COMMENT ON IOWA CORN YIELD
Statewide Survey Made at Order
OF Eastern Road
Head.
COMMENT ON IOWA CORN YIELD

Davenport Aug. 1.-THE 1913
corn crop of Iowa will be more than
sc, 100000 bushels short of the gov
eminent crop report figures, says M.
J. Sweet, local commercial agent of
the New York Central lines, who
has just completed a weeks inspec-
ton tour of all parts Of the state.
I 1t was at the order of President
w. c. Brown Of the New York Cen
trail that the trip was made. At the
present the crop is less than 300,-
100000 bushels, in the estimate of
Mr.. Sweet, the government report
being 323.O0O,00O bushels If the
state is not gifted with heavy rains
within ten days this will fall to
$50, 100000 bushels, he says. The
government report is based on fig
ures taken up to July /. when corn
was in good condition.
During the month of July, howev-:
er, the drought made great inroads.
In Scott county there has been no
heavy rain since July 2 and in the
lower two-thirds Of Iowa conditions
are little better. In the upper third,
north of the Illinois Central line,
running from Dubuque to Sioux
City, the crop is better than in any
other section, due to the rains that
swept across the state on July %
and %.
In this section, clear to the Min
nesota border, corn will have yield
above the average. North of Water
loo and in the northeast corner Of
Iowa, as we'll as around Rock Rap
ids in the northwest corner the
stand is especially gratifying, says
Mr.. Sweet.
q On the lowlands along the Missis-
sippi where the drought, came sud-
denly after the ground was COM
pletely soaked, many of the fields
were baked hard before cultivating
could take place and the stand isl
now practically nil. Around Keokuk
many fields are being cut for ensil-
age as the ears have not filled and
the plant is whitening up under the
hot winds.

THE FIGURES ON THE
CORN CROP ARE DOUBTED

az IA Sls y
The sixth was but repetition OF
the preceding innings, two little
grounders by Larson and G. Severoid
and foul fly by Hill retired Jew
ell. The Sox hit two grounders to
third base and were thrown out
while the next man hit to right
field, retiring the home team.
In the seventh, all Jewell could
draw was fly to center and two
fans, while Webster City got fan, a
grounder to pitcher, man to first
by being hit by pitched ball, and a
fly to center.
In the eighth, hit by Perkins, a
grounder by Tallman, which was
made double play, and fan, was
what Jewell received. The Sox drew
about the same with a fly to short
stop, a fan, and a grounder to sec
ond base.
In the ninth, Jewell thought they
could score with two down. Hill
drew two Dagger, but Huston then
tucked the mighty Olmstead away
with three little whiffs.

SENATOR'S INDORSE PRES
|DENT WILSON'S POLICY

think that is true of both republic
cans and democrats in the commit
tee and in the senate generally.
''The president manifested q
strong desire to have the coopera-
ton of the committee and of the
senate and frankly said he would be
very glad to have any suggestion
from them either as individuals or
as a body and would welcome their
assistance. The senators seemed
gratified by that frank statement on
his part.
while there is a small element
in this country that would like to
see war, the large majority of the
people deprecate it most earnestly
and thoroughly sympathize with the
desire of the president to avoid it.
There is no secrecy on the part
of the president as to the general
purposes he has in view and the
general methods he is trying to en-
ploy. While the generalities can be
safely dealt with, there are some
matters of detail which in a delicate
situation of this kind cannot be pre-
maturely made public. Everybody
realizes that it is difficult question
to handle and the strongest express
sions upholding the president are
heard from. republicans as we'll az
democrats both in private converse
tion and on the floor of the senate.
There never was greater re-
sponsibility on a man than now rests
on the president Of the United States
to guard this country against being
involved in war on account OF Mex
leo and / believe that it is the duty
OF every man, inside and out of con-
gress, who has confidence in the in
tegrity and capacity of the presi-
dent to hold up his hands in the eff
fort he is making, and to do as lit
tie as possible to embarrass him in
working out successfully the diff
cult undertaking"

Leon Boy Wins Honor as Oarsman.

Bob Teale, of Leon, has added an
other mark to the long list of ath-
letic honors won by Leon boys. Bob
attended the Culver Military School
at Culver, Indiana, the past summer,
and although it was his first year,
won place on the rowing crew.
Last week Culver participated in the
events at the Perry Centennial aquat-
ic sports held at Put-in-Bay, Michi-
gan, and they carried off all the
honors in their class. The Culver
crew won the junior cutter race with
their Chippy crew of ten boys, who
were all under 1876 pounds weight.
Bob pulled fore port in the Culver
heavy crew in the naval event of the
ten oar race for the championship
of the United States, and the Gull
yer crew won easily from the South
Carolina crew, who had won the
cup the past two years, and would
have retained it had they won this
year. The Culver crew also secured
the Josephthal perpetual challenge
and championship flag. Bob return
ed to Leon Saturday morning, and
his hands show the effect of the ter
rife struggle at the oars, but he is
about the happiest boy in this part
of the country. He will attend the
Leon High School the, coming year,
but expects to return to Culver next
summer '..>
