4 BIG cIRoP YEAR.


Crop prospects in Iowa are good
With few exceptions the county week
lies of the state report corn of fair
stand and fourisfting growth. Some
complaint is made in sections over
poor prospects for the oats crop. but
IoWa.s staple, corn, is doing very well,
thank you, despite the unreasonable
ehilliness of nights and a lack of rain
in some parts The promise is for full
cribs and fat hogs and cattle
From other states the reports are
I hopefully gratifying. The present
prospect is that the Wheat crop of
/ 1906 will be greater than that of 1905.
The acreage in spring and winter
wheat is larger than it was last year,
tho the condition is, not quite SO good.
This is the prospect which is held out
by the department of agriculture.
Il In 1906 the wheat yield was $685.
crop ever harvested, except that of
1901, which was 74s,Oo0.000 bushels.
From the present indications the 1905
crop may go up to or above the T0O,-
900, 000-bushel mark. The farm value of
the wheat crop of 1906, ON December 1
Of that year, was put at $51S,000,000
by the secretary of agriculture. From
the recent average of prices the farm
ers ought to get about $530,00O,0O0 or
$40, 100000 for their crop in 1906.
From the data collected by Secretary
Wilson8it appears possible that the oat
and rye crop of 1906 wilt be somewhat
below that of 1905, while barley will
make an increase. AS an offset. how
ever, cotton and corn are likely to score
gains over last year.
Reports of good crop prospects are.
|good news for everyone. We all feed at
the same crib. A. big crop year is a
prosperous year, not only for the pro-
Queer, but for the consumer. The big
1crop may bring lower prices but it
adds the same balance to the bank
account while supplying the consumer
lat lower rate. Seasons of partial
failure are the SPECTATORS opportun-
lily. Give us the big crops.
lHEALTHY SENTIMENT AMONG BANKERS
The State Bankers Association had
la most excellent meeting at Cedar
RAPIDS this week. There. are over 1900
banks in Iowa, more than in any other
lone state in the union, and there are
d, 100 members of the association. When
they gather at their annual meeting
ialong with smooth representative
from everyone of the banks in the
commercial centers. the supply men,
etc, they constitute. notable assem-
Iblage.
The meeting this year was unusually
noteworthy for the excee dinghy healthy
Itone of public sentiment exhibited.

The siren whistle of the South Am
boy Terra Gotta Works Is very much
enjoyed by some of people. When
life becomes monotonous and one
has the blues in downright earnest,
that whistle is sure to bring a smile
and help change their thoughts into
a more cheerful vein. Why. to part
with that whistle now would be like
parting with the old sloop bell we
once listened to and which o Is a
thing of the past. Suppose we grum-
BLEED every time the weird fire alarm
whistle is heard over here whenever
there is a fire in Perth Amboy. Our
siren whistle is a king to that whistle,
and 1t Is musical, too. We don't

les sarcasm If a little child" does

MIR. TRIP.

Postmaster Roddy enjoyed one of
his daily rides yesterday with his
SON. In speaking of the trip he de-
clares that If all goes well we ought
to have a fine crop of blackberries
this year, as he says the vines are
loaded with blossoms and they look
ed lovely. AS he couldn't get any
blackberries he paid for some fine
looking strawberries at a farmers,
which were to be delivered at his and
his sons home, as he had no room to
spare in the wagon for them. "A
bird in the hand is worth two IN the
bush,' is an old saying and the say
ing applied to the berries, too, as he
had a good wait after he got home,
but at last spied the party who had
promised him the berries, coming in
the store. But alas! he was fooled,
ais they told him they had forgotten
all about him and had sold all of the
berries to other parties before they
reached his place. The next time Mr.
Roddy goes strawberrying he will
probably find room in the wagon TO
them.
