Des Moines, June 23-The weekly
crop bulletin, issued by Director
George NJ. Chapel for the week end
ing today, says:
The average temperature and sun
shine were below the normal, but the
deficiency in tempei/ture occurred
during the first two days of the week.
The last five days were warm. with the
temperature from two to five degrees
above the seasonable average. The
rainfall was below the normal over the
eastern, and above over the western
half of the state. Showers were fire.

the middle of the week, over the north
central and portions of the northwest.
west central and southwest districts.
All fiat and bottom lands in the area
of heavy rainfall were again flooded,
causing the abandonment of many
fields of corn. A large acreage has
also been abandoned in southern ana
southeastern counties, due to the pre-
vious heavy rains and the continued
high stage of the river.
A loss during the week of 40 per cent
in the general condition of crops is re-
ported from Pocahontas county, where
the rainfall was from four to over five
inches. On upiands, and over the east
ern counties, corn is generally in good
condition, and altho little shorter
than usual at this season of the year, is
making very good growth.
Except in the flooded districts small
grain is doing well, but the conditions
are such that If the warm, sultry wea-
Their continues. rust will develop very
rapidly. Considerable clover has been
cut, but, owing to the high percentage
of humidity and the excessive moisture
in the plants, it is curing very slowly,

Illinois Central Report.


Waterloo, June 23-The Illinois Gems
trail crop report, which is gathered
weekly from Iowa, southern Minnesota
and western Illinois, shows that the
past week has been good one for
corn and small grains. The general
average for the corn acreage this year
is about 80 per cent OF the normal
acreage, while the corn condition is 80
per cent in Iowa the acreage is larg-
er and the condition better. In the
three states, oats show 80 per cent
of the normal acreage, and the condt-
ton of that acreage is 100 per cent.
Another encouraging feature of the re-
port is that the meadows never looked
better and that the hay crop will be
a bumper one.
"A general report received at dlv1-
sion headquarters shows that the out
look for big crop, both Of corn and
Of the small grains, is excellent. The
report continues with the statement
that corn planted ten days ago looks
fine, stands good and is growing fast.
All crops are in a satisfactory con-
dition.
The report which comes from Carr
VILE, Nashua and the surrounding
country shows that the corn is prac-
tically all planted and that it stands
good, tho its condition Is a little he
low normal, while the outlook for oats
is excellent.
The best Iowa report comes from
the country in the vicinity of Water
loo, where it is stated that the corn
acreage is ITO per cent. while the con-
dition of the corn looks 80 per cent,
which is good showing considering
the weather Wheat and oats show

MANUFACTURERS BLIND.
They Still Have a Notion That Ship
Subsidy Will Help Trade.

That the manufacturers of the cOun-
try are waking up to the necessity of
foreign markets for their products is
evident from the action recently taken
by the National Manufacturers asso-
citation in convention at New York and
the American Cotton Manufacturers
association at Richmond. The manu-
facturers favor a decided reduction Of
tariff duties. They begin to see that
we must import a few more goods if
we would largely increase our exports.
We can't sell without buying, and we
must have cheaper raw materials.
They have touched solid bottom here.
But in the matter of ship subsidies
they seem to be foundering in the
quagnire of economic fallacy and SUI
perstition.
The New York convention went on
record as favoring the "little subsidy"
scheme tackled on as an amendment of
the postoftice appropriation bill. The
idea was also given prominence by the
cotton manufacturers at Richmond.
Their president is quoted as saying,
ut is idle to think of our getting for
eign trade without having transporter
ton facilities under our own flag"
The nonsense wrapped up in such
statement may be partially appreciated
when we consider that in the year end
ing with June, 1907, we sent abroad
merchandise worth more than one and
one-half billion dollars, less than one
tenth of which was sent under our
own flag" The foreign bottoms would
cheerfully have carried more of our
goods if we had given them the
chance at the lowest competitive rates.
The idea that a nation cannot get for
elgn trade except under its own flag
is also absurd from theoretical stand
point. A trade involves two parties.
If It Is carried on under the flag of one
nation the other is trading no less than
the first. The carrier may belong to
one nationality or to the other or to
neither, but trade may go on and be
profitable to both.
There are good reasons why we
should try to build up merchant ma
rine, but not because we cannot get
trade without it, and of all the meth
DDS suggested the subsidy is the least
effective or defensible. 1t is fortunate
that the house has refused to stand for
this mail subvention scheme tackled
on by the senate rs the entering wedge
for larger subsidy gifts in the future.
