cosT OF A HOT WAVE.

In the course Of an article In the
Boston Transcript detailing the cost
70 the country OF such q hot wave as
the east experienced within the last
fortnight, the Writer states that the
hot wave OF 1894 cost the state OF
Iowa alone $4,000 900, or nearly dou.
bic the property loss In the Galveston
disaster. This Is the estimate made
by experts OF the agricultural depart.
ment, based upon comparison Of the
average value of 1owa's crops with
their reduced value after the extreme
and protracted heat nad produced It's
blightlng effects. When II is consid-
cred that the aggregate value Of the
farm crops OF the state that year was
but 1921 ,2S4 500, while in 1901, for in.
stance, II was S274,0s0,930, and the
average for the past fourteen years
has been $1S2,s53,420, the depart.
ment's estimate may ne accepted az
conservative.
The expensiyeness OF hot wave
seems to be concluslyeiy proved. Not
only Is human life sacrificed, and the
efficiency OF the worlds workers. as
well as their health ana comfort greav
ly impaired, but millions upon million
OF dollars worth of prospective
wealth are completely destroyed. the
writer calls attention 10 the fact that
extremes Of cold weather come at
time when there Is little to lose, but
the hot wave deyastates the country
in the producing time OF the year
when the nations productive wealth
Ia in a formative period. Happily the
experience Of this state in 1894 was
exceptional and may never be re.
peated.
