WHEAT CROP GONE;
TOO MANY RAINS

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 3d.. c. Mob
Ter, secretary of the State board OF
agriculture, in his report issued today
estimated the Kansas wheat yield for
this year at 9S,69O,OOO as against an
estimate of 115,7C0,OOO in July and
13S, 700, 900 in June.
Continued rains were held respon-
sible for the big loss in the States
crop production. Millions of bushels
were lost because of the weather that
would not permit threshing.
Corn conditions are unchanged, the
report estimating the yield at 149, ,4S2,-

Deterioration due to adverse wealth

month was arrested by good rains

portions of the belt during tie latter

was announced today by the depart

Washington, Aug. 30.-The condi-
ton of the growing cotton crop of the
United States on August 25 was 69.2
per cent of normal, the United States
department of agriculture's crop re-
port in its fourth condition report OF
tie season. That condition compares
with 75.3 per cent on July 25 this
year, $50 per cent on August % last
year, 68.2 per cent in 1913 and 72.8
per cent, the average on August 70
during the last ten years.
A crop slightly under 100000
bales was forecast by the crop report
ing board from the July 25 condition.
The bureau of crop estimates an
nounces that. a condition of 100 on Au-
guste 25 would be equivalent to yield
of 25S.9 pounds to the acre. The area
planted this year t2as been officially
reported at 31,535,0O0 acres.
Weather conditions for the crop
had not been very favorable during
the month. Hot and generally con-
tinued dry weather greatly retarded
growth over many portions of the belt
during the first week and but little
progress was possible except over the
northern portion where local rains and
moderate warmth favored satisfactory
growth. During the early part Of the
month drought continued very gener-
ally in Texas and was becoming Sc

Continued dry weather over the
greater part of the more important

drawn at t-e marketing period. Here
is where a proper warehouse system
performs its function of Transforming
cotton into liquid asset, enabling the
producer to carry his product over the
II months, instead of dumping it on
the market in October or November.
"The lien law is largely responsible
for this condition, and has been an
unmitlgated curse to the South, max
ing of us a one-crop, credit country.
| Ills law was useful after the Wal,
but was continued long after the ne
cessity for it's existence had ended. 1t
is responsible for so many large land
owners living in the towns on their
rents and leaving the negro tenant and
lien merchant to skin the land. Cot
ton is our money crop, and the tenant
is forced to the all cotton plan to pay
his rent and lien account. If he has
money in t. e fall it is consumed dur
Ing the winter in buying feed for his
stock and provisions for his family,
and my experience is that we have
been travelling in a circle and getting
nowhere. The landlord can not allow
the tenant to I3old his cotton because
he must meet his own obligations.
'eThe warehouse receipt has only
been good at the local bank, because
of the various liens by the landlord
and others casting a cloud on the title
of the cotton, and any ward. ouse sys-
tenn that does not provide a receipt
which carries title to the cotton can
not meet the situation when outside
money is needed.
I'm South Carolina we have met
this difficulty by the State declaring
that tie warehouse receipt carries ab-
solute title to the cotton, which is to
be delivered only On the presentation
of the receipt. The lender of money
in New York or Boston must know
absolutely when he makes a cotton
loan that no landlords lien, or per-
haps trumped-up claim by collusion
between creditors, can prevent him
from selling tie cotton when he calls
for it to satisfy his evidence of indebt-
edness. The warehouse is placed in
charge of a bonded State Official, under
the supervision of the State warehouse
commissioner.
Preventing Substitution.
"In addition to this, it is essential
that the receipt guarantee that the
identical cotton upon witch the money
is loaned be delivered, thus preventing
substitution Of inferior grades, which
has been frequently done.
Further, the weights and grades of
the cotton should be guaranteed in ia
Yor of the party who loans the money;
otherwise, if loaning 80 per cent of
the value on the supposition that it is
middling cotton, small decline in the
market might entail loss.
'GA warehouse system, in order to be
a success, must proceed upon the idea
of facilitating, not obstructing, busi-
ness. It's object should be to enable
the producer to get the benefit OF the
operation of the laws of supply and
demand throughout the 12 months, and
not force him to bear all the loss Of
the temporary decline sure to come
when the current needs of the market
fail to absorb the offerings

CONVENIENCE AND HAPPINESS

Twenty years ago last evening the
first stage coach that ever ventured
up the Missouri Valley north of Coun-
ell Bluffs greeted the sight of our city's
pioneers just as the sun was setting.
II Is hard at this late day to conceive
Of the encouragement lent to them by
the sight Of its bright and CHEEKY out
lines. Some Of them had been battling
With the wilderness here for nearly
two years. with no communication
With the rest Of The world. only as &C.
casion many weeks apart were pre-
sented to send to Council Bluffs for

future generations would know i'm

pioneers never even dreamed of-and
be none tibet happier for knowing
them.
Question: Are the folks of 1915,
every sixteenth one of whom in Iowa

the folks of sixty years ago, when, in
the middle west, the stage coach was
the only common carrier by land, and
even that was so uncommon that its
arrival or its departure was an event
of importance in any settlement? Are
the folks Of 1915, with telephones in
every home to save them steps and
time, any happier than those of fifty
years ago who had to visit each others
homes in order to exchange views and
keep up ac%quaintances and thus got TO
know each other at their true value
and effected friendships that lasted
even into old age-frendships, the like
of which, are all too rare in these fast
er moving times? Are the boys and
girls and the men and women of 1915,
with hot water heat and bathrooms
and piano players and electro lights,
any happier-or any better-than the
boys and girls and the men and wo-
men of forty years ago, who had to get
along with the old fashioned CRATE and
he old fashioned portable tub and the
I'D fashioned organ and the old fash
oned kerosene lamp?
Perhaps not many Of us who whiz

We have in the way Of modern conven-
ences and go back to the simple life

The attorney general holds that a

limitation of levy for counties fixed by
statute. AS the road levy is not equal
on all parts of the county being differ
ent for organized and unorganized
townships, it is not to be considered in
the limitation when the levies are
fixed. 1t is also held in this opinion
that provisions for caring for outstand-
ing bonds either in way of sinking
fund or settlement is not limited by
the Limitation act, but must be con
sidered outside the ordinary levies. But
