Weather-Crop Bulletin
For week ending June II, 1910

For week ending June II, 1907
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week opened with cool, wet and
cloudy weather, and excessive moisture
in the fields in the larger part of the
state. But the skies were quickly
cleared, with rising temperature and
normal sunshine, and in the latter
half of the week conditions were gener-
ally favorable for field work and the
growth of all crops. Reports indicate
that fair progress has been made in
cleaning out the weedy corn fields, and
the plants are showing bet er color
and the good effects of sunshine and
warmth. The week was very favorable
for grass and small grain. The pastures
are especially good, and the meadows
give promise of better hay crop than
seemed possible few weeks ago,
though the average yield will be ma
terially short in comparison with recent
years. Potatoes and gardens are doing
notably we'll.
Secretary Greene reports that the
general condition of fruit in Iowa is "a
per cent below the estimate made in
June last year, and apples cannot ex-
coed half crop.

John w. WATSON, of Hereford, Texas,
came over from Leon last week and
spent some days visiting with his rela-
tives in this vicinity and with his
mother at Allerton. He has bought
residence property at Hereford and is
taking back with him his household
goods from Leon and his farm imple-
ments and machinery from his farm over
in Morgan, preparatory to making his
permanent home at Herford and improv-
ing his large tract of land adjoining
that place. We wish them every success
but to us the impulse that prompts
them to leave their luXuriant and finely
improved farm in Decatur county for
any spot of ground the sun shines on in
Texas, is unaccountable.-Line

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-11-02

Speaking of the recent furry at
 New York and the shortage of the coin of the realm, a Washington writer says. that the proposal for a more elastic currency as famed at the last session of congress was to allow the banks that needed it to issue ad- ditional note circulation up to q large percentage of their capital stock. This note circulation was to be taxed rather heavily so that when the banks had no actual need of it they would be glad to retire it and thus escape the tax. But when real money was wanted. as it was in New York re cently, the banks would have been only too thankful to pay any reason- able tax on it if they could have got ten it. The principal reason that no action has been taken on currency in the past has been that it was so easy to put it off. But the recent sharp lesson is apt to make the legislators get busy.

It is now evident that the epidemic of st-busting in the department of justice is mere dust and feathers. The Washington Post adducos the following facts illustrating the situa- ton: With all the presidents threats and activities, there are many more trusts in existence than when he be- gan his campaign against them. He had a special fund of half 2 million to work with, and he has collected an approximately equal amount in fines. Just two undesirable citizens have gone to jail under federal laws, and the good done has been largely offset by the practical whitewasNing of the biggest fish in the net.
