Merriment Before Opening.

IN direct contrast TO the Senate pro-
ceedings. the time honored exuberance
Of House members was in evidence long
Members slapped each other on the back I:
Democrats crowed over the success Of
the party at the polls; visitors in the
crowded. galleries looked down on the
animated scene. and the entire spectacle
was picturesquely American and typical
of the reassembling of the popular
branch of the national legislature
The converting of the House for the
final session of the SD Congress was not
without It's serious features. Many Of the
''od guard" are passing. The end OF the
present session means the dissolving of
friendships and associations of long
standing. A party which has been mill
tant through four administrations is going
temporarily out OF power. and the &C
claim which greeted members who were
successful was punctuated with express
sions of regret that political fortune had
decreed the retirement of oldtimers who
had been identified for years with legisla-
ton in the lower body.
Three members died during the recess
and this cast a dampening influence upon
the House. After the opening formalities
had been observed the House learned off,
cally OF the deaths OF Representative
Anderson. OF Ohio; Utter, of Rhode ISL
and, and Connell, OF New York, and then
came the formal announcement from the
Senate Of the deaths Of Vice-President
Sherman and Senators Hepburn and Ray
ner. Adjournment out OF respect to the
dead was ordered. The galleries emptied
and the members filed quietly out OF the
chamber.

A FORECAST FOR JULY
Foster Tells of Kind Of Weather
That May be Expected.

Prof. Foster, the well known wealth
says:
"A great hot wave is expected to
cross the continent between July 1
and Is. During that two weeks it
will be generally Hot and dry in large
sections of the country and crop dam.
ages will be greater than usual. Sys-
TENS of this drouth appeared in the
southwest in July, Excessively hot
Is expected in parts of the great CEN
trail valleys, in parts of New England
and New York, farther south in, the
Atlantic states, in large sections of
the interior cotton states and in the
gulf coast sections.
"The most destructive drouth is
expected in August; not general but
in such large sections that | am ad-
vising friends of my weather work to
sell no grain or cotton. 1t is not pop
ular to make such forecasts but 1t iG
best to know what is coming and pre-
pare for it. l have nothing invested
in grain or cotton, These calcula-
tions are based on weather records
covering about 80 years and simple
arithmetic calculations. | am not a
believer in weather forecasts not
based on the records. Hicks makes
some fair, forecasts but as he does
not use weather records of the past
he seldom tries to locate weather
events. 1Fr
These bulletins are the only long
range forecasts that definitely locate
weather events and are the only fore
casts based on weather records. The
people should demand of all forecasts
that they say where the weather
events forecasted are expected to &C.
cur. Forecasts that do not apply to
sections are useless.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about June 30, cross Pacific
slope by close of July /, great central
valleys July 2, eastern sections July
4. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about July 3, great central valleys 5,
eastern sections 7.
For that week dry weather will
prevail while the temperatures as a
general average will climb higher.
This will be severe ordeal for grow
ing crops and fortunate will be those
localities that get good showers dur,
ing that week
First week in July will bring ex.
cellent weather for harvesting winter
wheat and for threshing in the field.
This good weather should be utilized
in those sections included between
ATTITUDES 35 and As. Following July
10 will not be such splendid harvest
ing weather in those mid-latitude sec
tons"

Apple Crop Fails.

Ames, June Especial: Many Iowa
counties will have practically no APP
pie crop this year. The trees are IN
bad condition. Some OF them are
dead and others must be given I'M
mediate care or they will die, These
conditions were discovered by Prof.
5. A. Beach and Prof. Laurenz Greene
of the horticultural department OF the
state agricultural college at Ames
Orchards should begiyen cultivation
from now on until August i, said
Prof. Beach, to hold the moisture in
the ground and thus cause the trees
to make good wood growth before
cold weather. They should be spray
ed thoroughly to protect the foliage
aad wood from disease germs, he as
serted.
Prof. Beach said it was difficult to
give definite cause for the death OF
the trees. 1t is partly due, he be-
lieves, to winter injury, aud partly
because of blister canker caused by
a fungus. growth which. is PARASITIC
on apple trees. ....s .,, ..

er than the smaller dog, was also in

cob away from the little fellow The
pup as he was foiled in getting the
cob became savage. He sprang at
