IOWA CROP BULLETIN
Official Observations of Conditions
Throughout the State.
For week ending June 30, 1912.

For week ending June 80, 1912.
5a. Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week was very warm and
unusually dry; the only rainfall re-
ported being, a fewflocal and generally
light showers in the southwestern and
southeastern counties on one day.
The high temperatures and bright
sunshine have been favorable for the
rapid advancement of corn and curing
clover hay. Corn has made very rapid
growth, but it is still uneven in height.
Some of it has been laid by, and all
of the fields are clean. Some of tho
late planted corn is beginning to show
the effects of the dry weather, but If
rain comes within the next week or
ten days it will continue to make goo6
progress. Early corn is in fine condi
ton, the root system being sufficient
ly developed to reach moist soil. The
dry weather has also been generally
favorable for small grain in checking
the development of rust and smut, and
stiffening the straw, thereby lessening
the possibility of lodging. Oats and
other small grains have headed in all
parts of the state and are filling we'll
Rye, fall wheat and early oats are be-
ginning to ripen in the southern coun-
ties and with Favorable conditions the
harvest will begin during the coming
week. Considerable clover and some
timothy hay were put, up in fine con
dition, and haying will be general in
a few days. While all crops are still
in good condition, late potatoes, late
planted corn, pastures. garden truck
and fruit would be benefited by rain.

RURAL LIFE IN IOWA.

Il can tell you what Is the trouble
with the rural church in Iowa" declar-
ed Rev. c. L. Barter, of Council Bluffs
district superintendent of the Metho-
dist church, at the session of the rur-
al life conference at Iowa State col
,lege in Ames. Our farmers are
keeping it too near the edge Of bank
Iruptcy, and they are paying their
preachers starvation wages"
Mr.. Barter declared that the aver
age church is unfair, while some are
downright stingy and mean, in their
treatment of ministers. They demand
a man who is we'll educated; they
want good lockers; they want men
who dress we'll and who dress their
keep open house and have good
homes; they want them to be well
read and own libraries and take mag.
aZines; they want them to keep up
with the times, and yet they won't pay
much more than $500 a year salary
to such a man. People can be relig-
ious and not have very good sense
about these things. One church in
Iowa had new preacher ten weeks
and in that time did not pay him
more than S. on salary, yet he had
family of size to feed and clothe
for the winter, fuel to buy, and other
things to pay. He was suffering phys
ically, mentally, he was suffering more
because of his shameful treatment.
Yet his congregation wanted good SER
vice from him. When We put our
churches on higher standard finan-
cially, We will go far toward solving
the rural church problem"
Rev. w. B. McNutt OF the Presby-
Iterian department of country church
work, declared that no other business
on earth was so carelessly managed
Jas the rural church business. Our
farmers are accused OF being stingy
with their churches and II looks like
IT," he said. "They keep their
churches and ministers on the verge
of starvation. The $1,000 ministers
outside the $50 large cities of the Unit.
ed States get an average salary OF
$4,000 a year. Statistics show that
the average family must spend $3.50
a year for food alone. How can
minister get along on what Is left,
support his family and be happy
and efficient?
"The average farmer thinks he
can't afford to give to the church's
support. Yet, here are the facts. In
a typical rural community OF 379 fam
lilies, 1t was found that the average
among them owned property worth
$4,000. This average family spent
on itself $771.00 year; on schools.

WHITHER7

Letters from both Senator Kenyon
and Congressman kendall have been
received by friends in the Sixth dis
trict asking for sentiment on political
questions, and in an indirect way ad-
vising against third party movement
in Iowa. The Sixth district is natur-
ally a close district, though the popu-
larity of Mr.. Kendall won for him
big lead at the last election. A third
party, however, would make results
very uncertain, as it is felt that most
of the new party votes would be
drawn from the Republican side OF the
house.
While the state is safely Republican
and even a division of strength might
not defeat Senator Kenyon, yet, as
one of his friends expressed it, the
senator is not anxious to breed a gum
boil on his nose.
If third party is organized and all
Republican candidates for offices
could be sure of being named on the
ballots of both parties they would all
gladly join in the movement. But
there could not possibly be any such
assurance and very few are willing to
take chances on a division of the old
party.
Des Moines advices say the third
party movement there is very strong
and much encouragement is being
given the proposition. Friends OF
Senator Kenyon, however, are point
ing out that the loss of few Repub-
.lican counties in Iowa would leopard
ize his success. The splendid victory
he achieved at the primaries could be
easily dashed, by a loss of a majority
in the legislature. This would be
serious loss not only to the party,
but to all friends and admirers who
wish to see him continued as an Iowa
member of the United States senate.
A third party movement may mean
a political revolution in Iowa. While
are sometimes good
thing, and are often great epoch max
ers in history, they are also some
times most disastrous and very often
the axe falls with unusual and sur
prising severity on the promoters.
The next few weeKs will hold much
anxiety over the heads of political
leaders and candidates.

The custom of having the water
in great many public fountains flow
from a lions mouth dates back to
the dawn of history. Among the an
cient Egyptians the rising OF the wat
ers Of the river Nile was the most
important event of the year, as 1t
meant life and prosperity to the whole
nation. This rising OF the waters al
ways took place when the sun was In
the constellation OF Leo, or the lion,
and they adopted the shape OF lion
as the symbol for the life-giving wat,
ers OF the Nile, and all their foun-
tains were carved with lions head.

symbol, and so 1t has come to mod

FRIDAY EVENING.

Olivet, July 3.-The Herald man
and his wife dressed up on Friday
night and took in the Grange "doings"
at the Presbyterian church. On our
arrival we found one of the largest
crowds ever seen in Olivet. There
were at least five hundred people
there, whose actions showed they
came out to mingle with these good
people and have a good time. Among
the crowd was w. r. Lacey from Os-
kaloosa; also Dr. Parks of Tracy.
Both of these "old fellows" were just
as frisky as they could be. Brother
Lacey made an effort to buy all the
ice cream cones there were on the
place, at all times making an effort
to single out the best looking young
ladies" in the crowd. After social
greetings for an hour or more on the
lawn, the audience was called into
the building by Mrs. A. B. Hickey,
who conducted the program, and act
ed as hostess to the people in way
that was highly commendable. Music
for the occasion was furnished by
DIR. Parks and orchestra. The Doctor
led the music on the violin, and was
ably assisted by Squire Hearny and
Miss Rozella Robertson on the piano.
The program consisted of instrument
al music largely. A very interesting
paper was read by young lady,
whose name we did not get, which
was well taken by the audience. At
