that the average daily wage was $3.50

during the fire weeks of the strike, the
aoss In wages has aggregated more than

hundreds of others, made idle by the
strike, which will swell the total Of
BOSSES to considerably greater figure.
The cash loss to labor is by no means
she greatest expense of the strike. 1t
has cost millions to the farmers and
Feeders and consumers. II this cost
could be counted, its total would be
appalling. AS 1t Is the workingmen en-

|: LOOKER.ON IN IOWA !

knierirp, Aug. 19.-The other day in
Maxwell the writer saw In front OF a
hardware store stalk of corn, a far
mer had just brought in. that measured
fourteen feet and six inches In height.
On 1t were two ears of corn that a man
six feet in height was unable to reach.
The owner of this piece of corn says
his boy on horse back going into the
he heard" were in there, Couldn't see
them of course). boy and horse disap-
reared as though In forest Next
At Rockwell City one farmer hauled
to town 400 bushels of oats that were
raised on five acres. this machine
measure. They brought 27h cents per
bushel Another farmer near the same
town hao rifty-six acres of oats that
went" seventy bushels to the acre.
These figures come from grain dealers
and are reliable.
A banker in one of our Iowa towns
notices that the farmers In his vicinity
that stack their oats, have money on
deposit with him, while those that wait
for the machine are borrowers Says
of course there are notable exceptions,
but he is giving the rule.
The number Of fat cattle and fat hogs
in Iowa ready for market was never so
large as at the present time. Farmers
hesitate to ship them, and buyers are
not anxious to buy them, this for the
reason of the condition of the Chi
cago market during the present strike.
Stock shippers tell the writer that
they have not made n dollar since the
strike commenced. And both shippers
and farmers think the packers are
making more money than ever before.
One farmer who was on the Chicago
market with two loads of fat steers,
the day they went off 40 cents per
hundred" says the packers stole just
that amount OF money from him for
he knows dressed beef didn't go off
that day.
Oats are beginning to move, quite
freely Few towns that at this writing
have not shipped from ten to thirty
cars, and the money for this crop is
slowly getting into circulstio The
past ten days has virtually saved the
corn crop of Iowa. although an early
frost would still be damaging. But with
present prospects, the merchants are
feeling confident Of big trade this
fall. as business Is picking up" all
along the line.
The writer is naturally optimistic,
