1t is estimated that something like
four hundred million dollars are ex-

inconsiderable sum to pay out. But

Director George M. Chapel Of the
weather bureau, in his bulletin this
week says the long drought has seri-
ously affected the corn crop, and the
yield will be from 10 to 20 per cent
less than was expected during the
first part of August. The general rains
over the state came too late, he holds,
to benefit the early corn and will not
be of any advantage to the late corn
unless warm, dry weather prevails un-

The governments crop report shows
that August heat and drought has re-
iduced the crop promise considerably.
In Iowa, however, in spite Of the, loss
to corn from drought, the government
estimates crop that will exceed the
1908 and 1907 yields. AS long as the
crop is still above the average there
is no need for pessimisrn, Just because
the wonderful promises of midsummer
are. not to be fulfilled.

can be held back to irrigate 1000
acres, figuring an inch to the acre.
The same can be accomplished on

projects. however, have reported that
half inch to the acre is all the water
