Weather Crop Bulletin.
Des Msines, Iowa, Aug. 25, 1912.

Des Msines, Iowa, Aug. 25, 1912.
The weather conditions were much
more favorable during the past week
than they were during the proceeding
two weeks. The temperature was
above the normal, and very few show
ers occurred after the Goth. The rain
fall was, however, excessive in few
localities on the night of the 18th, and
especially over the northern counties
of the east central district. Dubuque
reported 5..23 inches; Delaware, 4.s2
and Waterloo, 400 inches. A heavy
shower also occurred in the southern
part Of Page county on the 10th. Rap
id progress has been made in stacking
and threshing since the 2lst, but con-
siderable grain in stack and shock, has
been damaged by the wet weather of
the previous week. Corn has made
rapid growth and much of it in early
planted fields is beginning to dent. The
late planted fields are in fine condition
but will require warm, dry weather
during all of September, to fully ma,
ture. Early apples. early grapes and
plums are being harvested. Plums and
grapes are plentiful, but the apple
crop is light. A large acreage is be-
ing plowed for winter wheat.

High School Normal Course

This year the Cresco high school will
be able to offer the full course as out
lined for the Normal Training High
Schools. The fourteen branches re-
quired for uniform county certificate,
in addition to Home Economics and Ag.
riculture, will be carefully reviewed
and studied from the teachers stand
point. Upon completion of enough
work for thirty two credits the pupil
will be awarded diploma that is a
valid license to teach in any school in
the state for period of two years,
subject to renewal the same as any
other certificates. In fact, this di.
ploma is recognized by the State de.
partment as ranking even higher than
FIRST grade uniform county certificate.
As Cresco will have the only Normal
training high school between Waukon
and New Hampton it is expected that
large number of out-of-town pupils
in this section of the State will avail
themselves of this opportunity to Sc
cure this normal diploma.

City Mail Delivery Nearer.

Postmaster Burgess was called to
Calmar Monday to consult with In
spector Farrell concerning the estab-
lishment of city delivery, to which
Cresco is entitled by reason of the re-
ceipts of the Office for the past two
years. Unless other matters prevent,
Mr.. Farrell will be in Cresco next
week to look over matters further and
make an inspection of the condition of
the sidewalks of the city and to see if
the streets are properly named and
marked, and if every thing is sstisfac-
tory will doubtless recommend the
establishment of free delivery.
The city council met last evening
and passed an ordinance for naming
the streets and providing for number
ing, and it is essential that very
large proportion of the number be put
in place before the visit of Inspecto,
Farrell.

stantly growing, the winter warmth
and summer breezes, the pureneSs of
the water for drinking for man and
beast, and the cheapness of living, it
seems wonderful that such a boon
should have been reserved for the
present genera ton. Add to these the
fact that while the new settler is
planting, tending and waiting for his
orchards of pears and peaches, figs and
olives, plums and apricots, almonds
and pecans, European chestnuts and
waInuts to mature and give him
stores of luxuries, he can from the
same land harvest two and three crops
of corn and grain, potatoes and cas-
sava, strawberries and melons, with
all the products of the garden and
truck farm, and because Of their earli-
ness find ready market at top prices
in the cities of the north, thus making
a support for himself and family while
he fertilizes the land and the trees
that are to be his ultimate dependence.
