The Tennis Tournaments

On Tuesday last the Decorah Tennis
Club sent over team of six strong
and husky players, accompanied by a
band OF of rooters, in all about twenty.
At three o'clock the game began.
From then until half after six, the
courts resounded with applause at the
well played points, and gwans at the
poor ones.
For high scores, Baker and Marsh
led, while Alger and Daubney have a
shut out in sets to their credit. Mont
gomery and Riley were the only visitors
wearing glasses, which seemed to hand
leap them in their games with Allen
Cutting. These were played after the
thunder clouds came up.
The Rev. McVettie, of Decorah suf-
fered the only accident, which was
laughable rather than serious. He was
hit in the temple by ball and did a
clean-cut back handspring.
The visitors were highly pleased with
our courts and with the entertainment
in general. Our boys have progressed
greatly since the defeat of last year.
Perhaps (who knowsD we can do better
next time.
The following table shows the scores.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. I, 1905.
In the larger part of the state this
has been an ideal week for growth Of
immature crops, with good conditions
for harvesting and threshing the
ripened cereals. The oats crop is
mainly in shock or stack, and thresh-
ing returns indicate yield above the
average of recent years. The harvest
of spring wheat is nearly finished to
the north line of the state, and the
general condition of this crop is fair.
ly good in the districts where the
acreage is largest. There have been
but few reports OF damage by rust.
Corn has advanced rapidly in response
to high temperatures and generally
ample moisture. 1t is caring heavily,
and the earliest planted, fields make
good showing of roasting ears. The
crop as q whole is very promising,
Pastures are holding out notably we'll.
The apple crop has steadily declined,
and expert fruitmen report not more
than a third Of the normal yield for
the state.
The August 1st report of crop cor
respondents has been tabulated,

condition Of crops on the percentage
basis: Corn, "a per cent; spring wheat,
50; oats, 81; flax, Is; potatoes, 92;
