Crop Bulletin.

Des MoineS, Iowa, April "a.
The first half of the week was dry,
cool and favorable for field work. On
Thursday and Friday copious showers
visited all parts of the state, except a
narrow belt in the norther tier of
counties, from Worth to Lyon. The
rainfall was timely and very beneficial
being followed by warmer weather.
Frost and ice were reported In all dis
tricts on several mornings, though
generally causing but little damage to
crops and fruits Good progress has
been made in preparation of ground
or corn, and large area is now ready
for the planters. The ground is still
cold, the soil thermometer at the
State College farm registering 80 de-
grees at depth OF six inches.
The refreshing effects of showers
and warmer weather are noted In pas
lures, meadows and grain fields.
Though growth of vegetation has
been retarded by cold nights, the sea-
son is still relatively early. The pas
tuers are forward, and foliage is we'll
advanced for the time of the year.
The general crop outlook is promis-
ing.

A HELP TO GOOD THINKING.
The Right Cigar Makes Right
Thoughts Come at the Right
Time.

There are good many men in
Cresco who never start out to buy
anything that may require little
bargaining without lighting cigar.
1t is fact that good cigar helps a
smoker to think and is often the
means of making good trade.
But the cigar has to be good one,
like Wadsworth Bros "Chicos,' a
cigar that smokes freely, with pleas
ant flavor, and whose ash does not COM
nit the objectionable sin of coming
off in little fecks.
Any one who wants help to good
thinking, should get a "Chico" from
2. A. Clemmer and see how it is pos
sible to sell for &c. a cigar that sequal
in quality to any lOc. cigar ever made.
Try one and see what an aid to
thought it is, as well as giving the
perfect enjoyment that comes from a
good smoke. 7-l7-28

ourtiss Tells Of Erin.

Prot. @. F. Cnrtiss, of the Iowa State
college at Ames, has returned to Iowa,
after an extensive trip through Mexico,
and the pedagogue has many interest
ing tales to tell Of his experiences The
professor declares that grain fed steers
IN the southern republic are as much OF
novelty as circus parade. He says
that Iowans. If favorable rates could be
secured, would do we'll to use Mexico as
their market. There is great demand
Tor granted beef. The Mexicans do
not seem to comprehend how steer
can be turned into such fine meat by
feeding 1t grain, and with the desire for
better meat comes an increased trade
with the states Of the union, a share OF
which Iowa should claim.

The method adopted was an old one.
Collection accounts were manipulated
to the extent OF 10 and in some instances
SO per cent, to make 1t appear that the
reserve fund was intact, and the
amount of the increased collection fund
was diverted to special stock opera
tons. The reserve maintained in east

books of the First National being fixed
so that the reserve appeared to be lar

dollars than it really was. These and
other methods were pursued by Bigelow
in looting The hank. In the classifying Of

State Farms Proeresgine.


John Cownie has returned from a trip
to many northern Iowa state farms, and
after reporting to the board he has COM
menced visit to all the southern farms
to see that the seasons work is well
started off. Mr.. Cown!e states that the
farmers Of each section are engaged in
contests to raise prize crops. The board
Of control has given the institution
heads to understand that their salaries
depend upon the amount Of the crop, and
consequently an intense rivalry has
arisen among the agriculturists. Last
year an enviable crop was raised and this
season even greater results are looked
for. AT Anamosa the best results of the
boards endeavors are seen. Here the
convicts are allowed to work in the
fields without guards, and score are
thus employed. On the trip north Mr..
Cownte spent day at each of the five In
stitutions, Davenport, Independence,
Yinton, Anamosa and Cherokee.

IN LETTER TO FOLK.
MISSOURI BILL is A COPY
Failure Of Iowa to Develop In Man
ufactures at Proper Gait Is Laid
to Interstate Toll, He
Saws,
Especial Correspondence

Des Moines, Ia, April Pin answer
to letter coming indirectly from Gov.
Folk Of Missouri, notifying him that the
house and senate had passed a maximum
railroad freight nate bill, Gov. Cummins
has written the Missouri executive, and
he warmly defends the railroad commits
sioners' schedule of this state, declaring
that the failure Of Iowa to develop in
manufactures in recent years as she
should have done is due not to the state
rates, but to the determinations which
Iowa has suffered in interstate rates
from the railroads. The governors let
ter was written in reply to one to him
from Representative Speer Of Missouri,
who vas the author of a bill establishing
by statute maximum freight rates in Mis-
souri,, which measure passed both
houses. In his letter to Gov. Cummins,
Mr.. sIser said that opponents of the
maximum freight rate bill in Missouri
were urging Gov. Folk to veto the meas
ure fer the reason that similar legisla-
ton In Iowa had affected her industries
adversely. Gov. Cummins informed
Gov. Folk that the Iowa legislature did
not pass bill fixing maximum rate,
but had authorized the state railroad
commission to do 1t, and that any move
ment looking to the repeal of the act
would be met with strong opposition.
And the governor is certain that the
rates which have been established under
the railroad commissioners act have
been Of great advantage to the jobbers
In Iowa. On this point there has been
no doubt. The establishment Of the
commissioners schedule has enabled
the shipper Of Iowa to compete with his
more important competitor in large
eastern centers like Chicago. Gov.
Cummins says that it is the discrimina-
ton In interstate rates which has led to
the demand on congress for legislation
empowering the interstate commerce
commission to fix railroad rates, the
principle which has been established In
Iowa and unQuestioned by the railroads
for IA years.
