three hours.

not be successfully raised in

mistaken. H. L. Aldrich, has

bushels of the finest ever seen
in this section. His orchard has
not failed for years.

Weather-crop Bulletin
Des Moines. Aug. 13. 'Of

Des Moines. Aug. IL, 'O6-
The average temperature for
the past week was Slightly
above the normal in the east
ern half of the state, and
slightly below in the western
districts. The rainfall was UNI
equally distributed, as usual at
this time of the year, but all
parts Of the state received
some benefit from the snowery
weather that prevailed the first
half of the week. The heavi-
estshowers were reported from
stations in the Northwest,
North Central and East Cen
trail districts. In the North
west district the heavy rains
retarded the wheat harvest,
and continued wet and cloudy
weather caused grain in shocks
to sprout. In limited areas
considerable damage TO spring
wheat and oats resulted from
the unfavorable local condi-
tions. For the state at large,
the copious rains for the week
have been of inestimable value.
The corn crop has been re-
lieved at its most critical stage;
pastures show marked improve
ment, and late potatoes give
promise of an ample yield. In
portions of the southern sec
ton more rain is desired within
a few days, but in the central
and northern sections there is
an ample supply of moisture to
bring all crops to maturity.

There is no other merchan=
disc under the sun on which
so many people get fooled and
Oh which it is as easy to fool
people as on steel ranges.
The PeninSular has stood the
longest test of any range be-
ing sold by any of the dealers
in Mo. Valley. There is not
a dealer in the city but what
has passed up their would=be
better ranges and tried to
find but failed to get a range
that could put the PeninSulaf
out of business, and yet we
still sell the Peninsular range.
