Weather Crop Bulletin.

For week ending June 80, 1912.
Des MOines, Iowa.
The past week was very warm and
unusually dry; the only rainfall re-
ported being few local and gener-
ally light showers in the southwest
ern and southeastern counties on
one day. The high temperatures
and bright sunshine have been fav-
orable 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 the late planted
feet of the dry weather, but if rain
comes within the week or ten days it
will continue to make good progress.
Early corn is in fine condition.; the
root system being sufficiently devel-
oped to reach moist soil. The dry
weather has also been generally fav-
orable for small grain in checking
the development of rust and smut.
and stiffening the straw, thereby les
sening 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 beginning to ripen in
the SOUTHERN countises and viii fav-
the southern counties and with fav-
orable conditions the harvest will be-
gin during the coming week. Consid-
cradle clover and some timothy hay
was put up in fine condition and
haying will be general in a few days.
While all crops are in good condition,
late potatoes, late planted corn, pas
lures, garden truck and fruit would
be benefited by rain.

Town is Interested.

Eldon, 1owa-The temperance
question has been more or less re-
vived in this place lately on ac-
count of the arrest of several "boot-
leggers' by Sheriff William E. Knox.
Just a few days ago RED" Russell
and Mont Hale were taken into Gus
tody, charged with having sold
liquors in tent on the bank of the
river.
Considerable interest is being man
ifested in the bill that is to come be-
fore the next general assembly, pro-
viding for the substitution of the
secret ballot for the petition of con-
sent. Many of the leading temper
ance advocates believe their cause
will be materially strengthened if
this bill is passed by the legislature
and the people are permitted to go to
the polls and vote on the question of
whether or not they desire local pro-
hibition or the saloon.
1t is pointed out that the petition
of consent is un-American, and it's
circulation creates strife in every
instance. Business men are often
the subject of boycott no matter
whether they sign in favor of or
against the saloon. Both sides have
resorted to unfair and dishonorable
tactics under this system. The bal
lot would permit every voter to ex-
press his opinion without fear of be-
ing bOycotted or threatened.

which it was stated that several hop
pickers of the Bailey hop yard had
left for their homes on account of
Indians employed in the yard who
had become intoxicated and tried to
settle a dispute with knives Mr..
Bailey says the statement is a mis-
take, and that all of his pickers re-
manned with him until he finished
and that there were no drunken In
dians in the yard at any time during
the picking season.
