GENERAL CROP CONDITIONS.
Summary Of the Situation in the Ayr
cultural States,

| SNtSuTdI 0tdIeSs
| Washington Sept. 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of the crop
conditions is as follows:
| In the northern district eastward of
| the Rocky Mountains the week ending
August 81 was abnormally cool with
excessive rainfall, except over a few
| limited areas. In the southern states
and over the southern portions of the
Icentral valleys and middle Atlantic
states, the temperature averaged about
normal and generally favorable for
advanced crops, although portions of
south Atlantic and east gulf districts
| suffered from excessive heat. Portions
| of the south Atlantic and east gulf
states and Tennessee, southern Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and western Texas are
| In need of rain, while heavy rains III
| the Missouri valley and lake region de-
| layed work, causing injury to the grain
| in shock and retarded the maturity of
crops. Showers in the Pacific coast
states have been highly beneficial.
Light frosts. altho causing seif-
Gus damage, were of general occurrence
| in the middle and northern Rocky
Mountain districts on the 9th and 18th.
| Over the northern portion of the
northern belt, cool, wet weather has
been very unfavorable for the advance
ment of corn, which is in urgent need
of warm, dry weather. More favorable
conditions prevail over the southern
portion of the northern belt, where the
crop has made good progress. The out
I look in the upper Ohio valley, where
corn has suffered seriously from
drought, has been greatly improved by
recent rains. Cutting is in progress in
the southern portions of Kansas and
Missouri. The harvest of spring
wheat Is finished, except in the north
ern Rocky Mountain states and on the
north Pacific coast where rains delayed
completion. In the Dakotas, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Wisconsin, stacking and
threshing are seriously interrupted, and
considerable damage has been caused
| by excessive moisture. Favorable re-
ports respecting apples are received
| from portions of the middle Atlantic
states, New England, upper Ohio VAL
| lev and from southern Kansas, but
elsewhere there has been a general de-
elm in the condition of this crop.

SCHOOL PLAN A FAILURE.
Self Government In High School
Ida Grove to be Abandoned.

Ida Grove, Sept. 1.-The self gov
eminent plan established in the Ida
Grove high school last winter has been
abandoned, and the old method will be
in force during the approaching school
year. This fact is indicated in a letter
to the patros of the school from Paul
F. Voelker, superintendent, which is
published in this weeks issue fthe To-
cal papers In the course of this letter
the superintendent says:
Last years plan of government will
not be continued. The people do not
want it and in republic the will of the
people is final: The public school is the
peoples school, the peopl sanction 1t,
they pay for it and they get the benefit
from it. Self government is an ideal
condition and ought to be encouraged
in every school. No pupil will amount
10 anything unless he acquires self
knowledge, self respect and self control
Whether pupil, government or teacher
government will best aid in bringing
about self government is matter with
which we are now concerned"

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
The week past brought three days of
warm weather, and the balance of the
week was cloudy, wet and cool. The
average daily deficiency in telnpera-
ture was 2 to degrees. The rainfall
was above normal in all parts of the
state, and reports show phenomenal
downpours at numerous stations in tn ,
west, central and southern districts,
ranging from 5 to II inches, the larger
part of which fell on the afternoon
and night of the 26th., There was d
general need of showers, especially in
the southern part of the state, and it
is probable that the beneficial effects
of the copious moisture will exceed the
damage to the corn crop resulting from
local floods and high winds. AS q
whole the crop made some advance
ment and with a month OF good ripen-
ing weather considerable portion IF
the acreage planted may reach ma
turity. In the present variable and
critical condition OF corn no one is wise
enough to forecast the final output.
There is absolute certainty, however
as to the urgent need of warm aud
dry weather for the greater part of the
coming month.
The copious rainfall assures ample
pasturage and facilitates fall plowint,,
which is we'll begun. Late potatoes
have been benefited. tho there are
numerous reports of damage by rotting.
The fall apple crop is quite good in tho
northern half of the state. Winter
apples very light.

C. M. & st. P. Road Backs Move

ment the Railroads Reward.

Dubuque Sept Iowa creamery
MEN will be interested in the move
ment backed by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul railroad to consolidate
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and Wisconsin.
The plan is to interest dairymen in
the butter manufacturing plants To-
Gated in the large cities and towns
by Offering better prices for their pro-
duct. The ailroad's reward will be
the tariff derived from the shipment OF
the milk to the centralized creamer-
les.
During the past three months w
d. Carrick, general baggage agent for
the Milwaukee, has been perfecting the
plan, and now has the new system In
working order on the company's lines
in Minnesota, South Dakota and parts
OF Wisconsin.
Mr. Carrick, in discussing the new
method of handling the milk and dairy
products for the farmers said:
Our plan is in accordance with the
present age of consolidation and CEN
tralization. We want the dairy men to
ship their cream to the city creamer-
les where they will get better prices
and prompt service.
I'VE propose to have the dairymen
buy their own separators. A chilli
can work one OF the machines; 50
the farmer after milking is really I'M
ished with the work of marketing his
product Twice or three times week
we recommend that the cream be tax
en- to one of our stations left with our
agent and we will then care for its de-
livery to one of the creameries locate !
at central points.
1.-The farmer need not worry about
freight charges, the road will care for
the collection Of the freight bills from
the consignee. The cream will be car
ried in the baggage car, which assures
it's prompt delivery to the creamery.
The creameries to which we VIII
carry the cream will mail daily statS
ment to their country customers. Civ
ing the test of the butter fat. the prices
of their shipment. Semi monthly
checks will be mailed in payment for
the cream.
so far we have made arrangements
with thirty nine creameries in Mime
sofa and South Dakota. They are I'll
located at central points. like st. Paul.
Minneapolis, Mankato and Aberdeen
An idea Of the magnitude OF the Mil
waukee roads undertaking can be had
from the report of the state dairy and
fcad commissioner. There are ove-
$50 creameries in Minnesota. OF this
number 337 are adjacent to the lines
of the Milwaukee, system. These
creameries are patronized by 24,1s3
farmers and dairymen. The road pro-
poses to care for the entire business of
these creameries with less than one
tenth the number now operated.

Germans Are Disturbed.

washington. Sept. 1.-Ger1TAnS are
becoming more disturbed every Gay
ever the decline in the importation OF
meats caused by the inspection laws,
the exorbitant tariff, and inspection
charges. Consul General Mason, at
Berlin. in a communication to the de-
partlnent of state, says;
AS was generally expected there
come from the daily press turnout Ger
many com plants about the reduced
s,,nnly of meat caused by the drastic
meat inspection law, the last remaining
c;auses of which went into force In
Anril. 1908. The genera. effect OF the
new regulations is to be inferred from
the fact that during three months from
April | to June 80, 1908, only $500 tons
of fresh meats We're imported INTO Ger
MANY. against Ats tons during the
same period in 1901 and b,Ilb tons IN
1902. The imports OF smoked ana olheI
simply prepared meats cropped Iroaii
e s6i IONS to 2,240 and bacon from 5,Uto
IONS to III during the April-June quar-
ter as compared with The imports Tor
the same period of the preceding year.
Hams declined likewise from Sl0 tons
~ 95s and other forms of pork meats
from 1925 tons to 3D.
add to this the fact that by another
c,.use OF the same law, which has been
=, force since October, 1900, the impor-
tation of sausages and canned meats, OF
u.bicl, ss42 tons, valued at $2.046.sO0'
ws ore imported in 1899, has been pro-
r,hitefA and it will be apparent that
German meat importation has been re-
auced to one-third of It's former pro-
nortions. This in nation of such lfb-
eral and constant meat eaters as the
Germans is an economic fact OF. seri-
ons and far-reaching Importance.
