IOWA CORN.

1T does not take much of an Opt
mist" says the Des Moines Regis
ter, Ito believe that the Iowa corn
crop will make up the two weeks
which it has lost in getting started.
Although corn is only three OF four
inches high in most fields, and the
weeds have gotten a start because
wet weather mas kept cultivators i'd
lie, there is still a very even stand.
Permanent damage is confined mainly
to fields which are naturally marshy,
and in which water stands over a
wider area than usual.
But the reason for believing that
Iowa corn will come out all right
are not merely those of analysis. To-
wa corn always does come through,
whether the season is very wet or
very dry, unseasonably not or unseas-
onably cold. There is only on stand
ard for judging OF the ability of Iowa
soil to procure corn crop under all
conditions met with in the state, and
that is the record of past perform
ance"
