IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Dr.
rector of Weather Bureau.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE week
was hot and generally dry; the aver
age daily excess of temperature be
ing about three degrees, and the
rainfall was much below the normal.
There were, however, many local but
generally light showers, which af-
forded slight relief from the severe
drought and intense heat. Corn in
the northern part of the state Is
holding its own remarkably well and
gives promise of large yield and
early maturity. In some fields corn
is beginning to dent. In the south
ern counties corn is steadily retro
grading and the crop Is being cut two
to four million bushels week The
scarcity of water is becoming ser
ious. he drought is also severe on
pastures, potatoes, gardens and fruit,
and Is preventing any fall blowing
being done. Threshing continues I'M
under favorable conditions and is
we'll advanced.
Following is a summary showing
average condition of crops on August
first, as conn AIRED with the average
'of past years on that date, except
fruit, whoch is compared with last
years crop as shown by reports of
township assessors: Corn, 81 per
cent; pastures, "a; potatoes, so; fax
81; apples. 25; plums, So; grapes, 81
per cent

on $500 soldier boys modified in
great tent city which had sprung
up within a space of but little more
than twelve hours Before the lights
went out, every man had found his
place, every tent was securely pegged
against any condition that might ar
ise, guards were patrolling the COM
pany streets, and the entire camp
was in state of as perfect organiza-
ton as it would need be for a state
of actual warfare.
Twenty-four hours before, this
great body Of troops had been scat
tered all over the state OF Iowa. In
single day they had assembled in
nearly fifty towns, transported to the
camp, and settled for a ten days
stay. They had demonstrated their
preparedness for serving whenever
they might be called upon.
Hard work began this morning, the
men going through a stiff drill in
both extended and close order by
companies and by battalions. This
afternoon they are repeating the

ed Mr.. Zandstra a substantial sum of
money, the contribution of the mem

in expressing himself when his ac-
knowledgement was awaited Wher
tall formalities were waived social

Health Hint.

DO not gall or fret or bibble;
Do not worry, do not stew
Take the hyssop with the honey,
1t may be the best for you;
Do not let the milk of kindness
Curdle in your sadful breast,
Always put your best work forward
Let the devil take the rest.
