Insurance News.

Insurance men of the west who
read the daily columns of insurance
informal ton in the Chicago Record
Herald keep pace with the times
and are prepared for all emer-
gencies and contingencies that
have grown into the insurance bus
mess. The column with Insur.
ance Men gives in compact form
all the latest doings in the insur-
ance world, and is conceded by men
everywhere to be the best aud most
up-to-date report published by any
newspaper in the United States.
The Record-Herald does not copy
it's information from insurance Jour.
nails, but secures it first hand from
managers, agents and companies
and by telegraph from it's own
special correspondents, by tele.
phone and in special cable dis
patches from abroad. The New

no other paper. In fact, the Rec
ord-Herald is the only daily news
paper that gives insurance men the
first information daily on every inn
pertinent event in the insurance
business.

For week ending April 25. 1904.
Des Moines, Iowa.

DcS VIOlueS, Iowa.
Very unseasonably low tempera-
ture prevailed the first half of the
past week, causing nightly frosts
and deeply frozen soil, checking
termination and retarding field
work in the early morning hours.
The last three days were warmer,
and the week closed with heavy
showers which brought consider
able excess of moisture in the cen.
trail and southern sections. The
heaviest amount reported was 3.35
inches for the week at Des Moines.
In portions of the state rain was
timely and beneficial, but in large
area the amount was in excess Of
present needs.
Reports indicate that good pro.
gress has been made sowing small
grain and in preparation of soil for
corn planting. In fully three.
fourths of the state seeding has
been practically completed, but in
limited portions of all districts this
work has been somewhat retarded
by unfavorable conditions of the
SOIL. Quite probably this may re
suit In some decrease in acreage of
the oats crop, in comparison with
the area that would have been sown
under better conditions. Very good
advancement has been made in
blowing and preparing ground for
the corn crop, the acreage of which
promises to be much larger than
last year. termination has been
much retarded by cold weather,
and some fears are expressed of
damage to early sown grain by
freezing, but the loss from that
cause will be very small. On the
whole conditions are materially
