Weather-Cro p-BuIIetin
For week ending June II, 1906.

Des Moines, Iowa.
The daily average temperature of the
week was to 5 degrees above the nor
NAL. The rainfall was uneaually
distributed, being deficient in about
three-fourths of the state, and much in
excess of normal in portions of the
Northeast aud South Central districts.
Unusually high winds were prevalent
during the latter part of the week,
causing rapid evaporation of moisture
on the surface, and creating apprehen-
sion of damage to hay, oats, wheat and
barley in the driest sections. The con-
ditions have been generally favorable
for the corn crop, which has been
thoroughly cultivated and is making
excellent progress. Numerous reports
Indicate some detriment to oats and
the hay crop from effects of dry
weather and high winds, but as yet
the conditions are not serions. In some
of the counties of the northern section
oats, wheat and barley have made rank
growth, and the hay crop will be heavy
where the rainfall was about normal.
Potatoes and garden truck are doing
we'll. The pastures are generally
affording ample supply Of feed for
stock.
Following is partial summary of
reports OF county and township CORE
spondents, giving estimates of condi-.
ton of crops June 1st: Corn, 80 per
cent; wheat, SO; oats, 06; barley, 90;
rye, 81; flax, Ga; potatoes, 1G1; tame
hay, 81; pastures, 95.

New Dairy Laws In Effect Soon

Half a dozen new dairy, milk, crea m
and creameries laws go into effect on
July and after that date the State
Dairy commissioner will have almost
absolute power over the milk industry
and all that pertains to it.
One of the principal new laws is that
giving the commissioner or his deputy
authority to go into any building or car
and open and examine any can or other
utensil he desires. The penalty for
refusing to allow such an examination
is 500 fine or thirty days in Jail for
each offence.
Another important law is that plac-
ing the same legal restrictions on
cream and the handling of cream that
is already thrown about milk and it's
handling. Heretofore many of the
statutes applied to milk only.

"1n my judgment" says Henry Wal
lace, editor of Wallace's Farmer, "the
farmers of Iowa have more to fear from
the attempt to silence the voices of the
Republicans who are speaking against,
our tariff evils than they have from en-
couraging these men and bringing
about the changes needed in the tariff
to protect the interests of the farmer
and stockman"

the warrants to issue in behalf of the
