CROP
IOWA BULLETIN
just Issued for the Week Ending July
n, and Tells Of the condi.
tions in the state for
the Week.
THE Heavy RAINFALL
Corn Is In Good Condition on the up
lands During this Critical
Period for the Crop Of
this Grain.

The weather crop bulletin for Iowa
and for the southeast district. for the
week ending July IL, has just been
issued from Des Moines an is as fol-
lows:
The average temperature OF the
week was 5 to 6 degrees below nor
NAL ;the first half Of the week was UNI
usually cool, cloudy and wet, and the
latter half moderately warm, but with
considerable cloudiness and some rain.
The rainfall over the southern, CEN
trail and western districts was heavy
and In many localities, excessive; the
total amounts for the week ranged
from four to almost nine inches over
the southern and from two to i've
inches over the central and western
counties. This excessive precipitation,
falling on land already saturated with
moisture, has caused food stages in
all creeks and rivers within the area
of heavy rainfall. Bottom lands have
been flooded for the third time this
season and large acreage OF corn
has been lost. Very little If any work
could be done in the fields and as a
great deal of the corn is now too
large to pillow, much OF it will be laid
by without the third cultivation. The
rains have prevented haying, and in
the southern districts where the small
grain is ready for the harvester the
ground is too wet and soft to run
machinery. While the aggregate of
damage to crops in the flooded valleys
and on the flat lands is very heavy,
the percentage of total loss for the
whole state is not very large. The
precipitation was light and below nor
NAL in the northeastern counties and
all crops have continued to improve
in that section. Early planted corn
on uplands In all parts Of the state is
In good condition and growing rapidly.
Small grain over the larger part of the
State is reported to be doing well, but
dry weather is at once needed for
harvesting and haying. This is very
critical period in the crop situation
and the final returns of the harvest
depend largely on the weather condi-
tons during the next wee or ten days.

REGULARITY OF VISION.
How You Can Find the Blind Spot In
the Eye.

Make a small black circular dot
1k-inch in diameter on piece Of card
board and about 3 inches from the cen
ter OF this dot draw a star. Hold the
cardboard so that the star will be d.
rectly In front of one eye. while the
dot will be in front of the other. II
the star is in front of the left eye.
close the right eye and look steadily
at the star while you move the card
board until the point is reached where
the dot disappears. This will prove
the presence of a blind spot in per
sons eye. The other eye can be Civ
en- the same experiment by turning
the cardboard end for end. The blind
spot does not indicate diseased eyes,
but it simply marks the point where
the optic nerve enters the eyeball
which point Is not provided with the
necessary visual end organs OF the
sight, known as rods and cones.

road Mlthstands ereat Pressure.

An experiment bordering close to
the wonderful was recently made in
the clay testing department of a ma
chinery company at Bucyrus, Ohio. in
which toad was placed in Cotton
brick press and was four times sub
jected to a pressure Of 1900 pounds
without injury.
The question at issue was whether
such a pressure would kiln the toad or
whether its ability to compress itself
was suficient to allow 1t to come out
OF the ordeal alive. The toad was first
placed in a lump of granulous clay and
the whole pressed into brick. After
the huge press had done its work the
solid brick was lifted from the ma
chine and the toad winked its eye con
tentedly. stretched its legs and hoped

"Iha War Over. /"

The Messenger does not understand
that IL Is the intention of the committee
to laud Gen. Bennett H. Young as q hero
or to Iionize him in any sense. He Is to
be the orator OF the day because be is one
OF the most conspicuous and interesting
characters identified with the history Of
st. Adams and because he is known to be
q man of culture and achievement in civil
life since the war. His visit to 81. Al
bans at this time, the committee thought,
would not be the triumph" of 3 return
! ing conquerer, but simply q pleasant oe-
casion Signalling anew the fact that aft
er forty -ave years OF memories ''the war
is over.''
The contemporary evidently has not
read the text of the commission and let
tiers OF authority frOm the Confederate
States government under which the then
Lieutenant Young executed the raid on
st. Adams which ere published in full
by the committee in The Messenger Mon

Young 3 80 far recognized by the Con-
federnte veterans as an ex-soldier and q
oomrade that they have made him the de-
partment commander Of their orgnniza-
tion in the state Of kentucky.
II Is easy to understand how there may
be individual differences of opinion as to
the desirability OF inviting General
Young on this occasion, bat il is too manE
years after the event to let Ignorance Of
history be responsible for any such differ
ence. Whatever may be said one way Of

COL. YOUNG'S VISIT


The first decided opposition to the ac-
tion OF Gov. George II. Prouty and Mayor
Warren r. Austin of St. Adams in invit-
iug Col. Bennett Young Of Louisville,
KY, who led the st. Adams raid in the
Civil war, to e-the guest OF honor dur
ing the city's celebration OF the Lake
Champlain Tercentenary, crystaliized last
week in q strongly worded set of resolu-
tions OF protest adopted by Roberts post,
No. IA, Grand Army of the Republic, of
Rutland. The stand taken by this post,
it is expected, will precipitate q contro-
versy throughout the state which has
been smouldering since the invitation
was announced aud which may prove I'M
pleasant to Col. Young. The resolutions
follow
"Whereas, It has been reported In vari-
Gus newspapers OF the state that the gov
ernor OF Vermont and the mayor of st.
Adams have invited one Bennett Young,
who, by his infamous raid on the village
OF st. AIbans in October, 1854, spread
devastation in his track and terror
throughout the stpte. to be present ut the
celebration OF the Precautionary OF the dis
covery Of Lake Champlain, as guest Of
honor.
ssTherefore, Resolved, that we. sur
wing soldiers OF the CiNh war. VINO
served honorably in the Unicn armies
and fought men with arms in their
hands, most earnestly protest against a
public Offering of hospitality to one who
planned and executed the st. Adams
raid;' thereby honoring the leader Of q
band Of guerillas aud condoning the vile
offenses Of his incendiary crew. These
raiders and murderers are not entitled to
the consideration usually accorded to reg
ular soldiers, orthose engaged in legiti.

the st. Adams raid, to be the guest OF
that city and Of the state of Vermont dur
ing the Champlsin precautionary celebra-
ton.
The letter follows:

similar invitation been extended to q reg

I feel that there is something due to tho
patriotic sentiment Of Vermont, not oniy
to the veteran soldiers and their families
but to the people generally, who are nc
less patriotic, although perhaps not quite
so sensitive or appreciative a. the old vet
Grams something other and different and
more in accord with the real sentiment o.
our people than this proposed outrageous
performance.
