IOWA WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Another Unfavorable Week has Been
Added to the Present Late
e Season.
Season..

Des Moines, Iowa, May IS, 1913.
Another unfavorable week has
been added to the record of this be-
lated season. The average tempera-
ture was about 6 degrees below, and
the rainfall was much in excess of
the ~normal over the larger part of
the state The first half of the week
was especially unfavorable; it be-
ing cool, cloudy and wet, but the
latter half was somewhat better, and
gave two days of sunshine. Farm
work was practically at a standstill
until Friday, but corn planting was
rushed on Friday and Saturday,.
Probably not more than 80 or 35
per cent of the crop has been plant
ed, and unless drier weather and
more favorable conditions come soon
the anticipated acreage of corn will
be materially reduced. Much of the
corn that is up is yellow, and some
of the later planting is reported to
be rotting in the ground. The cold,
wet and cloudy weather is also det-
rimental to garden truck, and is
causing too rank a growth of oats,
wheat and clover. Light frost oc-

question. He received the commit
tee in the well known marble room
of the capitol and was most enthus-
| iastic in his words of approval for
the work of the congress.
The two departments of the intar-
ior and agriculture are the ones
which really are most interested in
the drainage question and the COM
mittee were very glad, indeed, to
find both of these secretaries ready
to cooperate with them. Each de-
partment offered one of it's higher
officials and trained men to assist a
small committee appointed by the
drainage association to draft a plan
for national control. This commit
tee will be appointed soon and meet
in Washington from time to time to
compare the results of their investi-
cations and formulate a system.
They will probably follow rather
closely plans now in use in Europe
adapting them to the somewhat diff
ferent conditions of this country.
1t is hoped that special drain
age bureau may be created to han
die the work to be done by the gov
eminent and the new plan will prob
ably provide for the creation of just
such a bureau.
Mr.. Sparboe says that sentiment
in Washington seems to be strongly
in favor of step in this direction
and it now remains for the definite
plan to be formed which if it meets
with the approval of the legislators
will soon become law. The commit
tee feel that the time is ripe for ac-
ton and before many months have
come and gone the United States
will have taken an advance step
along this line.

one son who had remained up later

sion Of the home for a few hours

Mr.. Ross Lynder Of harrisburg, &C
companied by Mrs. Doolittle at the
organ. Mr. Coble presented a gift
from the company to Mr.. Doolittle,
fine set Of gentleman's brushes, as
token Of remembrance. Mr.. Doc
little responded with a brief but
hearty speech Of thanks.
Shortly after midnight the COM
pany dispersed for their homes, de-
claring the evening very pleasantly
