Weather NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 25.--A
heavy rain Friday with the prospect
OF a soggy playing field today, caus-
ed a distinct feeling Of uncertainty in
both camps Friday as to the outcome
Of the Harvard Yale football battle.
Gloom prevailed among the followers
OF the game here, while the players
and coaches Of the rival teams dis
played little confidence.
In the event Of rain, Yale may ask
for an agreement that q new ball be
put in play upon the call of either
captain. This would render field
goals less difficult than with a heavy
water soaked ball. An agreement to
disregard field goals made by bound
ing balls. like that which gave
Princeton a victory over Dartmouth
two weeks ago, is also probable.

Des Moines, July 25.-The Weather
Crop Bulletin for the week endlns
July %, 1911:
The average temperature for the
week was below normal for the flrst
time since the first week in May; the
average daily deficiency for the past
week being about degrees. A few
generally light end scattered showers,
occurred on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday, but over the larger part OF the
state the rainfall was practically NIL
until Saturday night or Sunday morn
ing when fairly copious and well-dis-
tributed showers occurred. Cool
nights, partially cloudy, weather and
absence of hot winds have enabled
corn to hold it's own remarkably well
considering the small amount of moist
ure in the soil. Over the southern
and parts of the central and northern
districts corn has suffered some dam
age, but the crop as whole Is doing
as well. if not better, than could be
expected under the circumstances, and
with favorable weather in the future
will make fair yield. The small
grain harvest is practically completed
and thrashing is progressing rapidly
under favorable weather conditions,
REPORTS show wide range In the
yield of grain Oats range from ten
to fifty bushels per acre; winter wheat
eight to thirty; spring wheat. eight to
sixteen; barley, ten to twenty-five and
timothy seed from two to four bushels.
The drought has seriously affected
fruit Apples, grapes and plums are
small and apples are falling badly.
The worst effect of the drought, how
ever. is on pastures and the water
supply. Pastures are bare and much
stock is being fed green corn or hay,
and stock water Is getting scarce.
