Des Moines, July 30.-Thc weather
and crop bureau says the conditions
during the past week were almost ideal
for growing crops, and for haying. har-
vesting and threshing The tempera-
ture was about normal, and while the
rainfall was generally deficient. nearly
all parts of the state received light to
copious showers. Some localities In
the southern districts, however, need
rain badly for corn, potatoes and pas
lures. but for the state as whole all
crops are in excellent condition.
Haying Is nearly finished. and the
crop has been put up in fine shape. The
yield of hay is better than anticipate ed
and the quality is extra good.
The small grain harvest has pro-
crossed rapidly, and the bulk of it will
be completed by the end OF the coming
week. Early reports show some excep-
tionally large yields and fine quality OF
grain. The yield of winter wheat
ranges from twenty-five to fifty BUSH
els per acre; oats thirty to sixty five
and barley, twenty-five to thirty
bushels.
No timothy has yet been threshed.
but a large acreage has been cut for
seed
Corn has made rapid growth, and the
early fields are shooting nicely but the
crop as a whole is not yet quite up
to the normal in size and development.
altho the prospects are good for better
than an average Weld IL favorable
weather continues.
Potatoes are generally in good condi-
ton and give promise of large crop.

Is any other way to work for socialist
or progressive measures but their way.
I concede that theirs is one way, but
it is not the only way, for 80 per cent
of the voting socialists do not en-
ploy 1t. Theirs is method well suited
to people Of their cast of mind. I even
concede the necessity of maintaining
the socialist party organization, not
that 1t will ever establish socialism.
but compel ether parties to enact 1t
step by step under penalty Of losing
their votes to the socialist party. Not
