FARMING CONDITIONS.
Season Somewhat Backward in North
ern Part Of Iowa.
Special to Times-Republican.
Special to III

Dickens, April 1b.-The ground was
full, Of water last fall when It froze up
and the spring is rather cold and back
ward. A few farmers have commenced
seeding. but the ground is very wet and
seeding progresses very slowly.
Last year was a very promising one
for the farmers until about harvest
time, when 1t commenced raining and
kept it up until large part of the
small grain was spoiled and all more or
less damaged. Then the early frost
killed most of the corn while 1t was
yet green, so that instead of being one
of the most prosperous years for our
farmers, as 1t bid fair to be In the early
season, it was one of the hardest on
the cash renter, and many of them have
pulled out for the Dakotas and Canada,
and there are now a few farms yet for
rent in this vicinity, but they will all be
planted to something. Land is too val
liable to let 1t go uncultiyated.
There have been few cases of Ger
man measles in and around town this
winter, but the smallpox was effect
lively stamped out last fall.
The elevators are doing but little, but
our merchants have good trade, and
all hope for general revival of BUSH
ness when the farmers get their crops
In the ground.

BURLINGTON CHANGE.
Will Build viaduct Instead Of Remov
ing Rock island Tracks.

ing Rock island Tracks.
Oskaloosa, April 15.-Since last Fri
day the Burlington management has
determined upon change In the work
southwest of this city. In place of hay
ing the Rock Island tracks moved over
in the cut to the north a number Of
feet and making an Objectionable re-
verse curve for both the Burlington and
Rock Island tracks it has been deter
mined to remove the south abutment
of the Iowa Central viaduct over the
Burlington and the Rock Island right
of-way and take the tracks of the Bur-
lington into the city from the west on
simple curve.
Engineer Wilcox and Mr.. Bessler, of
the system, some of the higher Off
Gals of the Rock Island and some of
the Iowa Central officers were in the
city and had conference regarding
the matter and this decision was
reached. The other work in the cut
having been completed the steam show
ell gang, has been ordered to Tracy. and
the dump cars and the shovel were
loaded up Sunday and Monday and
day morning Via the Iowa Central and
thence VIA the Burlington w ITdcy
Just how soon this work. will be COM
menced is not known, but preliminary
operations will be started in a few days.
1t is thought that it can be finished by
the time the other parts OF the work
will permit the running of trains.
The road secured a ten-year contract
with the Rock Island for the use of
their cut under the Central, but it was
generally understood that the arrange
ment was only temporary and that the
road would as soon as possible put in a
new abutment and new bridge for
the Iowa Central and straighten out its
tracks according to the original plans,
The recent order means that there
will be new viaduct for the Central
at the expense of the Burlington om-
pany.

menced Monday In nearly all of the Ida
county districts and graded schools,
and, aItho the limited supply of teach
ers almost approaches a shortage, yet
1t is not likely that any of the rural
schools Will be left without instructors,
aud the gratifying part of the situation
Is that while teachers are much scarcer
than in former years, their average
qualifications are much higher as in
6icated by the preponderance Of first
and second grade certificates. Ten of
the twelve townships In the county

Superintendent Hold Meet
ing at De. Moines.

Des Moines April 15.-The conven-
ton of county superintendent called
to meet here yesterday and today by
superintendent r. c. Barrett of the de-
partment of public instruction, met in
the offices Of the department yesterday
afternoon. One Of the first subjects
brought to the attention of the con-
vention was legislation on teachers
wages, and while the convention took
no action, it would not be surprising II
. suggestion made to the superintend-
ents in q letter from Ex- Superintendent
Henry Sabin would bear fruit and the
next general assembly be called on to
consider a measure Intended to remedy
the present situation.
Mr. Sabin believes Iowa ought to
enact law similar to one passed in
Pennsylvania. This fixes $35 per month
as the minimum for the wages of a
teacher. MIR. Sabin was unable to be at
the meeting, and In q letter expressed
his regret at being unable to be pres
ent. He then added the following, in
which he summed up his views on the
low wages of teachers in this state:
please give my respects to the SUI
perintendents present and say to them
that wish them great success, espe-
cially in getting the salaries of the
teachers in the country raised to a rea-
sonable limit. II we could all make
up our minds to pull together for one
thing, and one only. next winter We
could get the Pennsylvania law thru
the legislature, and after that no teacl,-
er in the state would work for less than
$35. It is worth making the effort to
accomplish anyway.
The subject was not discussed yes
terday afternoon by the superintend-
.ents,. but it is likely to be brought UP at
the, meeting today.
On opening the convention, Super
intendent Barrett took occasion to-
point out how the schools of Iowa had
grown in the last forty years.
Mr. Barrett quoted from statistical
tables In his report to show the growth
OF the educational system since 1862. In
1892, the number of ungraded schools
was $685., and in 1901. 1858. There
were no graded schools in 1862, while
IN 1901 there were 5.S75. The number
OF male teachers increased from 3.61S
to 4,757, and the number of female
teachers from 4,1S7 to 24,0Ss. All
along the line similar expansion was
shown.
The county superintendent at the
meeting were:
