Planting and Growth Retarded b.
Low Temperatures.
The weekly summary of crop condi-
fions issued by the weather bureau is as
follows:
In nearly all districts east of the
Rocky Mountains the week ending April
"A averaged decidedly cool, and was I'M
favorable for termination and growth,
damaging frosts occurring as far south
as the northern portions of the east gulf
States on the 18th. Rains interrupted
work in northern Indiana, while drought
IS becoming serious in central and east
ern Missouri and rain is needed in Mon
tana and the Dakotas.
Rather slow progress with corn plant
ing was made, except in Missouri and
Kansas, where this work advanced sat
lsfactorily. Preparations for planting
have been actively carried on in Ne
braska, Iowa and Illinois, but no plant
ing has been done in these States, except
In southern Illinois, and further east none
has been planted northward of the Ohio
river with the exception of a little in
Ohio. The cool weather has proved in
furious to corn in the South. much hav-
Ing been killed in the South Atlantic
and East Gulf States by the frost of the
18th.
While the growth of winter wheat has
not been rapid, owing to the absence of
warmth, the condition of this crop con-
tinues promising in all districts.
Spring wheat seeding is now well adj
vanced in the northern portion of the
spring wheat region and is practically
finished in the central and southern por-
TONS termination and growth of early
sown have been very slow. and some in
jury has resulted from freezing in South
Dakota and Nebraska. In Colorado, Utah
and on the North Pacific States spring
wheat is coming up and growing nicely.
Oats also need warm weather to pro-
mote growth, which has been generally
slow, but on the whole the outlook for
this crop is favorable. Some damage by
freezing is reported from South Dakota
and Nebraska. Seeding is well advanc-
ed in the more northerly sections, except
In the northern portion of the middle At
lantic States and in New England. where
slow progress has been made
Cotton planting has been active, under
favorable conditions, over most of the
cotton belt, but was delayed by rains in
oklahoma and Indian territories, Arkan
sas and northern Texas. The frost of
the 18th killed much cotton in portions of
Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas.
Chopping has begun in southern Texas
and portions of the eastern districts and
cultivation in southern Georgia
Fruit prospects have been further less
ened during The past week throughout
the Ohio valley, east gulf States and on
the Atlantic coast south of New Eug
land, peaches suffering most In the
States of the upper Missouri valley and
in the lake region and New England the
fruit outlook is more promising.

Grover Cleveland Sees in Them Serious
Harm to the Home.
What blessed thing it would be if
every mother, and every woman, could
realize the everlasting truth that the
hand that rocks the cradle is the hand
that rules the world" says Grover
Cleveland, in the Ladies' Home Journals
current number, sternly arraigning a GER
tain kind of woman's clubs, whose objects
and intents, he declared, are not only
harmful, but harmful in way that men,
aces American homes.
The ex-President sees in the trend of
woman's clubs a discomfort with home
life, with motherhood, and all of their
consequent labors and sacrifices. He says
it appears in the movement to secure to
women the right to vote, and otherwise
participate in public affairs. Mr.. Cleve-
land says:
LET it here be distinctly understood
that no sensible man has fears of injury
to the country on account of such partici-
patton. 1t is its dangerous, undermining
effect ON the characters of tine wives and
mothers of our land that we fear. At a
recent meeting of these radicals high
priestess of the faith declared: NO mat
ter how bad the crime a woman commits,
if she can't vote, and is classed with
idiots and criminals and lunatics, she
should not be punished by the same laws
as those who vote obey
at is a thousand pities that all the
wives found in such company cannot
sufficiently open their minds to see the
complete fitness of the homely definition
which describes good wife as "a woman
who loves her husband and her country
with no desire to ruin either.'"

BABIES SLAUGHTERED.
Adulterated Foods Killed Nearly q
Half Million Last Year.


Are food adulterators responsible for
the death in this country last year of
nearly half million babies? That is
the all important question which was
brought prominently to the front at the
recent meeting in Chicago of the execu-
tive committee of the National Associa-
ton of State Dairy and Food Depart
ments. The assertion of the enormous
fatality among infants last year resulting
from impure food was made by J. N.
Hurry, secretary Of the Indiana State
Board of Health. Mr.. Hurry produced
figures to show that 90 per cent of the
total deaths of infants in America last
year was due to poisons administered in
impure foods and the deadly connections
placed On the market by fraudulent food
manufacturers. He produced statistics
to show that more than 100000 infants
died in the United States last year. In
speaking on the subject Mr.. Pierce of
Chicago said:
IF Mr.. Hurty's figures are correct,
and believe they are, an army of 49,
600 infants was murdered last year by
food authorizations. They were poisoned
by infant foods and dyes and chemicals
contained in the diet their mothers have
fed them in an effort to appease their ap-
petites, 10 satisfy their natural desires
for nourishment and rear them health
fully to maturity.
"When such conditions are harassing
our land, when these baby killing food
adulterators are permitted to blight our
homes, feeding on the lives of our chill
dren to fatten their purses. is it not time
that pure food workers regarded some
other subject of greater import than
whisky, to the adulteration of which they
have lately devoted most of their in
Quiries?"
