BAD WEEK FOR CROPS
Haying and Cultivation Re
tarded by Excess OF Rain in
Many Sections
HAY QUALITY IN DOUBT
Yield Will Be Large But Conditions
Uncertain as to Quality - Rust Re-

Points Above Last Years Average

HAY QUALITY IN DOUBT
Special to Times Republican.

Des Moines, July 1.-THE weekly
weather and crop bulletin says:
The temperature and the amount OF
sunshine were considerably below the
normal In all parts of the state. The
weather was cool and cloudy up to Sat
urday, but the last two days were sea-
sonably warm, with an average amount
of sunshine. Showers were frequent and
fairly well distributed. but the rainfall
was below the normal except over the
east central west central, and portions
of the central districts.
Corn has made satisfactory growth,
notwithstanding the adverse conditions.
but the frequent showers have prevent
ed the cultivation of fields on low
lands and interrupted the work on high
land. The showery conditions have also
delayed the hay harvest and caused
considerable Damage to clover which
had been cut. The yield of hay will be
exceptionally large, but the quality Will
depend on future weather conditions.
Small grain has made good growth OF
straw, and now needs warm. dry
weather to mature properly.
The reports of rust in oats are in-
creasing, but for the state at large the
condition of small grain gives promise
Of good yields. The condition of pota-
toes and garden truck remains about
the same as previously reported.
Following is a summary of reports
from crop correspondents, showing the
condition of the staple crops on July l.
as compared with the average condi-
tion, on that date. in past years:
Corn, IS per cent: winter wheat, 49,:
spring wheat, "a; oats, 80; rye, 80; bar

Webster City, July "A report has
reached here on authority deemed re-
liable. but which cannot at this time
be disclosed, that the Minneapolis,
Kansas City & Gulf Railway Com
pany is going to build steam rail-
road from Minneapolis to Des
Moines in the near future. It 10 al
so said that the road will run thru
Clarion and Hamilton county, and that
either Clarion or Webster City will be
made division point. 1t Is said this
is one of the reasons for the Illinois
Central Railroad Company raising its
track and the bridge crossing Boone
river. The new line will pass under
the Central road Our informant says
the right way has already been Sc
cured for much of the road and that
several surveys have been made.
About a year ago the Minneapolis
Tribune contained an article concern
ing this company and said 1T would
build an electric line to the Gulf of
Mexico before many years. That pro-
Ject has been given up. The route pub
lisfed in the Tribune at that time took
the road thru Williams, Jewell and
Randall and possibly Kamrar, with
spur built to Webster City. 1t is now
claimed that the little financial furry
of last fall delayed the work of con-
etruction, but that at present there
will be little difficulty in securing the
necessary money to build steam road
i from Minneapolis to Des Moines. The
proposed road is backed by some of
the leading capitalists Of Minneapolis
and our informant tells us that they
mean business. They are eager to
build such a line because they believe
the territory embraced will furnish
much business and make the road pay

Mason City, July trails are now
laid on the st. Paul & Des Moines rail-
way as far as the grade Is constructed.
This brings the parallel ribbons of
steel within 200 yards Of the Great
Western interurban crossing, directly
in front of the Iowa Odd Fellows Or
phans' home. and within half mile of
the city. The eighty pound rails are
laid on heavy oak ties. The work train
is now busted with the ballasting Of
the line from Sheffield north to this

Indications are that the new line will,
as rumored, lease the ,trackage Of the
Great Western from the present end
Of their line to the Milwaukee crossing,
where they can connect with the latter
road, using its terminal facilities in
this city From present prospects, reg
ular traffic should be possible over the
new line by the first of August, and
perhaps at an earlier date.

Minneapolis, July George M. lie
Count, the Finley Darrell crop expert
has sent the following from Spencer.
Iowa:
",Ehe winter wheat crop OF 1908 Is
about safe, and there is small proba-
bility that there will be any further
active damage. think the new crop
will equal that Of last year. In eastern
part of the state there are more low
spots, where the crop is ruined, than
any other part of the state, but it is
largely corn there and, of course, 1t
will not greatly effect the general re-
suits Of the wheat crop. In the vicinity
Of Hastings, Neb., where the acreage
is large, the crop is in almost perfec.
condition and the quality fine. In re-
gard to movement of the new crop, I
can see no reason why the shipment
should vary much from the receipts OF
other years, as the farmers with heavy
acreages will not have granary room
for all their crop and in general con-
sequence will be obliged to haul a
large portion Of their crop direct from
thresher to elevator.
"AnOther point to be considered is
