RAINY WEATHER OF PAST WEEK
PREVENTS OPERATIONS IN
FIELDS.
FiRosTs IN NEARLY EVERY
SECTION OF STATE
Little Progress Made in Corn Planting
Some Of Earlier Fields May Have
to Be Repianted Because of Rotting
seed-smail Grains Making Little
Advance Because Of Cold Weather.

Waterloo, May 24.-There was not
cerned, in favor of crops the past week,
with the exception of possibly Monday
and Tuesday. The temperature was
SO low all week that it had a tendency
to retard the growth Of crops. Rains
of very cold nature fell for three
consecutive days and periodical frosts,
some heavy, occurred thruout practi-
cally every section Of the state of Iowa.
While it is hardly possible to judge at
this time the effects of the frost, to-
gether with the cool and damp wealth.
er, it is not thought they will have any
lasting effect, providing the weather
warns up soon, except upon some of
the more delicate garden truck and or
chards, which in some sections We're
quite badly nipped.
Handicaps Farmers.
The weather has kept the fields wet,
there has been little progress in corn
planting since week ago. Farmers
who have not completed their plant
ing are holding off awaiting more. ia
vorable conditions as it now appears
that some of the earlier fields will
have to be replanted. The general con-
dition of the corn crop will depend to
great extent on the weather cOndi-
tons for the next few weeks. About 40
per cent of the corn crop Of Iowa is
now planted, and it is the concensus
Of opinion that barring unexpected de-
velopments there will be at least an
average crop secured, Notwithstanding
the setback on account of the unfavor-
able weather.
During the last week of April, which
was far superior to any week so far
experienced in May, farmers took adj
vantage of opportunity presented and
started planting. Just as they were
about one-third thru rain was badly
needed. Operations were then sus-
pended, pending rain. Then the
weather became colder and later it
rained. In previous years farmers
commenced planting May 10 and were
thru by the goth so the corn crop this
year will be set back about two weeks.
Oats at standstill.
While oats have not progressed to
any extent during the past week, they
have not been seriously effected by the
cool weather and frosts. The stand is
good and general conditions are ia
vorable Oats. in most instances are
from four to six inches above the soil
and are in good health and able to
stand most any kind of weather from
now on. The rains of the past few
days have been beneficial and the crop
will crop rapidly if visited by plenty OF
warm sunshine t3 5
Vs. The rains have put pastures and
meadows in the best of condition, but
there are some sections, over the state
where moisture is still needed. It is
said that in the southern extremity Of
the state meadows and pastures are in
depIorable condition. Stock raisers
are looking forward to plenty Of feed
for their stock.
Rain Prevents Frosts.
One thing that farmers are thankful
for is the rain and they say 1t came
in nick Of time. The crops were threat
.ened by heavy frost Tuesday night
but Jupiter Pluvius came to the res
cue.

MUST REMOVE sTANDPIPE.
Decision Is Handed Down Against
Town Of Harlan.

Harlan, May 24.-Judge ]. B. Rock
.afellow, of Atlantic, has just rendered
his decision in a case Of interest to
Iowa municipalities. Almost thirty
five years ago the city Of Harlan, then
a struggling town for the first time Sc
cured electric lights and water works,
short of funds. placed it's standpipe on
one side Of public street.
Some months ago an action was
brought to abate the standpipe as a
nuisance and after some weeks of con-
sideration Judge Rockafellow ordered
the city to remove the standpipe within
six months from date of his decree.
There have been but few similar cases
in the United States involving the right
of municipality to occupy portion
of the street.
