, falling barometer
and return to cloudiness and storms
On and touching the 18th and 18th
This will be followed by another re-
turn to cooler and more pleasant
weather about the 10th to the 21st.
There is a prospect that there will
be a period of violent and dangerous
storms from the 21st to the 9th. The
18th and Goth will bring a reaction to
the storm conditions, and more or less
storminess and rain will result in
many localities. Rising barometers
and change to cooler will mark the
closing hours of the month.

LEIGHTON.

Ed Hoffman has been having quite
a serious time with his eyes for the
last two weeks. The upper eyelids
became paralyzed so that he had no
power to raise them and he could not
see for awhile. One of them is very
much better, but the other one is still
closed.
Carl Kuine met with a very serious
accident last Sunday as they were
going home from church. He is
about 10 or IL years old and as he
was riding along ne held his foot
out against the wheel SO that itwould
bump against the spQkes. His foot
slipped between the spokes and he
was jerked out and the wheel made
one revolution with his leg fast. The
muscles of the calf of the leg were
torn loose from the bone but no bones
were broken. He has a very bad leg
and suffers very much with it. DR..
Howe is treating it.
Abe Dykstra shipped 48 hogs to
