George Fltch's Iowa.

Iowa Is large and happy cornfield,
specked with Carnegie libraries and
half ton hogs which are exchanged by
their owners, when ripe, for automo-
biles and piano players. The field IL
bounded on the east and west by the
mississippi and Missouri rivers. but
barbed wire is used on the north and
south. The state has 100000 people,
almost all of whom scan the market
reports and editorial pages in the
daily papers with the deepest inter-.
est.
Iowa has no romance in It's story.
Its history could not be dramatized
even In a high brow theater, with any
success. About seventy years ago,
people began going to Iowa from ILL
nois to raise crops, and they have
been doing it ever since. Iowa leads
the world in farm products. It's corn

midsummer complains Of the dense
forests and the early twilight. but he
is only going through 800 miles Of
Iowa crops which the getting their
full growth. After a farmer has sat
on his porch on hot July evenings ano
heard his corn grow for twenty-five
years. 1t Is hard to interest him In
such piffish music as grand opera pro-
duces.

nous for its. politics. The high ten
sion, four-syllabled brand of politics
is used throughout the state, and
while over dozen campaigns heated
to 1000 degrees OF Fahrenheit have
been pulled off in the last ten years
they have been decided without the
use Of brass knuckles or bribery in
vestigations. There is twice as much
politics per cubic yard OF converse

Iowa produces several statesmen per

not their financial prominence.
lows Is singularly blessed in her

IOWA BULLETIN
ON CROP CONDITIONS
Report for the Week Ending July Z
Shows How Things Look In
the Country.

The Iowa weather crop bulletin for
the week ending July Z. together with
conditions in the southeastern coun-
ties Of the state, has just been issued
rs follows:
The weather during the past seven
days was exceptionally favorable for
farming operations, and In most sec
tions for the growth of crops. The
average temperature was about 5 de-
grees above the normal, and while the
rainfall was decidedly below the
average, many localities received
light to copious. and in few sec
tions, moderately heavy showers.
The warm, dry weather, and the ex-
cessive sunshine were very beneficial
for haying. and harvesting. Much hay
was put up in the best condition;
yield being somewhat below the
normal. Most OF the rye and winter
wheat, and many early oats are m
shock in the southern counties, and
harvest has begun in central and
northern sections. All small grains
give promise Of good to extra good
yields, but late oats need rain to fill
to the best advantage. Considerable
rust is reported, but probably no more
than usual. Corn continued to make
rapid growth, and half of it is nearly
up to the normal height for this sea-
son OF the year, Some of the earliest
planted fields in the extreme south

fruit and garden truck also need rain.

ONIONS Will
BE OUR NEXT
BIG EXPORT

Bermuda onions are the coming
crop of Kauai and it will not be long
before the p anters on the island will
be shipping five to six hundred car
loads a year to the Pacific Coast"
This statement was made by Super
intendent of Markets Sterett as a
brief summing up of the information
he has gained by his ten days trip
to the island of Kauai. He had made
three excursions through the is and,
each time taking Nawiliwili Bay as
e starting point and each trip taking
in part of the island where condi-
tions, both climatic and Topographic,
are different, and where the onion
growing experiments were being car
ried on.
Last October the market superin-
tendent made a trip to Kauai and took
