Des Moines. July 6.-Iowa's corn crop
will fall far short of last years stu
pendous yield fully S3,O00,000 bushels.
This is the prediction of George A.
Dealers association.
Mr. Wells today issued his monthly
crop report and gives the first estl-
mates of the year as to what Iowa's
fields will yield this fall.
He places the corn crop total, at $685.
005,941 bushels, as against 3Ss,34S,920
bushels, the total yield last year. AS II
that isn't bad enough, Secretary Wells
claims that the corn crop will be 49,
100000 bushels less now than 1t would
have been IL conditions had been fav-
orable from June !.
1.-The estimate which / submit today
Is based upon the supposition that the
crop from now on will be as favorable
for corn as it was from July l to the
end Of the season last year." said Mr.
Wells. an.
But altho every crop output this
season will be less than the magnificent
Iowa yields all along the line last year,
Mr.. Wells shows by his reports that
with the exception of corn and spring
wheat all of the crops are in a better
condition today than they were the
first of June. Winter wheat is especi
ally picking UP and the outlook now
is that 1t will be only 5000 bushels
short of last year.
oats and rye, barley and flax are
making decided gains. If they have
any chance with the weather man at
all they will make an average crop
even at this late day.
Secretary Wells reports are gathered
in from an experienced set of reporters
all over the state. Their returns show
that the much heralded green bug has
done little damage in Iowa despite the
claims of spectators.
In the southeastern section of the
state, in the counties of Keokuk, Wash
ington, Louisa, Wapello, Jefferson,
Henry, Des Moines, Davis, Van Buren,
and Lee, the report shows that the oats
have been damaged Is per cent by the
pests. There We're also slight indica-
tons of green bugs in the central dis
trict and south central district, but the
damage was infinitesimal.
The damage experienced in the CEN
trail division was from hail. But as
whole the reports show that low tenn
peratures were general all over Iowa
and all of Iowa's crops suffer as con-
sequence.
Mr.. Wells report created a sensation
among crop observers. Not only was
this due to the fact that it Is the frs.
estimate yet given out, but also to the
figures on wheat, which is just now
proving the center Of attraction in
board of trade circles.

high school grounds. where the old
pond was situated. This has been
thoroughly tiled out this season and
the bottom is level and composed Of
nearly foot of peat, which, it is said,
will make the finest kind of a race
track with very little grading. The
ground slopes from this point up the
hill toward the school house and af-
fords a site for a picturesque grove
and good spot for county fair build
ings.

KILL THIS BILL.

There is every reason why the bill
introduced by Senator Robbins re-
pealing the limited franchise act
should be defeated. No corporation
should be given perpetual right to
the use of the public streets, high
ways and bridges. 1t is not just for
the present generation to thus dis
pose of that to which posterity has
as much right as we have.
Twenty years is long enough for
any franchise to run. If company
having such a franchise serves the
public faithfully as 1t agrees to do,
there will be little difficulty in hav-
ing the franchise renewed.
Take our county bridge over the
Raritan river. who is there, as much
as a trolley across the structure Is
wanted who would dispose of the
right of way across it forever? There
is public bridge built at an enor-
nous expense to the taxpayers. No
part of it should pass from the abso-
Lutte control of the people. The right
to cross is valuable and that privilege
should be leased, say, for twenty
years and then renewed, if everything
has been satisfactory. but no COM
pany should ever have perpetual
rights so as to be in a position to
defy those whose money erected the
structure.
1t is no hardship on a corporation
to limit a franchise. 1t is done In
other states and the corporations
prosper. 1t can be done in New Jer-
esy. But such hog combines as the
Public Service Corporation will fight
it hard first

that the Public Service is back of the
