FAVORABLE TO FARMERS.
Are Pushing Planting of corn-Repor

are FuShing Ptantin9 OF Corn-heport
for Past Week.
The climate andscrop service bureau
of Iowa has just issued a bulletin of
the weather and crop conditions of the
state for the past week in which it
says:
This has been the most favorable
week of the season for field work. The
average temperature has been about
normal, and the rainfall was generally
light during the six working days of
the week. Wherever the soil is dry
enough for blowing, preparations for
corn planting have been vigorously
pushed. A considerable acreage is in
readiness for planting, and with fav-
the corn area will be planted before
May 20. The work of planting is al
ready we'll begun in all districts.
The condition of the soil is quite
variable, but on the average it is not
in as good filth as usual in the plant
ing season Grass and small grain
crops are doing fairly well. The
growth of pastures and meadows is
generally in advance of former sea-
SoEs.
Late reports as to the fruit crop are
much more cheerful in tone than last
week. The damage by frosts and
freezing weather is not nearly so great
as the earlier reports seemed to indi-
cate. The northern section will show
but slight injury. In the south and
west cherries and plums suffered
greatest damage. The apple crop is
still quite promising.

Senator Allison Said 10 Have
Made Draft Of Declaration
to be Submitted.
STRIVE FOR HARMONY
Re-Affirmation of the "Iowa ldea' to
be Eliminated From the Platform
Geo. E. Roberts Says Leaders Are
DESTROYS for Harmony.

Washington, D. c., May 12.-The
Iowa idea" will not again appear in
the republican state platform accord
ing to the opinions of republican lead
ers here. 1t is stated that Senator Alli-
son has drafted a tariff plank to be
submitted to the Iowa convention and
shown it to Senators Aldrich and
Spooner.
From a reliable source it is learned
that. during the conference of these
three senators at Hot Springs, Va, last
week Iowa politics was the subject of
considerable discussion. 1t is claim
ed that Senator Allison expressed him
self as DESTROYS that the republican
party of his state get into line with the
declarations of the national platform
1t is stated that at the conference Of
the senators tariff plank was evolv.
ed that is but slight modification of
the national plank adopted at the St
Louis convention in 1896.
Roberts Makes Statement.
Gorge e. Roberts, director of the
mint, when questioned concerning the
stories relative to Iowa politics said:
The leaders OF the party in lowe
have been comforting of late to see il
it is not practicable to write tariff
resolution that will be acceptable tt
both wings. and they have concluded
that it can be done. There is dispo
sition to avoid sharp issue in the
state convention this year, and the
feeling On both sides is that the differ
ences are not important enough to jus
tify such a rupture.
'.Of course the platform cannot be
definitely settled in it's language unit
the convention meets, and it is prema
ture for either side to declare that the
other has surrendered. The supporters
of the old platform have certainly MOI
slid down the pole nor abandoned an,
contention made in the old platform
Perhaps the differences will disappear
in recasting the resolution. The fac
is, that factional antagonisms hav,
been responsible for most of the fric
ton over the old platform and with the
approach of the presidential campaign
there is a disposition on both sides tt
get together.
