Des Moines, Iowa, June 26, 1910. =
Another week of ioeal corn weather
has caused decided improvement in
the condition of that crop. The plants
have made an abnormally rapid growth;
the fields were never clearner at this
time of the year and the soil is in the
best physical condition to withstand
the effects of dry weather Some of
the early planted corn, in southern
counties is "knee high" and will be
laid by during the coming week. The
average temperature was about 8 de-
grees above the normal, and the maxi
mum temperatures were above 80 de-
grees every day of the week. There
was also an excessive amount of sun
shine but the rainfall was much below
the normal. In fact the precipitation
was practically nil ov's.r large part of
the state There wesa, however, light
and widely scattered showers over the
central counties during the last three
days which will be of great benefit in
the localities where they occurred. All
grains are doing remarkably we'll but
will soon need rain. Pasturage and
early potatoes are showing the effect
of the drouthy conditions more than
any other crops. Clover hay harvest
has begun and some timothy has been
cut in southern counties and the re-
ports indicate fairly good yield of the
former, but the latter crop will be
light in all parts of the state.

OBITUARY..
IRVINE.

Ernest Preston Irvine was born neal
Lime Springs, Iowa, November Goth
1879; where he lived with his parents
until he was eighteen years of age
Al this time he went to Decorah, Iowa
to attend the Valdez business collee {
where he spent NO winters.
In the fall of 1901 he went to Grin.
nell, Iowa, where he attended Iowa
college. During his three and half
years in college he did good, faithful
work and won the confidence and love
of his professors and fellow students;
as the many letters and little acts of
thought and kindness proved during
his months of suffering.
At the close of the first semester
1906, he left Grinnell and went into a
commercial college in Des Moines, both
as instructor and student. In few
months good position was opened to
him in the Valley City National bank
of that city, which he thought best to
leave college and accept. During his
stay in Des Moines he was much inter
ested in settlement work, being librar-
ian and having charge of the gymna-
SUM evenings after his days work, in
Roadside House, a charitable institu-
tion While he was here he united with
the First Presby ytarian church on Eas-
ter Sunday, 1907.
In May 1907, he left his home in
Des Moines to accept position in the
First National bank of Kensal, N D.,
and in August, 1908, went to the First +,
National bank of Everett, Wash. This
position he resigned Nov. 1st, 1909,
much to the regret of his employers,
and went at once to Clifton, Arizona, |
to join his sister in fight for his life.
Since that time he has been great
sufferer and grew steadily worse, and
as the hot season advanced his sisters
brought him north to his brothers.
home in Cresco, where he passed away
Tuesday morning, June 29th. 1910.
While he was anxious to live, as the
inevitable approached he was very much
resigned and his great thought was for
his dear ones and to make them as lit
tie trouble as possible.
He leaves to mourn his death, Mrs.
F. NJ. Stevens Of Lime Springs, Iowa,
Eugene Irvine and May Fl. Irvine of
Cresco, Iowa, besides host of other
relatives and friends.
Funeral services conducted by Rev.
