The Crops.

The government report OF the crops
tells of heavy diminuition in the
probable yield of corn. That is now
estimated at 1854, 100000, less by 774,.
600, 900 bushels than an average. oats
and barley show like proportionate
drop. Wheat's yield makes a new
record, the aggregate being $4,000
600 bushels, or 100000 over the
average. Rye shows pretty much the
average yield. The aggregate yield OF
all grains is 100000 bushels,
which is 1,159,000,000 bushels below
the average of say ten years past.
Buckwheat drops 100000 bushels
down to 100000. Potatoes may yield
1926, 900, 900 bushels or 96,000,O00 bush
els less than the average. The hay
yield is put at 100000 tons, or TO-
OOO,O of a decline. The yield in
Iowa shows less proportionate decline
in almost everything except potatoes,
where the drop is fully fourth. d.
rector Chapel says: "The production
of tame hay in Iowa is estimated at
5,2S7 900 tons, compared with 1882
900 tons last year; for the United
States. 63,46O.OO0 tons, compared with
1851 900 tons last year. Number OF
stock hogs on September LIST in Iowa
is estimated at 90 per cent of the num-
Der a year ago; in the United States
$50 per cent of year ago.

Des Moines, Iowa.
A marked change in temperature
occurred on the Sth, and the past week
was cool and pleasant. The average
temperature was, however, slightly
above the normal, although light
frost was observed in many localities
on Friday and Saturday mornings.
Copious to heavy rains fell in all parts
of the state except the extreme south
eastern and northwestern counties, on
Wednesday night and Thursday. Pas
lures have revived and show consid-
cradle Improvement, but the rains
came too late to be of benefit to corn
or late potatoes except in few To-
calities where the potato vines were
still green. The rains were, howtver,
sufficient to facilitate blowing in many
sections, but not enough to be of ma
terial benefit to the water supply. The
excessively hot, dry weather during
the first seven days of the month hur-
ried corn to a premature death and
stopped the filling process that usual
ly occurs during all Of September and
part of October, and as a result the
crop will be lighter than was indicat-
ed on September LIST. Much corn was
cut and many silos were filled during
the week.-Geo. NJ. Chapel, Section
Director.

Boosting Alfalfa.

The growing of alfalfa is sure to
become one of the greatest agricul'
tural industries of the country. East
and west the growers of the crop are
finding it all that they could expect
as hay and feed. Just now a special
effort is in progress in the west.
Twenty-Five thousand Spokane coun-
ty farmers will be reached in cam
paign to be conducted late this
month and all OF October in an ef-
fort to secure the planting of 2OO,-
900 acres of land to the wonderful
crop this season and next. The Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce will
manage the campaign in connection
with Professor Perry G. Holden, the
Iowa corn and alfalfa expert, who
was recently in Ohio. Professor
Holden and his staff of lecturers ac-
companied by a party OF fifty or
more Spokane business men, in ad-
dition to agricultural college in
structors and farmers, will carry the
message of alfalfa, stock raising and
diversified farming to 140 towns of
the surrounding country. The party
will travel over 5000 miles of rail
road on five different lines. The
purpose of the five weeks campaign
is to arouse interest in cutting up
the great wheat farms of the Spo-
kane country, many of which num-
Der their acres by the thousands, and
to bring about diversified farming.
The message will be carried directly
to the farmers in the fields and at
each station the experts will journey
by automobiles to the farm homes,
school houses and community centers
to show the farmers the profitable
results of alfalfa growing. 1t will be
made a campaign worth while.
