this year, II we are to have normal
conditions and normal crops. We hop
ed in February that the excess Of pre-
cipitation over our entire territory
would continue into March and thus
slowly we should have the shortage OF
last year made up. The government
report issued April 3 and giving condi-
lions up to March 81, however, shows
that there has been as marked def
cheney in the precipitation as there
was marked excess during February.
Speaking more particularly Of the
sections in which the majority Of oul
farmer readers are interested, we may
note that in the entire lake region
there was deficiency of from one
fourth to two and one-f fourth inches In
every station in that region, reaching
from Rochester, N. z, to Duluth, MINI.
except at Duluth, where there was ar
excess Of one tenth Of an inch.
Every station in the upper Missis-
sippi valley. and in the Missouri val
ley, taking in Minnesota, western Wis
consin. all OF Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska, report a deficiency OF
from one-tenth Of an inch to three, ahd
one-fourth inches. The same Is true Of
all the northern portion of the Rocky
mountain region, comprising Montana
South Dakota, eastern Washington
aud Oregon. Nevada, Utah, Wyoming
and Colorado.
II this should continue thru the
month Of April, or II the rainfall should
be even normal, we can not expect 9
heavy hay crop unless there should bt
an excess in the early part Of May. Oul
reports from other sources in most Of
our territory indicate that while there
Is enough moisture to terminate the
spring grains and to start the grass
the wells are lower. the cisterns more
than empty and the springs more near.
ly dry than they have been in a grea,
many years.
Some farmers report that about
eighteen inches below the surface there
is stratum OF very dry earth. Where
this is true. It Is more importan,
matter than many may think: for we
can not utilize the water in the lower
depths unless we have rain enough tc
penetrate thru this stratum, and thu.

take the combined influence Of the
state administration and Young's
newspaper to defeat Kenyon for a re-

Of statecraft has been done and well

that, in the nature Of our urban ana
suburban life, chores are disappearing
and how are we going to bring up tho
boys without them? Formerly, when
there were big lawns to NOV and wood
to split, gardens to weed, horses to
groom. and cows to drive. the boy had
a place in the domestic cosmos which
ne felt to be real; but II we invent
chores, he knows 1t, and declines TO
take them seriously.
Work for the youngsters Is one OF
the matters of this life IN which there

BACK TO IOWA.


But there is a back to the soil move
ment. that is beginning to become ap-
parent here in Iowa. It means a return
to the soil Of Iowa, by the people who
have wandered away to distant points.
Some were lured by the tales OF mar
velous. absolutely perfect climate.
Others listened to the siren song Of the
land agent, who was going to make
them rich over night. And others were
seeking land where there would be
no taxes. and they found that it was a
land all Of outgo. and If they remained
long enough they would have nothing
taxable. And they are beginning to
discover that. tho they roam over the
whole habitable globe, they Will ind no
other land like Iowa. There Is nothing
to compare with It anywhere in the
world. Some are broke, and some are
too proud to come back, and some have
lost ambition and have almost lost
hope. They are not coming back. But
from many counties Of the state, there
comes reports Of former 1owans, who
had cast their lot in other states. re-
turning to their own state, the best
state Of all. And that movement is
growing. and ere long they Will be COM
ing back in considerable numbers, and
so the problem Of the population OF
Iowa will solve itself in the most rea-
sonable and most satisfactory manner
