1t is just eleven years ago this spring
that we had such heavy rainfall, and
80 much damage was done to the
farms and fields by the swollen streams.
Let US hope that the great rainfall OF
the past month doesn't presage as
many disastrous freshets as character
lied the spring of 1892.
What a blessing we didn't have such
miserable roads last winter when there
was no feed In the country. Last
winter all feed had to be hauled from
the railroad station into the country,
and II the roads had been In the con.
dition they are now 1t would have been
just impossible to transport 1t.
A reverend gentleman was in the
city the past week e~ndeavoring to get
our people to take stock in the pro-
posed Jerusalem exhibit at the Worlds
Fair. He secured several hundred
dollars in subscriptions but would
doubtless have been more successful
had he arrived here before Arnold &
Co. .'scooped" the Valley.

General Farm Conditions Better ana;
Crop Outlook Good.
Special to Times Republican.
Des AIoines, April 2S.-The past week
was cool and cloudy, with a light rain-s
fall. At the central station the daily
temperature was FIVE degrees below
normal which was about the average
deficiency for the state Light to heavy
frosts, with some ice, were observed on
several mornings. and traces OF snow
were reported at number OF stations
on the 25th. The extent of damage to
fruit can not be ascertained at this timef
but it is probably not heavy. IS
The general conditions for farm work
have been somewhat better than dur
ing the preceding week. The soil is
slowly drying, tho there is still great
excess of moisture in fiat and un-
drained fields, some of which are not
likely to be seeded or planted this sea-
son. Seeding of small grain is practi-
cally completed, except in portions OF
the north central and northeast dis.
.tricts. Early seeded fields generally
show good stand. tho the growth has
been retarded by cold weather.
Wherever the land is sufficiently dry
piowing for corn has been vigorously
pushed In few favored localities in
the west and southwest planting has
been begun. Reports indicate that the
soil is generally heavy and more than
the usual amount of labor is required
to put5itin good tilth for planting. With
the restoration of normal weather cons
dftions the crop outlook will be good.

are in astate of suspense and uncer-

Weather Bureaus $ Weekly Crop
Report Continues Unfavor-
able In Central Belt
CORN PLANTING MOVES SLOWLY
Kansas Wheat Crop Needs Rain and
Rust Has Appeared In Southern
Missouri-North and South Dakota
Report Good Stands and Satisfactory
termination Of Spring Wheat.

Washington, April 2S.-Following IS
summary Of the weather bureaus
weekly crop report: Nearly the whole
country east of the Rocky Mountains
experienced unseasonably lower tenn
peratures during the week ending April
"a, and while the rain fall in central
valleys has been light, considerable
areas are receiving no appreciable
amount. Farm work has made very
slow progress in consequence OF the wet
soil, and low temperatures. AS in the
previous week corn planting has made
slow progress more particularly over
the central and eastern portions of the
corn belt, and in the middle Atlantic
states, but better progress has been
made in Kansas and Nebraska ana
preparations for planting have been
vigorously carried on in Iowa and por-s
tions of Illinois. While the condition
of winter wheat continues very promis-
ing. slight deterioration is indicated
over the central and eastern portions
of the wheat belt, as the result Of the
excessive moisture and low tempera-
lures. Rust and insects have appeared
in some counties in southern Missouri
and Nebraska, and portions of the KAN
sas crop would be benefited by rain.
On the Pacific coast the outlook contin-
ues favorable, except in Washington,
where much was winter killed. Spring
wheat seeding is we'll advanced over
the northern portion of the spring
wheat region, and under favorable con-
ditions will be practically completed
in the central districts during the
coming week. Satisfactory germina-
tion and good stands are reported from
South Dakota, and Iowa, but cool
weather has retarded termination In
Minnesota and Wisconsin. In Missouri
and Central Mississippi valleys oat
seeding has been well advanced. but
in the Ohio valley much seeding re-
mains to be done. Termination early
sown in Michigan, Wisconsin and uM-
|noiss has been satisfactory.
