Mr.. Pinchot pointed out that the
measure does not protest consumers
within the states from extortion in
case the state governments fail to act.
Also, he asserted, 1t makes the TAX
ing back Of the public rights granted
practically impossible at the conclu-
sion Of the ostensible period of grant.
"The Adamson BILL" continued Mr..
Pinchot, "in its present form is full
of jokers. It is lacking in important
safeguards to protect the public In
terest. 1t does not, for example, re-
auire publicity Of accounts and cap1-
talization. It's passage would be a
sweeping victory for the water power
monopolists."

When Crop IL made"

The corn crop is made largely by
the weather and the rainfall of July
and August. Any year in which tenn
peratures of 100 and over prevail over
the corn belt states for a week or
more, without any rain, results In at
least some damage. In years where
there is moderate rain, but a deficit
of subsoil moisture from the begin
ming of the growing season, and,
when temperatures are higher than
the normal, is also harmful to the
corn.
But corn is capable Of standing a

it gets good start. and the impor-
tant fact Is that. unlike last years,
this years crop had better start
than usual. Most of it is, therefore,
in condition to withstand a great deal
of punishment 1t is the impression
among corn people that the highest
condition for the season has been
seen. and that the condition Of future
months will be lowered But this al
most always happens; it happened
even in the bumper season 1912, and
it will take very considerable low
ering of condition to offset the really
favorable start which the crop has
made.

Jujy Critical Month.

The first warning of last years
failure of the southwestern corn crop
was the governments weekly bulletin
Of July s, which stated that west Of
the Mississippi there was very
general lack Of sufficient RAIN In
the middle of the month, according
to the bulletin "hot and dry winds
prevailed"-and farmers beyond the
Mississippi know by experience what
that means.
In 1901, when the corn crop failed
the Washington bulletin of the first
week of July announced that in Kan
sas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and
Arkansas corn has been seriously
damaged by intense heat and drying
Winds; in the second week, that
maximum temperatures ranged
above 100 degrees daily, many sta
tions reporting from 100 to 1917; in
the third, that early corn is practic-
ally ruined"
In the corn crop failure year 1884.
the crop condition fell from So per
cent to 69.1 during July. AS late IN
that year as the middle Of July pros
poets for corn were favorable; 1t was
after the middle Of the month that
the much-dreaded hot winds swept
over the plains of the trans-Mississ1pp'
vest devastating the crops OF Iowa.
Kansas and Nebraska so that thees
states turned out only l37,OOo,ooo
bushels Of corn, as compared with
54s. 600. 900 bushels in 1892.

Anxious Seat Regarding Tenn

IS AT TAssELING STAGE
This Month Is Critical for lowa's
Crop, Which Looks Now Like
It Would be I'm
mense.

Grain men and farmers are waiting
anxiously to see what this week will
bring forth in the way of weather.
The fate Of the corn crop is hanging
in the balance. The critical time for
corn is what is known as the shoot
ing and tasseling" stage. 1t Is now
at that stage over a considerable part
of Iowa, large portion of the south
west, central Illinois and Indiana.
Rains in southeastern Iowa last
week are reported to have done the
corn an immense amount of good
there. Other parts of the state are
hoping for rain this week to put the
crop in proper shape. A little rain
occasionally during the next six weeks
the grain men say, will give US 4,000..
900 bushels more Of the grain than
were harvested last year.

What the Situation 10.

One private crop reporter, in re-
viewing the condition Of corn last
week. gives Iowa condition of 100,
Illinois and Indiana 90, Missouri go,
Nebraska 1902. South Dakota 100, Kan
sas s5, and Oklahoma 70.
The real indications, as the present
week begins, are for an average crop
or better, depending on the amount OF
rainfall in the next sixty days. There
are undoubtedly spots where the pres
ent outlook is poor; but when the
country as whole is taken into &C
count, and the vast area planted to
corn is considered, they are only a
small part Of it. Western Indiana,
eastern Illinois, stretch across the
state of Illinois, including part of the
southern section, part of Missouri,
part of western Oklahoma. and part
of southern Iowa have deteriorated IN
condition under drought in the past
two weeks. The rain last week will
save the Iowa crop, however. farmers
say. Elsewhere the crop is in good
condition, 1t all needs rain and
should have it this week to prevent
serious loss.
