SMALL PART OF IOWA CORN
ENTIRELY OUT OF DANGER

Des Moines Ia. Sept. 22.-Following
is the regular weekly bulletin of the
Iowa weather and crop service on the
week ending September 20:
The average temperature for the
week was slightly below the normal.
due to prevailing low readings on the
last day, which caused frost in many
localities on the morning of the 21st.
Showers We're frequent, and in many
sections heavy to excessive. making
unfavorable conditions for rapid ripen-
ing of corn. The crop is very back
ward, and not more than 20 per cent
of it is denied and not more than
per cent is safe from injury by killing
frost. The frequent showers also de-
layed threshing. and in some sections
blowing and seeding. The harvesting
of a very heavy crop of grapes is near
ing completion in the western counties.
and many apples have been picked.
Pastures continue in excellent condi-
ton, but reports of potatoes rotting in
the ground are still being received.

Labor Departments Plan to
Reduce Unemploy-
ment
COOPERATION WITH
STATE AUTHORITIES
Opportunity to Buy Land
on Easy Payments
Proposed

Washington July l3.--Secretary vii
son yesterday had under consideration
plans for further cooperation of the fed
eral labor authorities and the industrial
departments of the various states out
! lined in a conference with Commission
err Camnett and j. T. Fitzpatrick, sec
rotary of the Association of Govern
mental Labor Officials.
These plans, which had for their pur-
pose the promotion of the efficiency of
state labor laws and which dealt chief
ly with the unemployment question, will
be discussed at the congress Of the state
commissioners in San Francisco Aug.
H. Secretary Wilson and other members
of his department are planning to at
tend.
One of the most important questions
concerning the means Of securing work
for the unemployed was the matter OF
transportation of seasoned laborers.
Steps will be taken to coordinate the
slack periods in the factories with the
harvest season in the West Efforts
viii be made, it is stated, to persuade
the factories to use the summer seasons
TO overhaul their plants, thus permit
ting mill employees to take profitable
vacation on farms instead of losing time
in the winter seasons, when other work
is difficult to find.
The opening of federal lands or the
buying in the idle districts under bond
issue has also been considered by the
department in Washington. This would
permit the large number of skilled farm
workers who have left the country dis
tricts in unsuccessful attempts to find
city jobs an opportunity TO get back
to the soil" and eventually own their
own lots on easy payments.
The creation of an interrelated labor !
exchange between the states which will
secure the necessary cooperation for ef
fcient transportation of labor is also |
under consideration. This, il is pointed |
,ut, would assure the distribution of |
immigrant labor where il would be most
effective.

PRODUCTIVE OIL SANDS.
Considerable Impetus To Petroleum De
velopments in New York.


The impetus given to petroleum de
velopments in southwestern New York
by the advancing market of 1913 con.
tinued through the early part of 1914
and is reflected in the final statistics OF
the states production, which record an
output of 93S,974 barrels for the year
according to statement by J. ID. North
rop, made public by the United States
Geological Survey Although this guam.
tity shows slight decline from the e4s,-
l9l barrels credited to the state in 1918.
II represents an increase OF 10 per cent.
over the 1912 production and illustrates
clearly the remarkable productive ca
pacity of the Allegany and Bradford oil
sands and their ability to respond to
intensive development.
This area. which represents the north
ern termination of the broad oil-yieldng
belt of the Allegheny plateau region, has
furnished commercial output Of petro-
leum since 1870, The productive sands,
which lie near the base of the Devonan
system, are reached at relatively shallow
depths, a condition which renders their
exploitation profitable despite the low
average yield per well.
The yearly average price per barrel of
petroleum at the wells in 1914 was 81 .sT5.
compared with s2.409 in 1913, 81 .604 in
1912. and sl.3ll in 1911. The total value
Of the states production in 1914 amount
ed to sl,760,s6s, sum less BY s523. 4sg
than the value of the previous years
production but greater than the value OF
any other years production since 1900.
In the Allegsny district, which lies
wholly within New York, 267 wells were
completed during the year. of which 2l5,
or so per cent. yielded an average initial
daily production of 2.O7 barrels each.
Thirty-fve producing gas wells were also
drilled.
