Des Noines, Aug. 1S-That which
the weather and crop report for this
week will fail to show, ar least IN ali
ITS completeness, will be the devas-
Eating effect of the simeon which has
been sweeping over the state the pas,
sso or three days. Persons who nave
made careful investigation say that the
intense hot winds have been doing
vast amount of damage 10 the corn
crop. While some OF the corn IS Tar
enough advanced SO that il can not
be entirely ruined, there are many
fields in poor condition to stand hot
wind, which dries up the leaves and
stalks and make IT impossible Tor the
sorn TO mature. Nothing Ike the
present hot wind has been known Tor
good many years. Il is agreed
however. that it would have oeen
much more serious Il il had come
some time ago.

a few locations. bu, over the larger
part OF the state the rainfall was prac-
rically nil or the amounts were too

The greatest measurements Of rainfall
were reported from the west central,
northwestern. north central ana east
ern counties and the least from the
central and southern sections
Corn Is steadily retrogradins, and
much Of II in the southern districts IS
past the stage where rain would be OF
any benefit. Corn on sandy soil IS FIR
ing badly n ali parts Of the state, and
the prospective crop has been reduced
5000, 900 10 100000 bushels during
the week, yet in many localities over
the northern half Of the state the crop
is in excellent condition, and there has
been sufficient rainfall to assure its
maturity. In some OF the southern
counties, corn Is being cut to save the
fodder.
Pastures arc brown and afford but
little or no feed Spring seeded grasses
are burned out and late potatoes are
suffering badly. Shallow wells and
small streams are dry, and the lack
Of water for stock Is serious. Thresh-
ing is progressing rapidly and is COM
pleted in many localities. But little

EcLiPsE OF gun FRIDAY.
Early Rissrs May View Sight When
Noon Obscures Old Sol.

Mo0n OoScoroS Sto COL
Iowa people will be presented with
an opportunity to behold partial
eclipse of the sun on Friday Of the
current week but they must arise with
the sun in order to witness the phe-
nomenon.
In view OF the public interest in the
event. Prof. c. G. Albert. head Of the
astronomical branch of the Smithson-
ian Institute at Washington and rec
ognized authority on solar phenom-
ena, gives the following popular acl
count of the eclipse and the scientific
results sought from such events. a,.i
On Aug. q the moon will pass ex-
actly between the earth and the sun,
and there will be total solar eclipse.
1t will be observed In America only
at sunrise and in the northern states
and Canada. y i'H sts-i
While the moon looks about the size
of the sun, it is very much smaller and
nearer. The sun is $4,000 miles in
diameter and 100000 miles away.
While the moon is 2.16S miles In diam.
eter and $4,000 miles away.
Whenever the solar eclipse IL seen
as total the sky will become nearly
as dark as full moonlight, and few
of the brighter stars and planets may
be seen. The duration of the totaitty'
will be longest near kief, Russia
Sometimes the moon and sun oc-
cupy such positions that. altho tho
moon passes directly between the earth
and the sun. the shadow cone does not
quite reach the earth. Such solar
eclipses are called "annular" and are
nowhere total eclipses. In most favor
able conditions a total eclipse may last
over seven minutes at station, but
such occasions are very rare.
A total eclipse will be visible in the
United States on June 8. 1918: Sept.
10, 1929 and Jan. "a, 1925.
