was left to the college by the late e.
S. Ellsworth. the intention being to
create an endowment for the college
when the land could be disposed Of for
$250,00o. In addition, lands amounting
to $1O0,0 more, were left by Mr.. Ellis
worth to be used for the endowment
fund The board claims that under
Chapter "a, Section 80 Of the Thirty
second general assembly, these lands
and others in other counties of the
state are exempt from taxation. The
taxes on the Emmett county land
amount to $1,000 annually The lands
in question are to be held until they
are worth or can be sold for $3.50, 900.
In his will. Mr.. Ellsworth designated
what each tract of land should bring
before it was sold, and the proceeds
turned into the endowment fund. The
prices range from $50 to 500 per acre.
The first $4,000 realized from the sale
of any of these lands is to be turned
over by the trustees for the purpose
of erecting a home for the aged in this
city, a site for which Mr.. Ellsworth

Nights Responsible for Slump in
Corn Conditions.
snec,a, 10 UNDERSTANDINGS.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept 12.-Steady de-
clines in all of Iowa's staple crops were
shown yesterday in the monthly report
of George A. Wells. secretary OF the
Iowa Grain Dealers Association.
Mr.. Wells figures are far from pc
ing calculated to throw the crop pro-
ducer into ecstacies. But they are re-
garded among crop observers as
strictly reliable. SO lowans must
swallow their pride, for this year at
least. and make up their minds to
abide by actual conditions.
Each month this summer Iowas
crop outlook has grown a trihe worse
than that Of the preceding month. To-
day Mr.. Wells estimates the total corn
crop as 2s1, 163,064 bushels, or IS per
cent Of last years record breaking
yield.
But that isn't the worst of 1t. Be-
cause, according to the crop reporters
who send figures to Mr.. Wells, the
corn crop today is l4,Ooueuo pusnels
worse off than it was August !. The
rainy days and cool nights are held
responsible for the decline.
Mr.. Wells estimate is not far from
that of J. r. Sage of the Iowa crop
bureau. While Mr.. Sage has not given
out any public statement he has
made the declaration that his crop re-
porters over Iowa indicate Il corn yield
of about rs per cent.
But 1t is the oat crop that
tire yields. This crop, Mr. Wells
says, will be only about So per cent
of last year. The oats figures are
based upon the reports from thresh-
ing centers and are approximately
accurate The total crop will be co.
235.000 bushels. This is 9. falling off
of 12,000.000 bushels since August
i. 1t is based upon an average yield
per acre of twenty-fo four bushels.
