IOWA CROP Bulletin. ECHO OF SPANISH WAR
Conditions in the State as Noted by
y the Weather Bureau.

Des Moines, April 1.-THE past
winter was abnormally cold, and the
ground was frozen to an unusual
depth. The frost has yielded slowly,
and the surface has been too wet for
field work, except On the driest lands.
The season is ten days later than the
average in all parts of the state. A
fair start has been made in seeding
small grain in the more favored local
tiles, but the general storm Of rain
and snow on the TIN, Sth and 9th
retarded all farm operations. There
is a much larger than usual area OF
fall-ploWed ground in readiness for
seeding and planting, and the acre
age Of oats, spring wheat, barley and
corn is likely to be quite large if the
weather conditions are favorable. Re
ports indicate considerable damage to
fall wheat by winter-kilIing. Grass
is making a fair start So far as can
be ascertained at this time the pros.
pect is favorable for fruit The gen.
eral condition of live stock is good.
and there is an abundant supply OF
forage.

PLANS.

Altho the summer school pupils of
the Munroe school had an all day pic
mic and excursion to Minnehaha, Fort
Smelling and Como park today, 1t was
the saddest day of the session, for it
meant the closing Of the school. The
little ones beseeched the principal to
continue the work, but the only
promise that could be obtained was
that home classes might be formed.
The Monroe school Is the first to
close. An exhibition was given of the
work in the manual training depart
ment and in the cooking and sewing
schools. Even the teachers were sur
prised at the good work shown. After
the closing exercises, D. H. Painter
explained what had been accom-
plished and outlined next years plans.
Among the other schools, closing
exercises will be held for the Madison
day; the Sherman, Thursday and the
Bethel settlement, Friday. The exer-
cises will be held from 9 to IL a. M,
and friends Of the pupils are invited.
The first part will be taken up with
actual work, followed by display Of
the work. There will be an excursion
for each school. Blaine has already
| had its outing.
1.-The success of the schools has ex-
ceeded our fondest expectation" said
Mr.. Painter this morning. ''The
ability shown has been excellent and
the attendance large. To show the

mistake we opened on circus day.
Altho we did not expect a apupil, we

soon afterwards joined by several
hundred other strangers and the en-

At daybreak this morning the
crowd. eager for registration, rapidly
increased, and when Superintendent
McKenny Of the registration board
ordered the doors opened, fully 1,20O
men and women stood&in line ready to
have their names entered for a claim

Outside of the ordinary rush to get
into line on such occasions, nothing
unusual marked the opening day OF
registration. Not more than one-
hand when the doors opened this
morning. However, the last few days
of registration will be more largely
attended than the opening, as few OF
those seeking claims are willing tC
spend three or four weeks here al
